It was packaged at a lower elevation where the air pressure is higher. As you move to a higher elevation the external air pressure decreases, but the air pressure in the bag stays the same. So the bag "blows up" like a balloon because the pressure inside it much greater than the pressure outside.

Same thing happens in your ears.

Why does a bag of chips explode at 3000 meters high?

The airtight bag was sealed at a lower level. As you ascend, the air pressure becomes less outside, and the air in the bag expands. As it expands, the bag puffs up. Go too high, and the bag will pop. I have driven to the top of Mt Evans Colorado, and at 4350 meters the bag WILL pop!


Why did my bag of chips puff up in the freezer?

Your bag of chips puffed up in the freezer due to the expansion of air inside the bag as it cooled down. When the temperature drops, the air contracts, creating a vacuum effect, but if the bag is sealed tightly, the pressure difference can cause it to puff up. Additionally, any moisture present in the bag can freeze and expand, contributing to the puffed appearance.


How many square meters will a bulk bag cover?

It depends upon the volume of the bulk bag and how deep you want it covered. Divide the cubic meters in the bulk bag by the depth in meters to get your answer. For example, a bulk bag of 2 cubic meters will cover to a depth of 1 cm. 2 cubic meters / 0.01 meters depth = 200 square meters.

What does a puffed up bag of frozen vegetables mean?

A puffed-up bag of frozen vegetables typically indicates that there is excess air inside the packaging, often due to a change in temperature or pressure during storage or transportation. This can happen if the bag was not properly sealed or if it was exposed to fluctuating temperatures, causing moisture to evaporate and expand. While the vegetables may still be safe to eat, it's important to check for any signs of freezer burn or spoilage before use.
