Because the normal soda that does react has a larger ammount of carbonation in it.
Well, it doesn't! Both regular and diet explode after dropping mentos in it! It's simply; both have carbonation!
What you want to do is put mentos mints in a soda bottle and if it doesnt explode then shake it
Dropping Mentos into soda will cause it to explode.

The myth is that Mentos plus soda equals an explosion. The truth is the the soda bubbles up and erupts like a volcano, but does not actually explode.
They explode because of the baking soda and vinegar mixed in and when there together BOOM.
yes and even better than regular soda I believe diet coke is the best
Yes, Mentos does indeed explode but not in all fizzy drink it work best in deit coke because of the ingredients in it
Acid in vinegar reacts with sodium monohydrogencarbonate (baking soda) which is present in mentos.
There are chemicals in the soda called Potassium Benzoate and aspartame that react with other chemicals in Mentos like the gelatin and Arabic gum.
