You don't really have to *wait* but if you want to be at the safest point wait a minute or so you should be fine, but the shortest time is 10 seconds but you'll feel small reaction. If you CHUG Diet Coke you probably WILL feel it, and might even hurt.

Diet Coke and Mentos produce the largest spectacle.
First you need a 2 liter of diet coke and 2-3 packs of mentos. Try to keep as much of the co2 in the coke ie not shaking it. Then drink a little over half slowly in give or take 2 min. Then eat all of the mentos whole. Then drink the rest of the coke. Some advice, lie down during the aftermath and when your blowing up. Also try not to burp. Thats what blows you up.
