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)

Dropping Mentos into soda will cause it to explode.

The myth is that Mentos plus soda equals an explosion. The truth is the the soda bubbles up and erupts like a volcano, but does not actually explode.
They explode because of the baking soda and vinegar mixed in and when there together BOOM.
Acid in vinegar reacts with sodium monohydrogencarbonate (baking soda) which is present in mentos.
There are chemicals in the soda called Potassium Benzoate and aspartame that react with other chemicals in Mentos like the gelatin and Arabic gum.
Well, it doesn't! Both regular and diet explode after dropping mentos in it! It's simply; both have carbonation!
