Coke Explosion!

I moved the beverages in my refrigerator to the top shelf, since things up there get half-frozen. Better to have ice-cold beer and soda than slushy milk. Until the day I came good to find sticky brown goo splattered all over the walls, ceiling, and shelves of my refrigerator. I have heard that soda cans would explode in the freezer, so I never put them in there. For the curious, the top of the frozen can (only 1 of 12 blew up) is actually not part of the can itself, although it looks that way. I know this since I found it on the other side of the fridge, and from the clean edges on both can and lid it was easy to see the top was forced straight up and off. The mess was particularly disenheartening since I just took all the shelves and drawers out for a deep cleaning a few days before.
