I mean exploding just means that it wasn't done fermenting and continued to do so in the can. Improper storage could also contribute (very warm conditions for example). The seals popped, that's all.
- Yep, many people in the homebrewing community say that you aren't really a home brewer until you've mopped your ceiling.
  
  (Don't experiment with brettanomyces. Just don't)
- I don't know if there's supposed to be any active fermentation in these drinks, but otherwise generally speaking this sounds about right
  “A single batch of Armada Cannabis Co. Cannabis Apple Cider (20mg THC) is being recalled because the products were not compliantly produced and there have been reports of cans swelling and bursting,” a Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) recall notice said. “This is attributable to the lack of a necessary ingredient to ensure shelf stability.”
  “We received two reports, both from retailers, zero from consumers,” said CRA spokesman David Harns.
  I don't know what you'd call it other than "exploding," though. If people read that and assume these cans are, like, destroying whole stores in fireballs and not just spraying a little fizzy drink on a grocery store shelf I think that's on the reader more than the headline writer.

  I mean…

  It’s clearly titled as click bait since they use more accurate terms in the article body.
'Exploding weed drinks' is not something I had on my 2023 calendar.
- I mean, with a name like Armada Cannabis we probably should have seen this coming
I've had enough bong water to know this would taste like shit
- I actually quite like infused drinks. They make for an interesting flavor and the high tends to be really nice
Hell yeah
