My partner just brought me three pop-open dough cans. They absolutely cannot stand the surprise from opening them. Basically the same hatred for the Jack-in-the-box toys. It’s such a strange thing to me that I’ll never understand.

I live alone and one of these biscuit containers popped open inside my fridge by itself! It was pretty loud as it rattled a bunch of other glass in there, but I didn’t realize what it was at first. I was sure someone banged on my window and was super paranoid all night. Scared the hell out of me lol so dumb.
When quite young, I had a book of urban legends. Among them was one where circumstances forced a woman to buy groceries in a neighborhood full of people who frightened her. The air conditioner in her car was broken, but she was so afraid of being approached that she kept her windows rolled up tight.
Suddenly, she heard a loud pop and felt a spray of wetness from the back of her head. She was absolutely convinced she’d been shot and changed her route to head immediately to the nearest hospital, even calling them on the way to let them know to expect a GSW.
When she arrived, she found a very concerned medical crew waiting for her. They spent a few minutes examining her, then relaxed, laughing. Frustrated, she asked what was so funny.
According to the urban legend, she had not, in fact, been shot. Instead, with her windows up and AC out, the heat inside the car had grown enough to burst one of these biscuit containers, covering her hair in dough.
Mythbusters covered this, and it was plausible!
I can’t remember what they said about the actual woman, but the can placed in Adam’s car popped :D
Yeah, I believe that; any pressurized, sealed containers will pop if heated enough. Those dough cans don’t have very thick walls, either.
Yep. The ‘heated enough’ was the main thing they tested for. They had the car in a garage and pointed heaters at it to find out if the can would pop at a realistic temperature for a car on a sunny day :)
It doesnt even need to be heated, ive have them pop in the refrigerator.
Thanks for the edification!
