Cans of soda are pressurized.
Take a hot can of coke and shake it up real good, then open it.
That's what would happen on the space shuttle. I came down here in case you do it.
If you were in outer space without a pressurized space suit, you'd be dead before you could do anything.

The fizz comes out the opening wherever the opening is pointed since even in zero gravity the pressured CO2 follows the path of least resistance. It then comes out in a straight line and continues in this path until some other force acts upon it. Remember Newtons first law of motion that says an object at rest tends to remain at rest, and an object in motion tends to continue in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.

The 7up would need to have much less pressure in it than here on earth as the pressure was at one time about 4 lb/sq in. I think it has been increased to about 6lb. /sq in. It would be very dangerous to blow 7up all over everything. Might short out your control system . I have Sean an astronaut squeezing water out of a tube like tooth past.

The cans are natuly pumped with more CO2 than they can hold so the fizz is the release of the extra CO2. So there would still be that fizz in space.
