actually the gum arabic is only part of the reason, you can read about this on the link I posted

If you're curious, this happens because Gum Arabic found in mentos decreases the surface tension of water, which does not allow gasses to dissolve in it as well. As a result, the CO2 is released rather quickly. Interestingly, Diet Coke is often used because it isn't sticky- the sugar causes the Coke to stick.

Yeah, I just wander how they found this out. Did someone choke to death, drinking this while they had a mentos in their mouth and if so did they sue the makers of mentos or Dt. Coke.

And the moral of the story is: If you drink diet coke with mentos in your mouth, then you could die.

I've seen it. The guys who did it were probably all soaked and sticky afterwards...yuck! But I agree, it's cool.
