This is an odd characteristic of water and water-based drinks, that the frozen form of it is less dense than the solid form of it. If frozen water sat in water, then it would float. if any other solid form of a liquid sat in its liquid form, it would sink. Water expands when it freezes, but most elements dont. The "water" inside these cans are already pressured, so when it expands when frozen, its too much for the can to handle and it bursts.
