Mentos look like their real smooth, but really they have lots of little small imperfections all over the surface. If you look at a glass of coke at any stage you can see the bubbles rising through it, if you put your finger into the coke you can see that bubbbles will form all over your finger. This is the carbon dioxide escaping from the coke. By putting a mentos in there all those little imperfections that are on the surface of it allow all the carbon dioxide to come out of solution, because there are so many little voids etc.. the mentos pulls a lot of carbon dioxide out fast and that's why the bottle of coke fizz's up.
