I don't know about soda cans, but years ago I had a plastic coke bottle blow up. I'd made some ginger beer that I put in coke bottles but the high yeast content made me ill so I just didn't drink it and stored it for a year or two until I put it outside in the sun by the trash bins. There was a huge boom and I went outside expecting to see a niegbours house blown up by a gas explosion or something, but all the houses along the back were looking at my place. The next day I found the exploded coke bottle. It was so well made there was no real weak point so the pressure just grew and grew until it burst down one side. Interestingly the top hadn't blown off.
