Diet Pepsi cans exploded in refrigerator.

So all things in the refrigerator were messed up.

When our family heard that sound, it seemed like sound from gun shot. So I tried to figure out what's happened.

After that I looked at outside the house through window.

And then I opened the refrigerator accidentally, I found that cola ice flakes are spread out over the inside of refrigerator.

The temperature of refrigerator was stable.

I don't understand what was going on.

Can explosion?

I ask response to pepsi about this happening.

I usually enjoy the diet pepsi.

Does it happen a lot?

I never enjoy again pepsi.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $1000.

Location: Madison, Wisconsin

My Coke Zero cans are exploding, too... right next to cans of regular Coke and those cans were chilled, but not frozen.

I turned the temperature up just to where my milk would not spoil and the Coke Zero cans still exploded. It did not matter what shelf I had them on either... I come to the fridge, see a mess inside and a blown open can of Coke Zero - and the non-diet Coke cans were just fine. There has got to be something in the diet colas (both Pepsi and Coke) that lowers their temperature within the cans.

I have also read of people having diet soda 2-liter bottles exploding. Those destroyed the refrigerators as if a hand grenade went off - the door blasted open and the bottle fragment halfway across the person's garage! It's got to be the non-sugar ingredient that soda companies use.

I contacted Coca~Cola today and am waiting on their answer. In three months I have had a dozen cans of Coke Zero explode.

Same thing just happened to us. One can of Diet Pepsi exploded whilst the other 6 cans of sodas (coke, sprite, Mug) were fine.

An adjacent can of Diet Pepsi was frozen though not exploded despite it has only been in fridge, not the freezer. Odd but true.

I meant diet Lime Pepsi.

Year old diet like Pepsi did this in my pantry. No way it was too cold.

Paranormal experience is all

Diet soda will kill you. You are lucky you did not drink it.

Guest

Im guessing this was in the back where it got too cold and frozen or you let the cans get too hot before you put them in. Either way you get soap, water, and a rag and clean up the fridge and its over with.

Guest

There's no way this cause you to lose 1000$ lol

Guest

You ever heard of expanding liquids? Jesus lady, you sound idiotic.

Guest

Did you have it in the very back of your fridge? Things sometimes freeze if they are in the back of the fridge.

When things freeze they expand which can cause then to explode. It happens.

No one's fault. No reason to be angry at Pepsi.

Guest

Wow, you ain't smart fro freezing your sodas but you got very expensive groceries! $1,000 in losses from a Pepsi can in the fridge? I needs to be gettin' some of them eats!

Guest

Who are you mad at? Diet Pepsi?

Guess what: soda's explode when you put them in freezing temperatures.

You obviously put it in the freezer, since you even mentioned there was soda/ice flakes everywhere. (lol)

Nope - the same thing happened to my Coke Zero cans. Right next to regular Coke and my milk.

Only the Coke Zero exploded. I adjusted the temperature so it would not be so cold, they continue to explode about once per month. It doesn't matter what shelf they are on or how far back or forward they are... and this is a designated refrigerator only (no freezer section - think "mini-fridge").

I had them in the garage refrigerator when most exploded and they destroyed that refrigerator. Brought them into the household refrigerator and in the regular fridge they explode... in the mini-fridge they explode... and all the other cans of non-diet drinks were fine.

The milk was fine, the juice was fine... just the diet soft drinks exploded. Oh... I am a retired HVAC manufacturer.

I know how refrigeration works. Whatever is causing these diet sodas to explode is NOT the refrigeration unit, nor misplacing them in the freezer.

Yes, ice crystal have formed inside some of the non-exploded cans inside the refrigerator with the setting high enough to keep the milk cold, but far from freezing temps. There has to be an ingredient that lowers the temperature of the diet soft drinks.
