Mentos dropped into diet sodas will cause the CO2 to come out of solution very quickly. It is believed that the irregular surface of the candy provides an ideal location for bubbles to form and accelerates the process many times the normal speed, causing the geyser of soda to spew out of the top. Just about any Diet Soda will work and it goes about 10 feet!
