Later that night . . .

NOTE: Don't read this posting unless you've read the prior one titled, "Coca Cola, Mentos, and Buckfield Maine."

When I got home on Monday the 22nd (the day I posted the last posting about Mentos and Diet Coke), MRM said, "Check out the cartoon for today." And there was Zits . . . about Mentos and Diet Coke! King Features doesn't post their cartoons on the web anymore, you have to subscribe to their service. So try to go find your newspaper from January 22, 2007. In frame 1, two boys are outside the faculty lounge. One is crouched down holding the door open, the other is flicking something into the dark abyss of the lounge and shouts, "Mento in the Hole!" In frame 2, both boys have their fingers in their ears and their eyes shut tight. The faculty lounge door is off the hinges, a very large "ka-foosh!" is overhead, and something is spraying out of the lounge. In frame 3, as both boys are running away, one says, "It's surprising how many teachers are Diet Coke drinkers." The other replies, "I'd call it 'fortunate.'"
