If you drop Mentos into a bottle of Diet Coke, you will get a Coke fountain. Myth-busters did a special on this:
---edit---
You will get Coke fizzing out of your nose if you consume both together.

we took a 2 liter bottle of coke and about 5 mentos and dropped them in the coke all at once(make a paper funnel that they will fit through) have the kids hold the funnel as you drop the mentos in.

I never heard Coke and Mentos. I thought it was Pop Rocks and coke. For Pop Rocks and coke I think it has something to do with the fact that Pop Rocks like pop (lol) so it has something about your air supply. With Coke it is carbonated so the same air supply thing happens. Together, it like makes it so you can breathe or something. But i'm not really sure....I think it is like the same way with mentos...sorry, i probably didn't really help you that much...lol...

because through a process of nucleation or something along those lines... the mentos allow carbon dioxide bubbles to form very rapidly (as you can see when you stick them in diet coke) causing a buildup of gas that when ingested is fatal to the human body.

because the menthol in mentos reacts with the acid in the coke that make this compound an unstable reaction, well i think it's not fatal but you will just end up continous farting and burping :-P

It's an urban legend. There's no truth to it at all.
