Dude frolics in 1,500-gallon pool of Coca-Cola, adds Mentos and drones

An enterprising young man has filled an entire swimming pool with Coca-Cola so that people would like him on the Internet.

Taras Maksimuk also added some Mentos and 200 pounds of ice to the 1,500-gallon pool to liven things up. He then convinced his compatriot, Ryan, to take a dip.

"I feel like I'm in a pool of Coke, man" Ryan said, quite accurately, on this momentous occasion.

Then, because the theme of Maksimuk's YouTube channel, TechRax, is "smashing technology since 2011," he flew a DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter into the pool.

Spoiler alert: It got wet and full of Coke and stopped working.
