Best Answer

It "pops" only if there is a pressure difference between the inside of the container and the air pressure surrounding it.

Soda tends to have a higher pressure (carbonic acid),

many foods are packed so that they have a partial vacuum in the can or bottle.

Note that bacteria usually form gasses during metabolism, thus a contaminated can would lose it's partial vacuum.
