refrigerator oddities

[darkoshi]

An unopened bag of chocolate chips which I had placed in my fridge several weeks ago has expanded as if inflated with gas.



This has never before happened with any other bags of chocolate chips.

A can of soda water did however expand yesterday... I assume it got too cold and partially froze. Why would being too cold make a bag of chocolate expand, though?

The bag remains inflated even after having taken it out of the fridge. I shall open the bag to see what lies inside...

Looks like chocolate. Tastes like chocolate.

????Condensation happens when a gaseous substance (air) is cooled sufficiently to revert it back into a liquid state and then the condensation expands the bag????

I don't think that condensation would cause expansion of volume. I suppose if the outside air pressure dropped, that could explain it... but I don't understand why the bag remained puffed even after leaving it outside for a while. Maybe the chocolate itself gave off some kind of gas? Beats me.
