Ok soda pop explodes in the freezer due to 2 symbiotic factors:

1) soda pop is made from around 98% water and water has a special characterstic in that it will expand when cooled most other compounds contract when cooled and changing state to a solid it becomes less dense (opposite of most other compounds) that's why ice floats in water.

2) the CO2 (fizz) added to soda pop is super saturated so when it is frozen the CO2 and other dissolved substances are excluded from the ice that forms forcing it to require more space in the can or bottle causing severe structural damage to the container.

That's why soda pop containers explode in the freezer but only when ice begins to form.

What causes a balloon to pop in a freezer?

When a balloon is placed in a freezer, the air inside it contracts and the balloon becomes more rigid. If the balloon is already stretched to its limit, the increased pressure from the contracting air can cause it to pop. Additionally, extreme cold temperatures can make the rubber of the balloon more brittle, increasing the likelihood of it breaking.
