The chemical reaction causes the Diet Coke to foam at a rapid rate and "explode" into the air. Mint is used instead of fruit-flavor Mentos because fruit flavored Mentos have a smooth coating which slows the reaction.
Because mentos, althought they feel smooth, have millions of microscopic flaws in them, giving the carbonation in sodas a place to form rapidly. This causes the soda to release all the gas (CO2) that was bonded to the soda, which then causes the volume to increase drastically, which, if the bottle is closed, builds up the pressure that leads to the explosion.
Probably if you shake it enough:)
No
you can put some mint mentos in the pop
Feed them rice or pop rocks!
Menthos mints inserted into a 2-liter soda pop (plastic) bottle will explode after the acid in the soda breaks down the mint: some people make rockets out of them! GET AN ADULT TO SUPERVISE FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION!

Pea pods do not explode as in "BAM!" They do, however, pop.
Mints with sugar will cause the carbon dioxide in soda to be released all at once, causing the soda to foam in an extreme manner. But the soda does not explode. You may spray Coca Cola on the ceiling.
all you have to do is add sodium to the pop rocks!!
