The effect of the mento explosion is not as dramatic as the Diet Coke explosion primarily due to the difference in carbonation levels and the amount of gas released. Diet Coke contains a higher concentration of carbon dioxide, which rapidly escapes when the pressure is released, creating a more explosive reaction. Mento candies, while effective in nucleating bubbles, don't produce as much carbonation as the soda itself. Additionally, the surface area of the Mentos provides more nucleation sites but does not generate the same volume of gas as the release from a carbonated beverage.

Can you substitute Diet Coke for regular coke in a mento rocket?

It might work. The dissolved CO2 tends to be released much more readily from Diet Coke, when it gets warmer, or is shaken, or when a catalyst such as a Mentos is added. You may not get a fast enough rate of release from regular coke.
