You’ve never had a mtn dew or sprite explode (fizz over) on you after shaking it?

Others in the comments are mentioning how some chemicals alter the surface tension which I don’t know much about so I’m not sure how much of an effect this has, but I have definitely had both Sprite and Mtn Dew explode (fizz over) on me if I shake or drop the bottle or can before opening it.
