Does the Mentos trick work with Pepsi?

Will Mentos explode in Pepsi?
You might think that there is some ingredient in a Mentos candy that causes a chemical reaction with the soda pop, like the way baking soda reacts with vinegar.

Why is Diet Coke better for Mentos?
Catalysts of a bigger reaction As to why diet sodas like Diet Coke produce such a bigger reaction, it’s because aspartame lowers the surface tension of the liquid much more than sugar or corn syrup will. Mentos are fairly dense objects and so tend to sink rapidly in the liquid.
Does Coke and Mentos work with Pepsi Max?
Not really. Mentos dropped into any carbonated soda will tend to cause a chain reaction of bubbling, which will create an overflow of foam, but in most sodas, the effect is pretty anemic. Diet Coca Cola appears to be the only soda that really causes big eruption when you add Mentos to it.
