I opened a new two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper in my parent's kitchen when I was in high school. It hadn't been shaken up, it was straight out of the fridge. As soon as I cracked the seal the top flew off and a geyser of soda erupted all the way to the ceiling.

Left a huge stain on the ceiling and soaked half the kitchen in sticky Dr. Pepper. That was almost 35 years ago and I don't think my parents believe to this day that my brother and I weren't horsing around. I guess it was just over pressurized from the bottling plant.

My mom did something similar to my brother when we were in our early twenties. My brother went full no-contact for a little over a year.

25 years later, I still have to reset some boundaries from time to time.

To this day I am very careful what information I give her about my work, life, health, etc. She is super nosy and just can't stand not being all up in everyone's business trying to run their lives "for their own good".
