Today it reached 40C (104F), but was still cloudy and humid. In fact a few drops fell out of the skies a few minutes ago, which immediately vaporized upon landing on any surface. It's a hot day.
I was standing in our kitchen this afternoon sucking down a fruit smoothie when I heard a loud bang and watch liquid and debris flying out of an open shelf a few feet away. My reaction was something like "what the %#@*," which may or may not have been aloud. I inspected the mess and found a huge puddle of brown liquid and a shredded Coke can.
Clearly the can had exploded while on the shelf and sent the contents of that shelf, including 12oz of sticky liquid, flying through the kitchen. I really don't know what else to say, other than it was hell cleaning it up.
Has anyone else ever had a Coke can explode like this?

Hey, This is Juliette. One time my sister, Jenni, left an unopened coke in the car during the winter and it ended up exploding all over the passenger compartment when the liquid started to freeze and expand. Everything was very, very sticky. So, it's sort of like what happened to you, but by the exact opposite mechanism :)
What happens in the sub-tropics when your walls, table, counter, and shelves have even the slightest sugary residue?
Ants.
It's now a daily routine to find the spots that I missed in the first, second, and third cleaning by following the trail of ants.
And now they're trying to go after my precious mangoes!
NOOOOO! DEFEND THE MANGOES!!!!!!
