Basically, you are witnessing the Surface Effect. Carbon Dioxide forms bubbles. Diet Coke has more carbon dioxide than other regular sodas. The surface of the "mento" is jagged and filled with nooks and crannies. The Carbon Dioxide finds all of these holes and fills them with bubbles. Since the Mentos are heavy, they drop to the bottom of the bottle, forming bubbles all the way down. This is what causes the fast and furious explosion out of the top of the Diet Coke bottle.
when the Mentos hits the surface of the coke, the compressed carbon dioxide forms bubble on the surface of the Mentos. and it is released into the air and pushes the coke out with it. the Mentos can be mint or fruit (I have tested both)
There are several reasons, but the physics community has settled on nucleation as the reason.
The reason that the soda erupts so violently from the bottle is actually twofold: a decrease of the surface tension of the soda (due to dissolving Mentos), and an increase in nucleation sites (sites where bubbles of CO2 can form) within the bottle (due to the rough Mentos surface). Both of these factors make the carbon dioxide in the soda less likely to stay dissolved and more likely to become gaseous. The fountain effect is from all of the CO2 going from dissolved to gaseous at once, and at a great rate.

its the gas in the Pepsi that makes it explode.
the mentos cause a chemical reaction with the coke causing it to explode .
Mentos cause the carbon dioxide to come out of the cola creating pressure inside the bottle :)
I dont really know what you are trying to ask, but when you put mentos in coca cola, the cola explodes.
Mentos...
Carbohydrates are added to the coca cola and mentos which react together to cause a reaction.
Usually it's just diet cola that is the most reactive when mentos are dropped in.
Coca-cola baby!!
Cola or Coke is the best, preferably Coca- Cola. But that doesn't mean that the others don't do the same thing. They all shoot up into the air. But because of the chemical make up in the coke and the mentos that seems to work best.
If shaken enough, yes. any soda will explode when shaken up.
You can mix coke and mentos together and it makes an explosion
Because the normal soda that does react has a larger ammount of carbonation in it.
No mentos only explode in diet it pop if you try regular you will be wasting your time
put mints in the diet coca cola or put a dry ice cube inside it ande stand back because the bottle will explode
Mints with sugar will cause the carbon dioxide in soda to be released all at once, causing the soda to foam in an extreme manner. But the soda does not explode. You may spray Coca Cola on the ceiling.
