"Coke Geysers" World Record Attempt
The Princeton High School Student Council organized a community effort to break the world record for simultaneously erupting coke geysers on May 27, 2011. The current record - 2,854 bottles - was set in October 2010 in the Philippines. [3] Hundreds of students participated with a goal of setting off a series of 3,000 geysers, [4] a figure they exceeded with 3,051 total simultaneous eruptions. However, Guinness Book of World Record personnel did not officiate the event and never made the record official. [5] Students say the idea grew from a plan for a graduation prank into a way to put their small town on the map. [4] A video [6] of the attempt was broadcast on Minnesota NBC News affiliate Kare 11 and edited by a YouTube user named Physics314Nerd.
