Discussion:

Why did the bubbles form?

Mentos has a rough shell, When you put the mentos in the coke or sprite the mentos reacts with the coke and makes carbon dioxide bubbles and the rising bubbles react with the carbon dioxide  still in the bottle and that creates more carbon dioxide and that causes the eruption.
