A water bottle at 14,000 feet, 9,000 feet, and 1,000 feet being crushed due to increasing atmospheric pressure.

Your airplane is generally pressurized to an equivalent of around 7,000 ft.

As one of the prople sitting up front and controlling it I can tell you my airplane is regularly pressurized to a 10,000' cabin altitude. No issues with any of my stuff from sea level. You can get the balloon or crushed effect seen in the original picture though

I think OP’s issue was taking the items to 10,000 ft, not necessarily the 4,000 ft. difference.

OP specifically stated shopping at 7k and taking it to 10k. That's a 3k altitude differential which would cause the issue.

In my experience shopping and consuming at 10k nothing I bought exploded. Shopping/living at 7k and consuming at 12k no issue. Shopping at 6.5k and consuming at 11k no issue. Shopping at 5k and consuming at 14k no issue. And now at sea level consuming at 10k no issue.

The only thing which may "explode" is a tube (say of sunscreen) that you've allowed an excess of air to enter. If you've squeezed it more flat (like a tube of toothpaste) it won't. Everything else will get puffy like chip bags but they won't explode on you or have lids pop off.
