Guys, I don't think it had to do with any pressure thing or squeasing:

The pitchers were open already. That indicates that either a) something inside the exploded, and blew out the pitcher or b) they were just shredded and scattered (I think b in more likely)

Hehehe, very interesting theories guys. I'm still thinking it's either the raccoons, or maybe a big bug got in and REALLY wanted out. I'd think it would be possible for a wasp or large bee to be able to get through the pitcher if it really wanted to. Didn't look like bite marks still. I'll just have to keep an eye on it.

A punk kid looks at the puffed up new pitcher and wonders if it would pop like a paper bag. Thus he gets his two hands and smacks them together with the pitcher in between. I think that's a less far fetched idea.
