After Seeing How Much ‘Air’ Different Chips Brands Have You’ll Probably Never Buy Some Brands Again

Many of us have eagerly ripped open a bag of our favorite chips, only to be struck with a tragic mix of disappoinment and resentment after it becomes clear that the promised bounty of vaguely potato-based goodness is nothing but a few sad looking shards clustered pathetically at the bottom of the bag.

Well Ross Hudgens, founder of content marketing company Siege Media, is here to save the day. Using a water displacement method to ensure accurate results, Ross presented his findings for Kitchen Cabinet Kings, whose post soon went viral as people were shocked, amused and thankful for this most interesting and relevant information.

Armed with this knowledge, consumers now know which brands offer the best bang for their buck, and can get rid of that chip on their shoulder. Scroll down to check it out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    Yeah, I eat the puffy kind, and never found that there was THAT much 'air' in the bag.

    That "air" is a necessity. It's a mixture of nitrogen and argon, which keeps chips crispy.

    It’s also intended to provide “fluff” so the chips don’t get crushed during shipping

    Or the weight you feel in your hands, depending on what you're buying.

    And I've never opened a Pringles can that didn't have the chips all the way to the top so that graphic is misleading. Are they measuring the air that is around the chips in the tube? As in, if you crush all the chips into meal then you'd have this much air in there? Idiotic.

    People always think they're getting "ripped off," but if the chips came crushed, there'd be widespread upset.

    This is why almost every grocery store has a little tag that shows everyone just how much is the cost per ounce, of what you are thinking of purchasing. Also, "Net Weight" of the product is almost always located on the bottom left of the front of the package. And if that doesn't do it for you, you can always take the cost and divide it by the net weight, by taking out your smart phone and getting it to do the math for you. "Elementary My Dear Watson".

    Why must we make issue out of things that aren't things. The bag clearly shows the OZ of chips. Do you want a bag of chip crumbles? I don't. Stop the nonesense.

    Sold by weight, not volume. What's so difficult to understand??
