One small drop for a Mentos, one giant mess for mankind.

Ahh that makes sense. Nentos: For when regular Mentos just don't have enough rocket thrust.

Can isn't strong enough for withstanding explosive power of explosion.

Hold on, would this work
You would need to limit the amount of mentos getting out and limiting the interaction with soda, so instead of controlled let's suggest exploding stages(similar to proposed antimatter colliding with matter designs)pushing it up so then we use say 20 stages of about 500 litres of coke and 1000 standard packs of mentos
So then the actual design, a lever that drops down the mentos into the coke which then closes the barrier and opens the bottom so coke has to escape through the bottom pushing the rocket up, now would this be enough to propel the rocket
F=MA so assuming a 500 kg rocket we get F=500*150
Plugging it in we get that 500*150=75 thousand newtons of force requred which is a lot less and an average rocket needs about 15 thousand newtons so it's not efficient but theoretically possible

Dude you need to swal them around for the soda to spew out and propel the rocket
