The soda is packed with loads of bubbles that want to get out of the liquid. To do so they need to form bubbles around something like a spec of dirt or a tiny dent in the bottle. That's why you see bubbles forming from the same places in glasses of soda.
A mentos has a very rough surface (on a microscopic scale) so when you put it in all the millions of bubbles suddenly form on the mint creating loads of gas which has to go somewhere. So it blasts out the top of the drinks bottle. It works with any rough surfaced material like chalk, not just mentos.
because of the chemicals in side the soda and the inside the mentos

Releasing of carbon dioxide and the great volume of pores in mentos.
mentos and soda are not explosive under STP.... so, for future reference, "explode" is not really the right word, but I know what you're talking about.
the mentos have pits in them and they have carbon dioxide in them and it gets realest
It is the chemical reaction that the mentos have when they combine
soda and mentos

Dropping Mentos into soda will cause it to explode.

The myth is that Mentos plus soda equals an explosion. The truth is the the soda bubbles up and erupts like a volcano, but does not actually explode.
They explode because of the baking soda and vinegar mixed in and when there together BOOM.
because a chemical reaction happens to make it explode
Acid in vinegar reacts with sodium monohydrogencarbonate (baking soda) which is present in mentos.
There are chemicals in the soda called Potassium Benzoate and aspartame that react with other chemicals in Mentos like the gelatin and Arabic gum.
Well, it doesn't! Both regular and diet explode after dropping mentos in it! It's simply; both have carbonation!
You can but i heard your stomach could explode but its not impossable
No, mentos (mint not flavored mentos)make root beer "explode" not skittles.
Because of the carbon dioxide in the Mentos :)
the soda gets to much fizz and it xplodes thanks to the mento???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
