Best Answer

No, the Mentos do not explode. There is however a physical reaction that causes a geyser to spray from an open or perforated bottle when Mentos are added to Diet Coke.

Answer:Yes, although not as well as the box it comes in says (in my experience)

Put 10 in a 2L soda bottle and it's about 6-10 feet, least in my experience (2 under identicle conditions)

There are chemicals in the soda called Potassium Benzoate and Aspartame that react with other chemicals in Mentos like the Gelatin and Arabic gum.
