Just like aerosol cans, canned beverages like sodas, beers, or sparkling waters are pressurized containers. When left in a car — especially during hot days — the liquid inside can heat up, causing the can to expand and potentially explode. Not only is this dangerous, but it can also leave you with a sticky, challenging mess to clean up.
Temperature changes can also alter the taste and carbonation of the drink. And is there anything more disappointing than popping open a can of soda and expecting a fizzy, satisfying sip, only to be met with a nasty, flat drink?
