Nothing happened (with respect to explosions).
Do you have data points showing when soda bottles explode?


They do explode.

The question is the pressure at which they explode.

Glass bottles explode from 70 to 100psi.
Soda bottles can go way over 200 psi.

Call Coca Cola's information line 800-438-2653, 800-638-3286, or
800-888-6488 and let us know what they tell you.
