Answer 3

I'm not sure anyone actually knows why.  It's just a freaky chemical reaction.  I know the spurts can rise many feet in the air.  Myth Busters did a special on it and proved it true and I believe the highest the soda went was 25 feet.

Answer 4

it doesn't literally explode, but it does geyser out of the bottle.

Answer 5

Basically, you are witnessing the Surface Effect.  Carbon Dioxide forms bubbles.  Diet Coke has more carbon dioxide than other regular sodas.  The surface of the "mento" is jagged and filled with nooks and crannies.  The Carbon Dioxide finds all of these holes and fills them with bubbles.  Since the Mentos are heavy, they drop to the bottom of the bottle, forming bubbles all the way down.  This is what causes the fast and furious explosion out of the top of the Diet Coke bottle

Answer 6

For the love of God, did you even look for an answer to this first?  This has been asked a zillion times.
