Foaming Monsters

Hello. For our science fair experiment we wanted to find out what ingrediants would make the best foaming monster. We mixed equal amounts vinegar and dishwashing liquid with 1 teaspoon of baking soda for one monster. We made another monster with 3/4 of dishwashing liquid and1 /4 vinegar and then added one teaspoon of baking soda. The last monster had 3/4 vinegar to 1/4 dishawashing liquid. We observed to see which mixture was best. The monster with more vinegar made the best monster. It had a lot of foam and exploded out of the bottle. Please leave a message for us.
