- Thomas finished the sweets and drank a Coors Light.
- The stunt riffed on the “Big Me” video and its mint-throwing legacy.

## Summary

At a Foo Fighters concert in Sydney, Dave Grohl turned the band’s long-running Mentos joke into a challenge for a fan. The moment matters as a playful twist on the audience tradition sparked by the group’s 1996 “Big Me” video.

Grohl asked a fan named Thomas to eat a whole roll of Mentos during “Big Me”, promising to drink a beer alongside him if he did. Thomas ate the mints within seconds and then drank a Coors Light, prompting Grohl to joke that he might find him sick in the dressing room. The band has several Australian dates left in November and is due back in Australia and New Zealand in January.
