Mystery of the exploding beans can

    Strange one, I was was opening a beans can the other day and it just exploded out as soon as I went to peel back the lid resulting in a not so nice splash of crap all over the kitchen (and me!). It was fairly loud bang and pressure out of it.

    See pictures attached. Most of the beans left in the can were just mush and there was a lot of foamy type of stuff in the can. Any scientific folks have an answer for what happened?

    I did contact the company in question and just got a "sorry about that" response.

    Were you humping the tin? It looks suspiciously like there's cum in your beans.

    Some plant or organism (besides delicious beans in rich tomato sauce) got in there at the canning process. It started growing and producing carbon dioxide, which built up in the can over time. The analogy is wrong but I can't help visualising the can of beer that Bart shook up for Homer in The Simpsons - hopping and shaking, just waiting to be opened.
    Just count your lucky stars OP. If it had been a can of meatballs, someone could have been seriously injured. BTW, don't even think about scraping the beans off your walls/floor and eating them (however tempting that may be), the organism could be poisonous!

    Just looks like someone wanked into the tin.

    Though if your man-goo is foamy you probably should see a GP..................and a therapist to sort out your ****-into-bean-tins antics.

    Those beans would never win the "Most Photogenic Beans Nobel Prize", that's for sure.

    Someone obviously tried to kill you by doing a fart into the can before sealing it.:)

    I reckon a ghost got sealed in the tin by accident, and then exploded out as soon as it got the chance.

    Its probably quite angry now too, what with being sealed in a beany casket all this time. Best be careful, he might still be in your house seeking revenge.

    The beans were too warm going into the tin and cooled and contracted. When you opened it the resulting rush of air in sent the beans out. Blowing your beans like this is not recommended in the kitchen.

    Go on...... spill the beans!

    What did you do to the tin before this happened!

    Nothing, it was in the cupboard. I did notice the lid on the can was a bit bumped up before I tried to open it but just assumed it was a bit out of shape. Obviously it was the pressure building up inside of it.

    It seems from looking at the photos that you actually had the tin opened completely is that the case ? or did it go KABOOM on you when you broke the seal ?

    Kind regards
