Presumably you don't mean exploding in the sense that there's a dull
thud from the cupboard, and on investigation you find there's a tin
split down one side.

Nope, no split at all

Were they fizzy drinks?

Yup,

Opening what remains of the tin and the usual "pop" of gas comes out

what I can't understand here is why this gas isn't leaking out of whatever
hole it was that the first 50% of the fluid leaked out of, leaving the tin
limp and squishy

Is the cupboard warm?

Not especially.

Has
some fermentation taken place?

How can I possibly know?

Do the tins look swollen?

Nope

Physically no different from the others, except that they are lighter

Still have the same solidity from the tin caused by them being full of gas


Not from your
description, otherwise you'd be able to identify them immediately
without having to heft them. So internal pressure seems unlikely. I
assume that the tin has just slowly leaked;

they don't seem to slowly leak

The pool of liquid occurs very quickly

possibly a batch of tins
with faulty seams.

so why isn't this obvious after the leak?

One thing is, they are a few months out of date, but it's ridiculous to
suggest that moulded tins fail over time

Likely its such a small hole it takes considerable pressure
to get half the fluid out.

Not if they develop a tiny hole due to being stamped from a sheet.

But not as much pressure as originally I bet.

The solution is to send an unopened one to either the company or
distributor, they might thank you and send you some free ones?

well I would

were they not past their "use by" date

Better to send one of the leaked ones.

some free ones?

I'd make them replace all of them because there
is no way of knowing which ones will leak in future.
