When the mentos hits the surface of the Coke and Spirte, then the compression of Carbon Dioxide forms bubbles on the suface of mentos and its released into the air and pushes the coke out with it.
It's not a chemical reaction; it's purely physics. I think you're referring to what happens when you drop Mentos mints into an open bottle of soda. What occurs is simple but dramatic. A Mentos mint appears to be smooth, but in reality it's covered with microscopic rugosities -- dimples, wrinkles, etc. This both increases the actual surface area of the mint and provides "nesting sites" -- places where bubbles can form.
When you open the soda bottle, you've depressurized a solution that's supersaturated with CO2, and the CO2 is bound to outgas out of solution. When exposed to a Mentos, thousands of micro-bubbles form on the surface almost instantly, which in turn combine into larger bubbles, which in turn effervesce and overflow the bottle -- often dramatically.

Yes, they are chemical products.
Acid in vinegar reacts with sodium monohydrogencarbonate (baking soda) which is present in mentos.
Coke and mentos do.but you must place 3 mentos and close the lid.shake .Wait and open for eruption
Each material has a specific solubility in a solvent.
In chemistry baking soda has a pH value higher than 7 and reacts with acids.
Sort of. The mythbusters show demonstrated that it does have a small effect, however without the dissolved Co2 there is nothing to fiz.PS toss some mentos in there *grins*
mentos
Mentos.
more mentos shake up the soda prior mush up mentos
You can drink soda and eat Mentos at the same time, if you want. It will not kill you.
Well you can put mint mentos in coke/pepsi and other drinks, soda, and it will shoot up. Is this what you were asking? Hope this helped.
When you do the soda thing, slide mentos into the 2liter bottle of soda, when i goes off make sure your standing back. The explosion will not harm you from the inside or out.

POP I suppose??
It depends on how much mentos are put into it. But you say it's a CAN of soda so i think probabaly about 1 meter
I strongly believe diet coke has a stronger reaction to mentos!
