I wonder... can you replace Mentos with something else? And could you use Pepsi? Maybe I'll try it one day

there is no reaction between diet coke and mentos
The Mentos And Diet Coke Reaction

how to create the most powerful diet coke mentos reaction?

when you open a bottle of coke, C02 bubbles are formed due to loss in pressure. However due to water's natural viscosity and tensional force this process is slowed down dramatically. When you dissolve mentos in coke(or whatever I didnt observe when I did it) the gum arabic(a type of sticky substance used to add mass to mentos and other candies) reduces this surface tension causing rapid release of gas, causing foam which shoots out as the 'explosion'.

Mentos have a lot of tiny holes on them (think of the moon's surface), and diet coke is carbonated. When you drop the mentos in, the carbon dioxide in the soda comes out into the tiny holes on the mentos, and it happens very fast. The bubbles float to the top very fast. The aspritame and caffiene increase the effects, thus having the bubbles rocket out so fast that the some of the soda is dragged along, thus creating the large fountain of soda.
