WATCH: Man Swims in 1,500-Gallon Pool Filled With Coca-Cola and Mentos


Ahh, life goal achieved. 

Although not many share the same ambition, a video blogger on YouTube filled an entire swimming pool with 1,500 gallons of Coke and had his buddy take a plunge into it.



Taras Maksimuk, using YouTube username TechRax, has uploaded on Friday, June 24, a four-minute video flaunting their soda-made swimming pool. 

"This is something you wouldn't see in the movies," boasts TechRax, referring to his video, which amassed over 11.5 million views (over 80 thousand dislikes).

"I want to show you something crazy today," started TechRax in the video clip. "This is authentic Coca-Cola. It's a 1,500 gallon pool of pure Coke," TechRax continued as he showed the other 'ingredients' of the pool project.



To add fizz and "a tiny little bit of spice" in the sugary mixture, he threw in a bucket of Mentos candies in the middle area of the pool. After which, he poured in 200 pounds of ice on the side.

Then the moment of truth followed, his pool tester Ryan ran from a few meters towards the pool then gloriously jumped into the huge concoction, handling one more bottle of Coca-Cola, which he had to drink from.



Ryan was asked to "take a dip inside and swim in there like a fish." You can see his delight in this never-before-seen feat.

According to Ryan, the pool of Coke "feels a really smooth, actually. Though I feel all the fizz from the inside and it's really weird." He was then asked to dip his head in.

TechRax wrote on YouTube that it took them weeks of buying thousands of Coke bottles. It also took weeks to dispose the horrible smell in the backyard caused by the Coke getting dumped in the grass, TechRax said.



As part of the tradition in videos uploaded by TechRax, they needed to destroy some kind of technology. As TechRax put it, "what's this channel without no tech destructions?" 

The crew intentionally crashed a DJI Phantom 4 drone into the pool. The camera watched as the expensive toy sputtered in the liquid and died.

The pool was not made of pure Coke. According to the video description, about 7 percent Pepsi was used.
