Yes. I always open them like I'm diffusing a bomb.

I live alone and one of these biscuit containers popped open inside my fridge by itself! It was pretty loud as it rattled a bunch of other glass in there, but I didn't realize what it was at first. I was sure someone banged on my window and was super paranoid all night. Scared the hell out of me lol so dumb.

My partner is, so I open them. I've found it's usually barely a light puff. Maybe it's changed over the years before I swear I remember it being a loud pop in the past.
replies:
I yell "allahu akbar" before I pop it.
replies:
I just wack it profusely on the edge of my counter (at arms distance, of course). 👀
replies:
I'm the same way though I've learned to tolerate it over the years. I just don't like to be startled, it's uncomfortable and feels like getting electrocuted.
Semi-topical rant:
I don't watch horror movies unless they're the sort that doesn't rely on jump-scares, for the same reason. Being startled is not being scared -- it's simply being alarmed. True fear for me resides in foreboding, strangeness, breakdown of reality, inexorable consuming darkness, alien minds.

Thought you guys were all talking about this kind of thing
But maybe its that Pillsbury premade dough? I tried that stuff once it was awful. What are you doing with it?
replies:
Twist the can. It won't pop.
replies:
I use to use my head to open them.
replies:
I fear the terrible food that comes out of them but not the cans themselves.
