Open the pod bay doors, Hal.

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

I smell a conspiracy here ….
student pilot forgot they had placed unwrapped teacakes above their instrument panels.
When the captain pulled an emergency depressurising switch the iconic Scottish treat erupted - leaving a sticky mess over the airmen, the instruments and cockpit canopy.
If candy melted in the sun when left above the instrument panel, you’re an idiot who might get fired for damaging the aircraft
But if you can claim it exploded through no fault of your own, youre off the hook

...what?
We’re not British enough to understand.
So I'm guessing low pressure environments like being on a plane were causing teacakes to explode but it's been solved now or something. Guess I should actually read the article
Yep, tunnoks didn't change anything but the RAF re-evaluated the ban on teacakes on planes from around 1965 after some apparently exploded. They ran more tests.
