I Turn 10,000 MENTOS into Fine Art

I got 10,000 Mentos, and decided to sculpt some fine art. Check out my DIY candy art painting. It's a 2D, 3D mosaic of sugar! Let me know in the comments if you want me to drop it in Coke :)

"Weirdly, the rainbow ones seem to come out easier than all the others." Lots of practice

[@lucerosuarez1811]

Don’t let a drop of coke a cola on this 😂😂

[@jaynecobb3701]

I want to see this dropped into a kiddy pool of Diet Coke! That would be momentous!

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

No! Do!

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

Exploding art

[@Dig3vAn_s]

Can we just appreciate how much time and work she puts into every video? 👏👏👏

[@blubistheword]

This was such a cool project, I really enjoyed you talking a bit about art history and techniques, and the end result is definitely fine 💜

[@bluedragon1200]

Ali’s candy art is its own kind of genius. There was white chocolate David, Peeps couch and wall hanging, hearts mandala, cotton candy bunny, now mentos. What am I missing?

[@caitlinbrown7727]

Yes would love to see all the pieces together as an art show or exhibit!

[@JRNimmo]

Candy corn bust,

[@bluedragon1200]

@@JRNimmo yep.

[@Deltaenthalpy]

It wasn’t made of candy but she made a licorice rope dispenser for her car

[@scleogrl82]

​@@Deltaenthalpythat was the coolest thing!

[@sfowler1017]

The extra dimension made all the difference. So cool. And also, I haven't thought about Mentos in years and now I want some. So sponsorship goal accomplished!

[@pameladaley955]

This is so brilliant, Ali! AND so beautiful. It's soft and hard; it's legible and not. It segues back and forth between looking delicious and being squishy/tough! THANX

[@alispagnola]

Love this take :)

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Great art, as usual, but the best way to display it, in my opinion, would be to shine a bright light from the side to create shadows with the relief. You should use the remaining Mentos to do a sculpture by gluing them together or a crazy one shot display using cola bottles.

[@kirisviel]

I don’t normally like ASMR but… whoa that candy rattling was sooo satisfying! Your impromptu changes from the initial design ended up looking freaking amazing!

[@JustRoy11]

This is cool. Now melt down jolly ranchers and make a stained glass art window. Haha

[@delecti]

I love the double meaning of "fine". I also love how the creation process accidentally drove you down the rabbit hole of independently rediscovering circle packing. One of the beauties of fields like that is that they're universally replicable. Circles (or oblate spheroids in this case) anywhere show the same behavior no matter if they're theoretical circles on a chalkboard, or candies on canvas.

[@alispagnola]

OMG I love that I just learned the term "oblate spheroid"

[@delecti]

@@alispagnola Then you might also like knowing that the earth is also an oblate spheroid. The speed of Earth's rotation gives it a little bit of a bulge around the equator so it's not quite spherical (even aside from mountains and stuff).

[@Deltaenthalpy]

Circle packing type ideas also play a huge role in chemistry (atomic packing in solids)

[@scyonis]

I always love seeing your projects, and the incredulous looks on people's faces when I tell them about the videos later. Keep being outrageous ;)

[@alispagnola]

I exist, I swear!

[@emilyhenderson4798]

I got to experience a Torres piece (the one with the green candies that looked like a rug) at the Dallas Museum of Art in the early 00s. The idea was so simple but I’ve always loved how profound the art: every single person sees a different work because as one person takes a candy it changes for the next patron. I wish I’d learned more about the artist. Modern art-especially sculpture-rarely makes me feel things (which isn’t to say sculpture is bad, just that by brain is too literal to regularly see what the artist intended) but that one has stuck with me for 20 years. I wish I’d kept the candy now. 😂

[@livfuji]

I love this one! The final piece made me feel so nice, as some people would say, “satisfying.” You’re awesome! :)

[@user-gk2wk2id3j]

the best part is she can let it sit for YEARS love you Ali!!!

[@1st1anarkissed]

I love it, it's beautiful! Mentos should install it in their lobby.

[@Sabrina-zd3in]

😩😩 I’m so glad you uploaded and I decided to take a nap your videos before a nap are the chefs kiss

[@conversationswithadrianne]

😂 "... I would take my time with this and think hard and be nervous but I have no time for that" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 love the self awareness 😂❤ 2:45

[@Steph-xl3nq]

I see more art with the wrappers coming!

[@jaynecobb3701]

You made a memento of Mentos!

[@Chewbacca1220]

This is awesome! I love the 3-D effect!!

[@PartyTimeBrewing]

And the next video: "How to make friends with 10 Billion Ants". Love the color blind test vibe, looks great! Cheers!

[@scleogrl82]

You always out do yourself... absolutely love this! ❤

[@Butterflier00]

1:24 i would legit listen to that for 30 minutes.

[@MsMeyara]

Mentos better sponsor you for another video, but entirely consisting out of ASMR. That was so dang satisfying.

[@themathhatter5290]

Now, the only possible sequel to this is to get commissioned by the Coca-Cola company and douse this piece in diet Coke, having the commission be the video of the fizzing.

[@sarahbrehaut6354]

Yes that would b3 so amazing

[@krazychan]

This Mentos ad worked great, craving Mentos now and need to go get some.

[@ecopennylife]

Art work is definitely FINE ❤

[@zaraheart]

One of my favorite candies. My 9yo is obsessed with the fruity ones and I love the minty ones. Never tried the kind in the green packaging. Too bad they were expired, unless they were? Only thing I disliked about this was all the wasted candy lol It looks awesome though

[@bsjeffrey]

the next video needs to be putting it in a giant bottle filled with soda

[@noizeemama3697]

Adding the layers made it so much better.

