Probably the sugar. Sugar decarbonates coke (and other sodas) pretty quickly. Add to that a container under pressure with only a small hole and you get an explosive reaction.

That's still not a "chemical reaction" though. It's just a result of the rough texture of the sugar, same as the mentos.

Soda is full of sugar, so I don't think that's it.

Not trying to argue, but I remember doing this as a kid, and solidly remember that diet sodas worked WAY better than full sugar varieties

Yeah, but it works. When she was little, my sister did it all the time because she loved soda, but only without the carbon.
