When Mentos are dropped into Diet Coke, a rapid physical reaction occurs rather than a chemical one. The surface of the Mentos candy is covered in tiny pits, which facilitate the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the soda. This causes an explosive eruption of foam as the gas escapes quickly, resulting in the iconic geyser effect. The reaction is enhanced by the absence of sugar in Diet Coke, which allows for a more vigorous release of gas compared to regular soda.

When you mix Coke, Nutella, and Mentos together, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the Coke to fizz and bubble rapidly. This reaction is due to the carbon dioxide in the Coke being released quickly when the Mentos are added, creating a foamy explosion.
