I saw a mythbusters episode on that phenomenon just recently. The liquid is at or below freezing. A disturbance of the liquid causes ice crystals to form, which cause more ice crystals to form in a cascading effect.

The short answer is your fridge is set too cold.

that succinctly sums it up.

It is the same frig,but never done that before.Thought it might have something to do with the carbonated water,but I don't know that much about science. #-o

Not carbonated water. Sugar. It's a freezing point depressor (anti-freeze), like alcohol.

Your soft drink was probably at freezing temperature, and just on the verge of solidifying, until you set it off by either opening the bottle or pouring it.

Some spots in your fridge are colder than others. I've seen items freeze in the fridge, because they were placed right next to the vent that blows cold air from the freezer.
