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

Share on FacebookYeah, I eat the puffy kind, and never found that there was THAT much 'air' in the bag.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
It's difficult for the 80% of idiots in the world ... and in this comment section. LOL
