  I was going to say nitrogen but didn’t want to come off as too pedantic.

  78% of the air is nitrogen. Stop being a dick.

    It’s got less oxygen and moisture in it so that bacteria doesn’t have the energy to breed and spoil the contents.

    Great, start a chip company and start filling your bags with air.

    You’ll learn quickly that there’s another predominant element in air besides nitrogen (surely it won’t matter though, it’s only 20.8%).

    They mean 100% nitrogen. If they just filled chip bags with regular air they would be more sensitive to pressure changes.
