How and why would a bag of chips explode or implode as you move up in altitude. What about a bottle of soda Would it implode or explode?

As you move upward the external pressure decreases.
Thus all would try to "explode" ... but your examples would probably not
(they would resist the pressure drop).

Does the singluarity cause stars to explode?
No, quite the opposite, it would cause a star to implode.
What would happen to a plastic bottle full of air if it were taken 1000m below the surface of the ocean?
it would implode.
Why does a ketchup bottle explode in hot weather?
Heat, would cause a bottle of ketchup to explode. Though having it sit on your table in your kitchen won't get enough heat to do it. Putting the bottle in a microwave would...
What would happen if you farted sneezed burped and coughed all at the same time?
Well people say that you will explode but i doubt it
Will humans explode if they go too far underwater?
No, because the pressure pushing in from the outside would be far greater than the pressure pushing out. If anything, they would implode.
How many times did the universe implode and explode?
The answer to that is unknown. It is also not fact, yet that the universe implodes and explodes, still theory. But in my opinion to that question, I would think, it would be untraceable.
Why does a bottle of soft drink left lying in the sun explode?
It does not explode. The only reason why it might "explode" is because in the sun it would heat up and the particles would move faster causing the soda to "explode."
Why does an empty sealed bottle collapse with altitude?
Actually, an empty sealed bottle should expand slightly as altitude increases. At the altitude where the bottle is sealed, the air pressure outside the bottle is equal to the air pressure inside the bottle. When the bottle is transported to a higher altitude, the air pressure inside the bottle is greater than the air pressure outside the bottle (In other words: There are more air molecules per unit volume inside the bottle than outside). The increased air pressure inside the bottle relative to the outside pressure causes the bottle to expand slightly. An empty bottle would not collapse as altitude increases.
Will a glass bottle explode when you take it to high altitudes?
Maybe yes, maybe no. Do you mean a capped bottle or an open bottle? Small bottle or large, just how high is 'high altitude' and what type of temperature are you at? There are certainly a lot of variables to consider. If you simply took an open / empty bottle to high altitude (or even space) there is nothing inherent to the glass which would make it explode. If you sealed a bottle at sea level, (air pressure at sea level is about 15 lbs per square inch (psi) and took that into the vacuum of space, the bottle would then "feel" the 15 psi of internal pressure. Would that cause it to explode? Again, maybe yes, maybe no. Most bottles which hold carbonated beverages can hold 100psi or higher. A thick champaign bottle may hold significantly more than that, so they would be OK. However a designer perfume bottle or a twisty 'art glass' bottle which isn't designed to hold any pressure may break. Additionally because pressure is multiplied by area to get overall force, a small bottle may be OK while a large bottle may break. For a given pressure, the large bottle simply contains more force than a small bottle. Additionally, with very high altitude comes low temperatures and/or high temperature gradients (very hot in the sun, very cold in shadow). These thermal stresses may cause a liquid in the bottle to freeze and rupture the bottle, or the bottle may break from the high thermal stresses.
What would happen if two weegee stares collided?
Everyone will die, and the world will implode. But if one Weegee is unstable, both their heads will explode, in a massive and sickening mess.
If you were to take an empty bottle into spacethen screwed down the lid so that it was air tight would the bottle implode when brought back to earth?
It depends on the strength of the material the bottle is made from. If it was, for instance, a plastic soda bottle the the external air pressure would crush it. An ordinary glass bottle would be strong enough to resist the pressure.
Can you reuse dry ice?
If you mean the dry ice bomb as in putting dry ice in a bottle and sealing it, and then having it explode, then no. The bottle and the dry ice cannot be reused from the Dry Ice Bomb. The reasoning is that the Dry Ice would have already used enough of its fuel to try to explode the bottle that no fuel is left to explode another, and the bottle would be ripped in half by the Dry Ice inside, so the bottle cannot be reused.