[@annalouise4098]

Ali!!! This turned out AWESOME!!!

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Both the art and the artist are fine.

[@chrimsonevans2016]

It’s Can-D 😂❤

[@conversationswithadrianne]

All the color changes are APPROXIMATELY where they belong PRECISELY 😂😂😂4:32 I'M enjoying this video 😂 artistic and witty

[@verticalgambit]

Great job pal'ly!

[@lisamchugh9303]

This is brilliant! Another fantastic art piece, taking us along for the ride ❤

[@alispagnola]

SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU

[@kdtrilogybackup5735]

I love your outrageous art videos keep going

[@aleeyore]

I love these adventures in art!

[@50sRockChick]

That looked really cool.

[@ourhomesteadclassroom]

Some of your finest work yet, Ms. Ali! 👩🏼‍🎨

[@trendkill7781]

reminds me of a Mel Bochner inspired sticky sweet (not) so "strong language" tribute ! !

[@elihaugen2971]

Love this. ❤ I haven't eaten Mentos in a long time. But today I'll buy one. Because this was fun. 😊

[@suzil7687]

Well done! Love it!

[@01FozzyS]

I feel like eating that whole frame. 🤣 Well done,Paly!

[@punishedprops]

You really stuck the landing on this one! We also got a terrific art lesson. A+!

[@maxximumb]

Sweet 2.5D art.

[@michelleb8623]

You're myspirit animal. I love this!❤

[@rbranch234]

Cool. The layering really made it pop. 🎉

[@popefacto5945]

Oh. That is indeed fine art.

[@ItsstillpronouncedRiley]

The art be looking like a treat😂

[@Felici]

I super duper enjoy your creativity!!! ❤ More!!! More!!! More!!!

[@Julaeable]

This might be my favourite piece you have done so far ❤

[@joshuaremba8261]

Can-D was one of your best puns

[@cyrusdizon9707]

ooh you're very creative

[@tennohack6704]

This is outrageously AMAZING!

[@jeannemarcum5234]

i just love every thing you do. you are a wonderful human! thanks for creating!

[@HHh-ej4rl]

You did a Fine job

[@greggoryschultz5003]

Fine work here, Spags.

[@labontecarruthers]

This is a new level. Love your work 🎉

[@diamondstud322]

Love it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@diamond5914]

That number of mentos just looks like Easter came early

[@FotoStijn]

I love your art

[@ellielevine2038]

I 👏 love 👏 this 👏

[@CariLynnRland]

I love it!!

[@katelynv5939]

The amount of self control it must have taken to not eat all the extras...... I could never

[@michaellewter8671]

Kind of reminds me of the Lite Brite toy they used to sell years ago...

[@mr_voron]

I’m still kicking myself for missing you at OpenSauce 😭 maybe next year?

[@alispagnola]

Def next year!

[@chiproush7480]

art *and* ASMR. More, please!

[@tiborkovacs5317]

That is minty cool ...hahah great vid thanks

[@torigoff6189]

Love this!

[@noconz0727]

You seem like so much fun

[@KH6WZ]

Wow! Ali, you have super will power. If this project were mine -- and I had leftovers -- no problem - I would start eating them! And - a question: Are you going to preserve or protect the art with clear lacquer or something? I wouldn't want any ants or other critters invading your house to feast on the candy.

[@briukowich9134]

Now you should make art with the wrappers

[@sixfootianna]

DO A TICTAC SELF PORTRAIT!!!

[@kmwwrench]

I love this. I would definitely hang it on my wall - after reinforcing it.

[@amyheadstrom2455]

This video is (better than) fine.

[@DocTrower1980]

Ahhhh, this stuff is really fresh! MENTOS...FRESH...get it?

[@douglasboyle6544]

6:00 "This is not what I meant, Oh." I see what you did there

[@jemmmmyeah]

Love this

[@bobsquirrelking]

The layering on the letters definitely made it pop, but that Can-D pun was just painful.

[@mobilematthew]

This is wild

[@futurisma9014]

how much carpet fiber did you hot glue onto that canvas along with the candy

[@livfuji]

7:02 🫠 dang it

[@reelfinsfishn3869]

I love your work just wish you weren’t being rushed.

[@Arialight]

with the remaining mentos you can get a bunch of coke soda and make a mentos explosion!

[@daco109]

Mentos volcano

[@Anna63265]

You need to make something arty out of one piece of everything that you have mad ❤🎉😂😮

[@chevynovascotia3301]

Oh. Diamond Art painting that you can actually see the drills

[@bigelectriccat1]

Ah, Georges Seurat. Ferris Bueller would approve!

[@agallina9]

mentos knew what they were doing with this because this video couldn’t have made me want to eat mentos more

[@WomensTop20]

Sweet!!!

[@Risu1177]

The question is Did you feel Fresh afterwards since Mento's are the Fresh maker.,

[@Drassk]

I did circle packing for my honours thesis for my math degree, I finally feel seen pally!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Cool. 😊

[@sophiefrancis8295]

I really miss the rainbow mentos, you can’t get them anymore where I am from.

[@danbrit9848]

clumsy me walking in with a big thing of coke ...whooops ...lol...jk amazing work

[@noeestrada7910]

This video is fine

[@pattheplanter]

Leonardo da Vinci spent 13 years on one painting and then forgot to deliver it.

[@goobieguy2456]

this is the most fine art ive ever seen 🤌

[@MrTheta78]

This Is Fine
