The loud pop of a cracked knuckle is caused by synovial fluid, the thick lubricant that surrounds every joint. When the fingers are stretched or bent backward, the bones of the joint pull apart. This creates bubbles of air in the fluid, which subsequently burstthat’s why it pops..not sure if it get you fat finger or not… but my finger have been skinny since forever… hahahaha
