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.

The experiment with Coca Cola and Mentos is a good illustration of chemistry in action. More specifically, Diet Coke is used. It is the carbon dioxide in the Diet Coke and the little dimples found on the Mentos candy pieces that create quite a spectacular reaction.

Because when the mentos and coke react, it makes a huge fountain of coke explode out of the bottle and it can look quite cool.
