looks like a fountain doesn't it
here's the cache
the fountain you're seeing is actually bottles of exploding cokes

exploding cokes?
yes that's right
you read it
exploding COKE

so a dying question must be bugging your mind now
how do those Coke bottles explode into those geyser
shooting several metres into the air
you might not believe it but..
the chemical formula for this artistic phenomenon is achieve by adding..
Diet Coke + Mentos Sweets

there's a scientific research and study about this
got it from the website itself
so here you go to answer to quench that question of exploding cola

The Reason Behind It
These chemists are saying that the primary cause is physical, not chemical. Their explanation: nucleation sites. If you have a liquid that is supersaturated with gas (like soda, which is pumped full of carbon dioxide), a nucleation site is a place where the gas is able to form bubbles. Nucleation sites can be scratches on a surface or specks of dust – anywhere that you have a high surface area in a very small volume. That's where bubbles can form.Mentos seem to be loaded with nucleation sites. In other words, there are so many microscopic nooks and crannies on the surface of a Mento that an incredible number of bubbles will form when you drop it in a bottle of soda. Since the Mentos are also heavy enough to sink, they react with the soda all the way to the bottom. The escaping bubbles quickly turn into a raging foam, and the pressure builds dramatically. Before you know it, you've got a big geyser happening!
