Drop a Mentos candy into the soda, and a large number of bubbles will form all over the candy at the nucleation sites. As the candy sinks, it passes through more soda and creates more bubbles. Collectively, these bubbles create foam and the pressure necessary to cause an eruption

Carbon dioxide is what makes the soda bubbly. When you look at Mentos candy, it's hard to believe it can cause such a reaction in soda. Each Mentos has thousands of tiny pits on its surface. When a mint hits the soda, the pressurized carbon dioxide forms little bubbles on the candy surface.

What happens if you combine a mentos candy with Diet Coke?
It depends what type of mentos you are using. The mint mentos will make it have a bigger impact. Other flavors, like grape or green apple, will not make it fizz as much. Try getting mentos mintensity and placing it into the coke. I'm not sure if it has any stronger effect or not, but it fizzes because the mentos hae little pores in them or something.. Go on YouTube and search up mythbusters mentos and coke. They will give better info.
