Watch 1,650 Mousetraps Set Off A Massive Ping-Pong Ball Chain Reaction
In case fireworks aren’t your thing, there’s another great way to ring in the new year – by setting off thousands of armed mousetraps with ping-pong balls in an explosive video like this one!
The video, which was organized by Pepsi and filmed by HarrimanSteel to advertise the Pepsi Max drink, shows everything from the setup for the elaborate and massive experiment to its explosive conclusion. Interestingly enough, this chain reaction can be used in physics classrooms to simulate what happens in a nuclear reactor.
Though a number of sites have written that 2014 mousetraps were used, the video actually used 1650 mousetraps and 1840 ping-pong balls – according to the creators.

Load More Replies...I don't know if you are right, but this commercial is fantastic http://bit.ly/1w2Rywk
Load More Replies...creative people also need someone who pay them so they can buy food or anything else you use your money for! who should pay it instead?
I wonder how many times they had reset the traps before they started shooting? One small accident and they would have to start all over agai
What song is that playing? It's probably the coolest part of this video :P
f**k pepsi cola and coca cola...is dangerus for you...
Disappointed- expecting a Rube Goldberg type chain reaction, just tons of ping pong balls going off. An uncool Pepsi ad. I
I think it is an add for Pepsi. If I want to see commercials I can watch TV.
I think the money would have been better off being used for charity instead of this monumental, useless waste.
I think a better use of the large amount of money spent on this ridiculous stunt would have been to use it for charitable purposes.
Pepsi can f**k off!! Shove your ping ball up your a*s and leave the forest alone , I much rather see the orangutans alive than your balls
Don't these people have something more constructive to do with their time. This is just so stupid.
Isn't there something more constructive these people could spend their time on? This is just so stupid.
Profesor Heinz Haber hat damit die ketten Reaktion , schon vor 30 Jahre damit demonstriert ohne Käse
It is the piece of art and technology and effect, maybe the main idea could be you need just one kick and the chaos or party is starting:)
Happy to see the mousetraps being used for this and not killing mice! No-kill traps all the way!
Does to the brain what it does to the stomach. Ache and no nutrition.
I'm not sure if that's the lamest thing I've ever seen, or the greatest.
Very good, but for me it proves there aint nothing like the real thing, fireworks or Coke ;)
Love to see glow in the dark ping pong balls. Wish they had also presented it in real time, not slowed down.
Well, all hail to a new gmo poison portion manufactured with the help of the brave sacrifice of lab animals.
