it becomes pressurized.
Alka-Seltzer and Mentos react differently when combined with liquids. Alka-Seltzer contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, which produce carbon dioxide when dissolved in water, creating fizz. Mentos, when dropped into carbonated beverages, causes rapid release of carbon dioxide due to its porous surface. Combining the two may create a vigorous fizz, but they serve different purposes and have different reaction mechanisms.

Liquids can react differently to different substances based on their chemical properties. Some liquids may dissolve in certain substances, form a homogeneous mixture, react chemically to produce a new substance, or remain unaffected by the presence of the other substance. The interaction between liquids and other substances depends on factors such as polarity, solubility, and chemical reactivity.
Any carbonated soda with bubbles should react since the reaction is caused by a buildup of carbon in tiny pits on the surface of uncolored/unwaxed mentos. If you use a waxed/smooth version of the candy it will not have a good reaction to ANY soda, because the pits will be filled or fewer.
It pretty much means when you put a Mento into a carbonated drink (coca-cola), it has a chemical reaction and it goes BOOM.
Carbon dioxide (CO2)

the dimply surface in the mentos cause a polar attraction between the water molecules
it makes it shoot out the bottle, the coke.
Rather explosively. When you mix Diet Coke and Mentos, they will fizz like there's no tomorrow. If you want to try this, do it outside.
pepsi and coke, though coke works better
Because they react
