17	A classic scenario involving soda pops, or other carbonated drinks. Someone purposely or accidentally shakes the yet unopened can (or bottle), resulting in the unlucky person opening the can getting a shower of soda sprayed into their face.
18
19	TruthInTelevision: carbonated drinks are made by forcing carbon dioxide gas into a beverage under pressure. In an unopened bottle, there is an equilibrium between the carbon dioxide that has been dissolved into the liquid and the gas floating at the very top of the bottle. Opening the bottle results in a bit of fizzing as the pressure that has been keeping the gas dissolved is released. If the bottle is shaken however, some of the carbon dioxide that has been floating at the top of the bottle gets suspended in the liquid. This extra carbonation stays in larger (though not necessarily visible) bubbles than the already-dissolved carbonation. As soon as someone opens the bottle at this point, the large bubbles will rise very quickly to the liquid's surface, resulting in the soda shower.
20
21	However, as with many things fiction tends to exaggerate the power of the exploding suds. In extreme cases, characters may even weaponize a shaken soda can for [[ImprovisedJetPack propulsion]] or [[ImprovisedWeapon attacking]].
22
23	Compare UnscrewedSaltShaker, another meal-related prank, and SodaCandySplosion, a similarly eruptive reaction involving soft drinks.

45	** In one comic, dad sends Boule and Bill to get him new bottles of beer, but realized too late he should have instructed Boule not to let Bill carry the bag with the bottles.

When dad opens a bottle, the contents get sprayed into his face, much to Bill's amusement and the annoyance of Boule (who now knows why Bill was so determined to carry the bottles).
46	** In another, dad asks Boule to get him a bottle of soda from the fridge. Boule is listing to his portable radio, and dancing along with the music all the way from the fridge to dad's room, so by the time he gets there the bottle has inadvertently been shaken to the point dad gets sprayed as soon as he opens it.

70	[[/folder]]

72	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]

74	* ''Film/SupermanTheMovie''. When Lois Lane first meets Clark Kent, she grabs a bottle of carbonated liquid that he's trying to open, bangs it against a table several times, and hands it back to him.

75	-->'''Lois Lane:''' Gosh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to shake it up like that!\
76	'''Clark Kent:''' Oh, of course not, Lois. I mean, why would anyone want to make a total stranger look like a fool?

83	* In ''Literature/NightWatchDiscworld'', Vimes mentions the "ginger-beer trick" as a way of coercing prisoners to talk--you shake up the bottle of ginger-beer and stick it up their nose.

84	* One of the magic tricks described in ''Creator/PennAndTeller Play With Their Food'' has the magician openly shake up one of two cans of soda, open the shaken can themself with no explosive result, and then make the '''unshaken''' can blow up all over their volunteer.

86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
89	* Played with on ''Series/BetterCallSaul'', as Howard Hamlin demonstrates to an HHM intern how to open a shaken can of soda so as to avoid the usual explosive results (place it on a flat surface and rotate it to get the bubbles to cling to the sides of the can). He says he learned the trick from Chuck, who did it out of habit every time he opened a soda can. Given [[Characters/BreakingBadSaulGoodman who his brother is]], it's not hard to imagine why he'd have such a habit.
90	* Sergeant Micklin of the ''Series/BlackSheepSquadron'' has a RunningGag about getting canned beer delivered to Rabaul during wartime. Micklin would always state, "I don't want my beer all shook up." Of course, the beer has been handled indelicately in transit, so Micklin gets spray and foam when his can is opened. This usually led to a frightened underling getting chased by one angry mechanic.
91	* ''Series/TheCosbyShow'': in one episode, Cliff gets a couple of cans of soda for himself and Claire, and shakes up the one he intended to give to Claire. But when he gets to the table, he realizes that he mixed them up, takes them back to the refrigerator and exchanges them for two unshaken cans. Then Denise goes to the fridge and grabs a can. Guess which one she picks.
92	* In the PictureDay episode of ''Series/HankZipzer'', Hank attempts to take revenge on [=McKelty=] by taking a can of soda from [=McKelty=]'s bag, shaking it, and putting it back in the bag.

