there is a large amount of fruit acid in mentos , so when you react it with another acid they will combine and cause a reaction: if you put a mentos in a can of soda it will erupt, explode, ect. like an explosive volcano due to the fact of the acid.
Above answer is completely wrong, there are tiny nucleation sites on the mentos where the CO2 of the soda's carbonation turns to real gas and fizzes up through the tiny opening. as a result of all the bubbles, the soda literally is pushed up and out of the bottle into a soda geyser.

A eat Mentos and soda and nothing happens what's wrong?
If you want mean "I ate some mentos and soda and nothing happened, what's wrong" Then I can tell you nothing is wrong. The recation happens because you are dropping the mentos into the soda (see Why_do_diet_coke_and_mentos_reactfor full details) and the digestion doesn't work like that. Also, the stomach acid won't let the reaction occur.
