Russian YouTuber creates giant explosion using 10,000 litres of Coca-Cola & Baking Soda

A Russian YouTuber has taken the baking powder-soda experiment to a whole new level by mixing 10,000 litres of Coca-Cola with a huge quantity of baking soda. YouTuber Maxim Monakhov, captured the incredible explosion that went viral on social media. Maxim and his team set up the experiment in a field away from the city.

In the video, thousands of litres of Coke are poured from commercial bottles into a custom-built vat. Maxim then used baking soda to trigger the chemical reaction. The whole team ended up getting covered in the fizzy drink.

"We launched 10,000 litres of cola mixed with soda. Yes, it would seem such an absurd and useless thing - but for me, it means a lot," Maxim said in Russian in his video. He added that the bizarre experiment took over four years. In total, Maxim has spent more than 700,000 rubles that amounts to over Rs 6.95 lakh for the video.

Maxim shared his video on his official YouTube page on August 21. The video narrated in Russian has garnered over 9.9 million views so far.
