Potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke, in combination with the gelatin and gum arabic ingredients of the Mentos, all contribute to formation of the foam. The structure of the Mentos is the most significant cause of the eruption due to nucleation. You wind up with a mentos volcano, mentos gyser, mento boms, small pores on the candy's surface catalyze the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas from the soda, resulting in the rapid expulsion of copious amounts of foam.

Layman's terms-get bottle of coke put candy in, it go boom from pressure. Take a bottle, fill it with baking soda, take your favorite vinegar pour it in, get a cork, shake it up & watch it boom, or just put the cap back on shake the crap out of it-watch bottle go bye bye,
