Well mentos have these small pockets on them where the CO2 can gather on and be released very rapidly. This is called nulceation. There is no chemical reaction

caffeine, potassium benzoate, Aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke and the Gelatin and gum Arabic ingredients of the Mentos all contribute to the jet effect.
