It's a LOT easier than you think:
Step 1 - Buy a two liter bottle of soda (technically anything will do, but traditionalists use Diet Coke) and a tube of Mentos (again, technically Tums and other stuff works, but it's easiest with the Mentos in this case).
Step 2 - Remove the outer sleeve from the Mentos, but leave all the candy still wrapped in the foil tube it comes in.
Step 3 - Open the Diet Coke and drop the whole silver sleeve inside. Quickly screw the cap on tight.
Step 4 - Unscrew the cap slightly until you hear the gas escaping, then violently throw the bottle on the ground.
The orientation of the bottle when you throw it down doesn't matter immensely unless you want it to go in a specific direction. Even if you throw it down sideways, it seems to have a tendancy to end up shooting upward.
Also wear clothes you don't mind getting splashed on! The original experimentors said the only reason they chose Diet Coke was that it wouldn't stain and could be washed out easily!
Hope that helps! Have fun! (I love these things!)

You need a bottle of diet coke and 2-3 mentos. It helps if you drill a small hole in the lid and drop the mentos in with a string through it. Then you get a longer lasting fountain that goes higher.
The site I've given has full instructions and the videos, which are great!
Be ready for the mess!

Get a 2-liter bottle of soda and drop an entire unwrapped roll of Mentos in it all at once.
It's that simple.
