"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. Hundreds of students participated with a goal of setting off a series of 3,000 geysers, a figure they claim to have exceeded with 3,051 total simultaneous eruptions.

Students say the idea grew from a plan for a graduation prank into a way to put their small town on the map. A video of the attempt was recorded by local newspaper Princeton Union-Eagle
