You've seen the mentos/coke rockets before? Cause I haven't!

Right, mentos is a brand of candy right? (got this from wiki)

So, what do they actually do with these mentos to make the diet coke be like this?
Do they drop a few sweeties in along with the coke?

What has mentos got to do with coke?

Explain

obviously must be some kind of reaction with the sweet and the drink to make it really really really fizzy. shake it up a bit, slam it off the ground to break the cap and watch it fly really
