About it
A soda can holds a drink with carbon dioxide gas dissolved in it under pressure. Shaking the can makes lots of tiny bubbles, and when the ring pull opens it the pressure drops at once, so the gas rushes out of the drink and carries foam with it.
This can is made from a detailed 3D model of a real one, with a plain orange label. Tap it and it shakes, the ring pull levers up with a crack, and a jet of foam sprays out while drops spatter around it, then the suds spill over the rim and run down the can before they fade, and the tab folds back.
