The text describes a reaction involving toothpaste, cola, and hydrogen peroxide, producing foam that is claimed to be so discharged that it can fly.
The claims regarding the reaction of toothpaste, cola, and hydrogen peroxide creating foam, and the foam being discharged enough to fly, seem to stem from misunderstandings of chemical reactions. The evidence suggests that hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen gas, but there is no credible evidence that supports the claim of such a reaction propelling foam into the air. The second claim regarding foam flying is misconstrued with fishing foam flies, which are unrelated. Therefore, the claims are mostly unsupported by credible evidence.

Science
A reaction of toothpaste, cola, and hydrogen peroxide creates foam.
The evidence suggests that mixing hydrogen peroxide with other substances can cause the release of oxygen gas, which might result in foaming. However, there is no specific evidence from reliable sources confirming this combination reliably produces foam. The sources mention DIY uses of cola and toothpaste separately but do not substantiate the combined effect with hydrogen peroxide.

Mostly False
Science
The foam from the reaction is discharged enough to fly.
The evidence provided on foam flying pertains to fishing equipment, which uses foam material for tying flies, not chemically-generated foam capable of self-propelled motion. No credible sources or evidence support the claim that reaction-produced foam can fly or be discharged with force.
