I heard about this on NPR, I have yet to attempt it though.

Since I started seeing this stunt on tv I began wondering if someone found out about this because they had tried to drink some diet soda while they had a Mento in their mouth.
From what they were doing on David Letterman's show the fountain effect seems to be stronger if the mentos are placed in a 2 liter bottle right after it's opened.

I take it they will try to make one something around 6 stories into the air?
does the effect get more if you put more menthos into the bottle?

This has been mentioned and shown here at least a dozen times, is all over You Tube and has even been on Letterman.
Sorry, but this is redundant. Locked.
