Which does it work better with? Cold Soda? Or Warm Soda?
I just did a test on that particular topic 25 minutes ago!
(note: all tests were done with 2-liter diet Coke bottles and 3 Mentos in each bottle.)
And the results are:

Cold Coke/warm Mentos
Fountain height: 3 inches
Duration: 1.5 seconds


Warm Coke/cold Mentos
Fountain height: 9 feet
Duration: 2.5 seconds


Warm Coke/warm Mentos
Fountain height: 9 feet
Duration: 3 seconds

As you can see, cold Coke=dud.
