Because the chemicals in Diet Coke react with the chemicals in the mentos, Normal coke has the same chemicals that mentos has, that is why you need to have a positive and negative to react, Normal coke and mentos is positive and positive.
it doesn't make much difference...but diet coke is easier to clean up
Because it has more artificial stuff in it
Diet Coke
I would store coke in a cold place if I were to do that experiment xD

No, its an Endothermic Reaction.
You get a 2 litres of coke (Diet Coke works the best) and leave the cap off in an large, open area and put three~four of mentos (mint ones are better than fruit flavoured ones) in and then it will make a coke geyser.
it makes it shoot out the bottle, the coke.
mentos
I think that Coke and Mentos will do the trick. It has to be REGULAR COKE!The Mint Mentos will work the best.
Mentos, of course _ | | / \ | | | | | | |____ |
yes and even better than regular soda I believe diet coke is the best
Yes, it does; however, it is still drinkable.
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.
