I was driving to work this morning and something exploded in my car. It gave me one hell of a fright - it sounded like a plastic container exploding or something electrical shorting.

After nothing more happened, and nothing seemed to have suffered in my car (apart from my heart rate) I kept going.

It wasn't until I got into work and was taking my packed lunch out of my bag to put in the fridge, that I realised that my yoghurt had popped! Burst! No electrical shorting, whew! Fortunately it had not opened immediately inside my handbag (it was inside the plastic bag that my lunch was in, inside my handbag).

I ate my mutant yoghurt as quickly as possibly - I didn't want it to burst further and try and take over the kitchen at work.

Edited: Ok. I think y'all (as sweet and as warming as it is) are possibly all a little over concerned. This was fluffy mousse yoghurt stuff, and I firmly believe that it was simply the change in temperature that caused the air inside the container to expand a little too vigorously, causing the pop - or possibly the stuff making it light and fluffy. Or both. Anyway, rest assured I wouldn't actually eat something I thought had a chance of being off - if the yoghurt had been anywhere near it, it would have gone straight to the bin.

Personally, the fact that it had exploded would have made me all leery that it was icky and not all too good for me - and I probably wouldn't have messed with trying to eat it. FOod poisoning can be nasty...

That ... didn't even occur to me :X lol! I've been very fortunate then - no sign of food poisoning yet, five hours later. (I ate at 8.30am, it's now 1.30pm)

I'll have to remember that for next time, I might not always be so lucky :|

lol, no worries. If it had been off, it wouldn't have gone anywhere near me. It really was fine.

Um, yes, I'd avoid consuming exploding yoghurt. It sounds a bit too 'light and lively' to me.

Yarha, Yoghurt on the March

Ha! lol. I can understand that, but don't worry - I assure you when I called it mutant that it was hyperbole. The yoghurt was more than fine :)

lol, it was amusing, but fortunately it was one of those new style Frousse things (the Fruche/Mousse style yoghurt that you can freeze) so it didn't explode out of the container at all!

Ah, I do. It is in the category of dairy, but in the same part as ice cream. The YUM part :X
