Mentos

Mentos is a popular brand of mints produced since 1932. They have a hard shell and chewy middle.
Videos of their explosive reaction with carbonated beverages, such as Diet Coke, started going viral in the mid-2000s. The experiment has been demonstrated on a number of shows, including Late Show with David Letterman and MythBusters.
