The mentos and coke thing is a reaction between the carbonation and the rough surface of the mentos. The water would dissolve the surface rather quickly, even in ideal scenarios, and as you melt the ice, you wouldn't be able to re-expose the surface fast enough for a meaningful reaction. Just all around an impractical plan.
If I remember right from a video back when mentos and Coke was all the rage, it wasn't just the texture of the mentos but there was also a chemical reaction in the combination of the two is what led to the violent reaction.
