Using a higher F/stop would have had more of the picture in focus. Oh! using Dr. Pepper in the coke glass is a great twist :-P

Classic urban legend...good job.

looks a little dark to me. I don't like the glass reflection at the bottom, but that's about it.

Technical: 1/3 - low because the focus appears to be soft and the image appears to lack contrast

I like the composition and the head on the Coke adds appeal. A little sharpening and some contrast work with levels would brighten this right up :)

Tested by the Mythbusters, comprehensively busted! However, it is a very nice photo, I like the fact that the glass isn't quite full and the packet is open and some of the pop rocks are spilled out, especially in the reflection of the glass, making for a combination. 9

I remember this one from a long time ago.

It's true! My cousin's neighbor had a friend who knew a kid who died this way!

I knew someone was going to do this lol

You know Pop Rocks™ and Coca Cola® makes for one deadly combination. So they say. I heard Altoids and Coke does some pretty amazing things as well :)

You could die with this combo!

Really?? I never knew! Was my favourite snack combo as a kid :)

A little bit blurry - possibly needed a bit more lighting. Nice idea.

That's funny, I just saw this one done on mythbusters ;)

Did you put any pop rocks in the soda? It would have been cool to see a lot more fizzing, perhaps even an overflow.
Post actions
This is really funny. The photo could be a little sharper, etc, but it really made me smile.

LOL... I actually saw this on "MythBusters". This definitely fits the challenge, but unfortunately the image is soft and the lighting flat. A different perspective and better lighting coupled with a wider DOF would certainly help this image IMHO
Post actions
I think there is a color cast here. The lighting looks dark and murky. maybe it just needs a bit more contrast.
Post actions
Focus or DOF seems a bit off...Not a combination that I want to try...lol

A little out of focus, but a great attempt, one of the more original entries.
Post actions
It actually IS a deadly combination, one of those damn rocks nearly took out my eye and gave me toothache for a week! Good idea well done!
Post actions
i think focus on the pop rocks would have been better than focus on the foam from the soda, nice idea though, I almost attempted it with a defferent presentation in mind. im surprised more people didnt do this.

Another classic urban legend, I rated you high on originality, I docked points for the shot not being sharp and clear and it seems somewhat out of focus, 7/10
Post actions
I've heard that. I'm not willing to try to see if its true or not. Image seems very dark and focus is a bit off.
Post actions
i have tried this, its fun because you can fell them pop while there in your throat and in your stomach...but then again i blew up!
Post actions
Fun idea. Could have been pulled off in a number of ways. Here I think you need more contrastiness and up the saturation a bit. Maybe a little lower of a n angle also would work better.
Post actions
I remember this! Great idea!

Nearly fell off my chair when I saw this.. Kind of forgotten this one. You hear this a lot when you're a kid.. :) brings back fond memories.
