Reply to comment by The_Truthkeeper in ELI5: how did my bottle of milk explode? by SpermWhaleGodKing

What would happen if it was something stronger than a plastic bottle?

What if it was a very strong material sealing the milk in and the bacteria kept going making more and more gas? What would happen?

The pressure will keep building up until either the container gives way or the bacteria run out of sugar to eat.
