I would store coke in a cold place if I were to do that experiment xD
Because the chemicals in diet coke react with the chemicals in the mentos, Normal coke has the same chemicals that mentos has, that is why you need to have a positive and negative to react, Normal coke and mentos is positive and positive.

No, its an Endothermic Reaction.
You get a 2 litres of coke (Diet Coke works the best) and leave the cap off in an large, open area and put three~four of mentos (mint ones are better than fruit flavoured ones) in and then it will make a coke geyser.

Yes, it does; however, it is still drinkable.
It is really just to show younger people how different things react, usually after performing this experiment the class will be taught the meaning of the terms independent, dependant and controlled variables and will identify these terms within the experiment. Eg. INDEPENDENT: flavours of mentos/ coke DEPENDENT: height of reaction (spurt) CONTROL: Level mentos is dropped from.
pepsi and coke, though coke works better
quantity of diet coke, number of mentos, diameter of hole, amount of CO2, different types of Mentos. that's not all possible, but that's quite a few.
The record is 20 meters
