  • The Myth - A woman was struck in the head with an exploding tin of biscuit dough, believing that she was in fact struck by a bullet.
  • Verdict - Plausible
  • Notes - The dough can blow out of many types of biscuit cans at a car's internal temperature of 150 °F (66 °C) with enough force to potentially strike the driver of the car in the back of the head, and has a texture and consistency when thawed that can be mistaken for brain matter by the average person. However, no one can actually verify the incident actually occurred. This myth has inspired two spin-off myths: Aerosol Bazooka and Biscuit Bazooka Spinoff.

The original myth featured in the second pilot episode.
