Yes! It takes some practice but as a kid i managed to launch the lids off water and soda bottles that had previously been opened (more gas volume) and carried in a bag. You need to edge the cap close to the point before the gas can escape, then give it a flick so it can twist open the last bit by inertia. Apply some pressure to the plastic bottle while doing so. When it works the cap would fly off with a loud bang and the rapid change in pressure causes condensation inside the bottle, allowing you to push out clouds of vapor. I think they changed the design of the bottle at some point and this would no longer work.
