I think what happens is that during shipping they stack these things really high and the bottom ones get compressed. Another way is the drill a small hole to let the air in, but then your bucket is no longer water tight.

I had a coworker stab himself between the eyes with a screwdriver while trying to open a paint can lid.
He drilled his hand too, but that was an unrelated fail.
