Why Diet Coke Loves Mentos

Here's a story that I read:




Take a bottle of Diet Coke.  Open.  Add Mentos.  Duck. Big fountains — they make them larger in the video by re-capping the bottles and allowing the foam to shoot out of a pin-sized hole in the lid.  But why do the Diet Coke and Mentos “react” in the first place?
