Write a short story (less than 200 words) about a bag of chips purchased by a family on a road trip through the mountains. As the family’s car gains elevation, the air inside the bag of chips should expand until ultimately exploding.

The family had been driving for hours already, so it seemed like the perfect time to grab snacks from a convenience store before the road began winding through the mountains. Stopping at the first gas station they found, the three family members grabbed three different snacks: a donut, an apple, and a bag of chips. The member who purchased the chips wanted to wait until they were on top of the mountain to eat their snack, so they put it in their lap once everyone was back inside their car.

Continuing the drive, the road immediately shifted its aim upward as the car began climbing towards a mountain peak. The bag of chips grew stiffer and stiffer as they climbed, and the family was surprised by how large the bag had grown. Moments before arriving atop the mountain peak, a loud bang rang out from inside the car. Looking down, the family could see the bag of chips had exploded and thrown fried potato slices all around the cabin of the vehicle.

The family shared a laugh while taking in the mountain view and eating loose potato chips found scattered around the car.
