Eric
can someone please explain why Mentos have that reaction with Diet Coke.
Miss Cellania
Eric, I don’t know the details, but I know it’s the reaction of the gum arabic in the candy.
Manticore
they explained it on mythbusters. it has to do with the texture of the candy, the aspartame and the caffiene if I remember. just run a youtube search for mythbusters diet coke mentos

Yeah, the surface of the candy acts as a catalyst, it has millions of tiny pits in which gas bubbles can form. Aspartame has a bad effect on the stability of the carbon dioxide-water solution, making diet Coke more liable to release all its gas at once than regular Coke.

It would have been much cooler if it were a mentos-diet coke mixing flash mob.