94	* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'': As Al mentions he'd sell his soul for the Super Bowl, the Devil appears to make a deal, [[TimeStandsStill freezing everyone but Al in time]] to negotiate in privacy. Just before the Devil unfreezes time, Al [[TimeFreezeTrollingSpree takes the beer can from Jeff's hand]], shakes it, and puts it back in his hands.
95	* ''Series/TheProfessionals''. In "Hijack", Lewis Collins appears to have been the victim of an on-set practical joke when he opens a can of soda and it sprays himself and the hotel waiter. As often with this series [[ThrowItIn the scene is left in]] instead of being consigned to a blooper reel.
96	* ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'': In "Mysterious Stranger", a thief has stolen Mr. Conductor's sketchpad, Stacy Jones' cap, and Schemer's comb. When Schemer finds out about the thief, his plan is to shake up a can of soda and spray it in its face to confuse it long enough for him to trap it in a net before calling the authorities. When Schemer demonstrates it to Dan, Becky, and Kara, he shakes the can up and opens it, causing it to spray him in the face.
97	* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'': During the game "Helping Hands", if there is ''anything'' carbonated on the table while Colin acts like Ryan's arms, expect Colin to pick it up and wave it around (often forcing Ryan to energetically or angrily holler at the other player). Colin then tends to open the item in the other player's or Ryan's face while being mostly safe from the results since Ryan is taller than him.
98	* ''Series/ZekeAndLuther'': In the episode "I, Skatebot", we learn that the titular duo has a soda can that they have been tumbling for years to open on a special event. They are forced to use it to stop an out of control robot. When opened, the can [[ExplosiveResults explodes like a bomb]] and obliterates the robot.

101	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
102	* In ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'', grenades can be hard to come by for the low-ranking PlayerCharacters and enemy {{Mooks}}. There is a suitable replacement, however, Bouncy Bubble Beverage. The soda is so heavily carbonated that by shaking and throwing a can or bottle of it, the explosion is comparable to a grenade, complete with shrapnel. And, because B3 isn't considered a weapon, it's widely available to everyone.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Video Games]]
106	* ''Videogame/GetAmped'': one of the accessories is a big soda can the user carries on their back. The gimmick of this accessory is that, as the user runs, the soda can will build up fizz; 3 of its special attacks will become stronger the more fizz it has built up: either firing a powerful burst of soda out of the can, or using the burst of soda as a propeller to rocket towards the ground.
107	* ''Videogame/KirbyStarAllies'': Francisca has a water gun shaped like a soda bottle. She would shake it before firing a continuous stream of water.
108	* One of the more (but not the most) obscure puzzles in ''VideoGame/TheLongestJourney'' requires you to bypass a police patrolman with a dry throat by purchasing a carbonated drink, taking a subway across the entire town, putting the can into an old industrial paint shaker machine, then bringing it all the way back to the policeman. The moment he opens it, the drink sprays over his PoweredArmor, immediately short-circuiting it and forcing him to retreat to the precinct to get it fixed.
109	* ''VideoGame/MarioParty8'': The minigame "Shake It Up" has the players shake soda cans for a set amount of time, and whoever's can produces the highest geyser when it's opened is deemed the winner.
110	* In ''VideoGame/SonicShuffle'', the "Sonicola" mini-game involves Dr. Eggman [[EvilIsPetty shaking up a can of soda and hiding it in a vending machine]], then hiding behind a bush when Sonic and his friends come to it. There are four players, but five cans of soda, meaning either one player will be unlucky enough to take the shaken can and get squirted by it, or all four players will get non-shaken cans and Eggman's plan will be foiled.
111	* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark: Chef's Luv Shack'', the "Soda Shake" mini-game involves Chef shaking up one of four identical cans of soda, then he [[ShellGame moves the cans around]]. If you pick the shaken can, it squirts in your face and you get a bonus for picking it.
112	* The 4.1.0 update to ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' introduced a new sub weapon called the Fizzy Bomb, a mix between a soda can and a hand grenade that can be shaken by movement to increase how many times it explodes.
113	* ''VideoGame/{{Tapper}}'': Like its original Budweiser variant, the family-friendly ''Root Beer Tapper'' has a bonus game where the bartender plays a ShellGame with a bandit, using six cans of the beverage; the idea is to pick the one can the bandit did not shake to win a bonus. Choosing any one of the five cans that the bandit shakes up will invoke the trope's outcome (a beverage shower), along with the correct can highlighted.

