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

  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.

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