WAY OT: A can of soda "exploded" on me - how did it do this?

Was there a temperature change or a large sudden G-force on the can after it was moved? I've had cans explode in a hot car, although a bit different than yours, the tab didn't open, the entire top blew off. I also only saw the aftermath.

Well - San Diego did have a heat wave condition this past week - but it couldn't have gotten above 80 deg. or so in the kitchen during the day.

Maybe the Ants moved it there. It might be a springboard for their plan to get back at you.

That's the most likely scenario, in my book. Could also be the crickets that I've been busy exterminating since I moved in a few weeks ago.

It fell off when you brought the cans to the sink.
It was sticky.
It stuck to your shoe...You don't remember walking into that room, but you probably did.

No...much too simple...I'm sticking with either "them" or the ants (or possibly the crickets)...
Either way, the can DID spontaneously pop, with enough force to remove the tab from the can. I REALLY wish I could have witnessed this happening...
