Basically you are witnessing the surface effect. The candy is releasing the dissolved carbon dioxide in the carbonated soda. The carbon dioxide is forming bubbles at a rapid rate. When the bubbles get to the top the have nowhere else to go but up so they fly out of the bottle, pushing much of the liquid with them.

How many Mentos do you add to sprite to make it explode?
You need at least 1. And, it depends what kind of pop you are using. Diet coke produces the best results because it has the most Carbon Dioxide gas in it, and that means that the rough surface and the pores on the Mentos candies will get filled up with the Diet Coke carbon dioxide gas. Right after Diet Coke comes Pepsi, and on and on.
