Do fruit Mentos explode with Diet Coke?

No, fruit Mentos do not explode with Diet Coke. The original Mentos candy, which is mint-flavored, is the one that is known for causing a geyser-like eruption when dropped into a bottle of Diet Coke. This reaction is due to the combination of the gelatin and gum arabic in the Mentos candy and the aspartame in Diet Coke, which create nucleation sites for carbon dioxide bubbles to form and rapidly expand, causing the eruption. Fruit Mentos do not contain gelatin or gum arabic, so they do not produce the same reaction with Diet Coke.
