The experiment:

Pour the red color in the cup of acetic, in order to give the solution a reddish color similar to Lava color.
Pour the Soda powder into the bottle and add the Acetic acid.

In 2-3 seconds A chemical reaction will start, between the two components, and the CO2 gas – one of the products of this reaction will cause a strong flow out of the fluids. It realy looks like a volcano.