115
116	[[folder:Web Animation]]
117	* In ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' episode Water Way To Go, Pop and Cub go to the seaside with some snacks, including a soda can, but in the process, Pop accidentally drops the box of snacks down some steps, shaking the can up. As such, when Pop goes to open it for Cub, it launches into his face like a mallet, knocking him out and badly bruising him.
118	* Double subverted in ''WebAnimation/TheLazerCollection 2'': one guy is shaking up a can of soda, and the other guy is worried it will explode. The guy holding the can give it a quick flick and opens it, telling the other guy top to relax... then gets Lasered.
119	* In Quake's episode of ''WebAnimation/MarvelRisingUltimateComics'', she uses her quake powers to discreetly shake Dugan's soda as he eats lunch, and it goes off in his face offscreen. At the end of the episode, she also does this prank to Iron Man. He complains that his armor will be sticky for weeks.

122	[[folder:Web Comics]]
123	* In one ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' Q&A strip Chika opens a can of shrink soda which [[https://egscomics.com/comic/2010-02-09 sprays all over Lisa]].
124	-->'''Chika:''' You didn't happen to ... ''inadvertently'' shake the case while getting it out of the cabinet, did you?\
125	'''Lisa:''' Well, if you want to get technical about how ''intentional'' it was, and my assuming you would tilt the can towards ''yourself''...
126	* In ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'', Aggie pulls this prank on Penny by having Daphne distract Penny just as she's bought a can of soda from a school vending machine, then shaking the can so that Penny stains her designer clothes when she opens it. In response, Penny devises a number of humiliating {{Revenge}} schemes, none of which she gets the opportunity to launch.

138	-->'''Raj:''' Bad news, we are all out of Diet Petrol.
139	* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode "Operation: P.O.P", this is how Numbuh 2 defeats Fizz. After Fizz dons a root beer powered battlesuit and incapacitates all the team except Numbuh 2, Numbuh 2 starts messing with the lever to the ConveyorBeltODoom that Fizz is on, causing him to be shook back and forth. This causes the soda in Fizz's suit to build up pressure, resulting in Fizz's armor exploding.
140	* In the ''WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace'' episode, "A Visitor from Outer Space", Dennis befriends an alien named Randar. Dennis takes Randar to his refrigerator for a snack, but all he finds are [[StockYuck vegetables]] and cans of root beer. He gives a can of root beer to Randar, who shakes it up, causing it to spray him in the face.
141	* In the ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'' cartoon "Bee at the Beach", Donald traps a bee inside his soda bottle. The bee bangs on the glass and sees how the bubbles form when the bottle shakes, so he stirs the soda with his stinger until the bubbles build up and pop the cap off, freeing him.
142	* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' has the episode "Ed N Seek" in which the Eds, after being able to hide in a game of hide-n-seek, pick the inside of the bush as a hiding spot, where they have all kinds of snacks, including soda pop, which the Eds use to spray each other in the faces after shaking up the cans. Of course, Ed ends up going overboard and sends the trio flying about twenty feet in the air right before they crash back down.
143	* In ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', one of the short "Garfield Quickies" that is shown between episodes is an adaptation of [[https://d1ejxu6vysztl5.cloudfront.net/comics/garfield/1990/1990-12-02.gif?v=1.1 this]] ''Garfield'' strip.

The robot refuses to alter course and can electrify itself to prevent anyone else from displacing it. Baloo smartly weaponizes a bottle of soda pop by shaking it vigorously, then aiming the spray at the robot. All that sticky fluid [[NoWaterProofingInTheFuture shorts out the robot's electrics]], leaving it inert. Baloo then takes control and outflies the pirates to safety.
156	* An accidental version occurs in the short, "Cross-Country Kitty" from the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode, "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E13FurrballFollies Furrball Follies]]".
