Amazing what "exploding food" sounds like. I travel regularly to the Roaring Fork Valley for jobs in Aspen but need to return over Vail Pass to return home. Many times I will stop somewhere to get a sandwich to go for dinner when I arrive home. One particular time I happen to add a bag of chips.
Well, heading up the Pass I heard what sounded like the car that I was passing shoot my back window out! Honestly, I thought it was a gun... but it was the bag of chips letting go from the altitude pressure. I only discovered what it was when I got home to take the food from the back seat and smelled the distinct flavor of potatoe chips and knew right away what it was.
Glad to hear your "pops" were nothing major.
