Howdy all,
Hope this is the right flair.
Yesterday I discovered one of our glass Tupperware containers in the hatch of my wife’s car and the lid is sucked in on itself.
The lid has four clips that snap under the lip of the glass and it’s air tight I would assume. It has remnants of her buffalo chicken chili in it. That has dairy in it.
It’s also been relatively warm here until yesterday when I discovered it. It was 15 degrees F difference.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

If the lid was put on with say hot food. Like from a microwave. The air inside gradually cools, as it does it takes up less volume, as cool air is less dense.
This creates a vacuum that can “suck” the container lid closed.
