Almost shat my pants

"FUCK" Is what I said as I nearly shit my pants.

So I hate some of this yogurt. Which is key to the story


Like 3 days ago I ate it, but didn't finish all of it (like 2 spoons were left). And since it has a cap/cover thing, I just put it back on.

I woke up this morning and looked at my computer tower which is where I left it. It was bulging on both sides. I'm guessing carbon dioxide was being released by the fermenting yogurt.

So it is late at night 2 minutes ago, I am slowly dazing off at my computer. I hear the loudest "POP" noise in my life and scream FUCK and fall backwards off my chair, my head hitting the floor very hard, and now I have a headache.

I guess the air pressure got too high inside the container, it blew the top RIGHT OFF and soared at least a foot high.
I should throw it away immediately next time..

Compare the lid in the photo to this one. You can't see the bottom but it is just as stretched as the top.

It's probably due to Noosa using more active cultures than the average yogurt. Hence more CO2 production.
​I've actually driven past Noosa.

What would Clostridium have to do with yogurt producing excess gas?

Because that excess gas is produced by bacteria.

Clostridium isn't even one of the active cultures found in yogurt.

It's not an active culture of any food. Yet it sometimes finds itself into canned foods and other preserved foods.

​I wouldn't expect it to be the greatest producer of gas though, as it's normally only found in miniscule quantities.

Rotten passion fruit yogurt.

No, you're wrong. Contaminated canned foods are easily identified by there bloated appearance.
