Off topic, but I recall my avid skiing days. We would try to save a few
bucks when driving from Denver to the condo half way up the slope in
Breckenridge, CO (approx. 12,000 ft) by purchasing potato chips, Twinkies
and other "carbo loading" necessities in Denver. When we pulled them out of
the bag at the condo, the packaging had expanded like a baloonfish. No
wonder, they had been "inflated" by a 2 1/4 psi drop in air pressure.
