Actually, back to the original subject...

If I shake a can of soda and then tap the top of the can before opening
it, the soda doesn't spray out.  A friend showed this to me a few years
back and it's always worked for me.  If I wait the same amount of time
without tapping the can, the soda sprays out.  So, I've observed this
phenomenon myself.  I haven't seen an explanation for this, only
people saying it can't possibly have any effect.
