Do you think applesauce cups would explode in an airplane? - The DIS Discussion Forums

JenniK1135 · 10-06-2009, 03:25 PM

I'm bringing the snacks with us that I can, and I have lots of granola bars, fruit chips, etc. But my kids love applesauce, so I was going to pack that in the bag too, until it occurred to me that the air pressure might make them explode. I had that happen with a bag of Utz Crap Chips for my brothers, and it was ugly in that suitcase!

Utz makes Crap chips? I guess that would be ugly....

I'm no expert by any means but I would think that applesauce shouldn't explode, just to make certain though I would put them in a zip lock bag so if they do no damage should be done to anything around them.

I don't know about applesauce cups, but it is a good idea to bring them if you can. If I have something that I think might explode/leak in my suitcase on an airplane, I always put it in a ziplock bag or a plastic shopping bag. Then the mess is at least contained. I will be interested to hear what you find out about this.

Ours didn't when we flew 2 months ago. It was a short flight if that matters.

Applesauce is a sidedish for just about every Disney CS kid's meal. I would probably just get it there rather than risk the mess.

BTW - You cannot bring it as a carry on if you decide to take applesauce with you unless they are in packages that are under 3.4 fl. oz. and fit in one quart-size Ziploc bag.

We took applesauce and pudding cups on our June flight and they didn't explode. We double-Ziploc bagged them, just in case...

I have a weird sense of humor, but this thread title made me laugh!

I'm envisioning applesauce cups being the next terrorist weapon smuggled onto airplanes for devious purposes...

Applesauce would qualify as a liquid and you'd need to follow the TSA guidelines for carrying on liquids.

JenniK1135 · 10-06-2009, 07:17 PM

Oy, can you tell I have a cold? That would be Utz CRAB chips!

We're planning on checking the snack suitcase. We're flying Southwest so # of bags isn't a concern at all.And it will be nice to have an empty one to bring home souvenirs in.

I bring applesauce cups every trip and have for the last seven years. Never a problem and we have a 3 hour flight. I do put them in freezer ziplocs, just in case. I did once have problems with a couple of small juice boxes leaking, but once again had them in ziploc bags, so the mess was contained.

I thought you meant Crab, but Crap is soooo much funnier!

RadioFanatic · 10-07-2009, 08:08 AM

I never even thought about that and brought them with us last week on the plane with no issues.

Green Tea · 10-07-2009, 08:43 AM

Exploding crap in a suitcase is always a bad thing: I hate it when that happens. But I think the applesauce would be fine. I wouldn't worry about exploding but the foil could pierce really easily. I'd put them into a box to keep that from happening.

I took applesauce cups in Aug on my trip put them in the luggage and they were fine never crushed or exploded during the flight.
