In November 2005, EepyBird created their first Coke & Mentos experiment as the finale to a sketch called "In The Kitchen With Fritz" at the Oddfellow Theater in Buckfield, Maine. That performance culminated in a ten-bottle Coke & Mentos fountain.
Spurred on by the response of the live crowd, they then spent the next five months working on new effects and preparing a 101-bottle experiment modeled on the Bellagio fountains on the Las Vegas Strip. They filmed their big experiment, "The Extreme Diet Coke and Mentos Experiments: Experiment #137" on April 29, 2006 in a field in Buckfield, Maine.
On June 3, 2006, EepyBird posted its "Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments" video on EepyBird.com. The only person they told about the site was Voltz's brother David, nonetheless, within hours EepyBird.com began getting thousands of visitors. By the end of the first day they had over 14,000 views.
On Monday morning, June 5, 2006, a producer from the "Late Show with David Letterman" called and invited Voltz and Grobe to perform their piece on the Letterman show. Later that same week, Perfetti van Melle (the makers of Mentos) called to offer their support. On Wednesday, June 7, 2006 All Things Considered aired an interview with EepyBird.
