  Without that air cushion your chips get smashed into a million pieces

    Also that air is mostly nitrogen gas to keep the chips fresh for longer.

      It’s not the nitrogen that keeps them fresh, it’s the lack of oxygen. So that aspect doesn’t affect how much “air” is in a bag.

    Do people who argue, that a bag of chips is mostly air, also think, that more soda cans would fit on a shelf if the fans were cubical?

      Probable. People are quite dumb. Anyone that works with the public can attest to that.

    Nobody is arguing it doesn’t need air. (or nitrogen)

    Those chips definitely do not need as much air as Lays is giving them. They could easily fill the bag to 80% and still have uncrunched chips, instead of the 50% they have now.

    They just lower the contents while keeping the price the same to maximize profits. But most people don’t notice because the bag is just filled with more nitrogen.

    Oh so thats why every other chips brand also fills their bags with air/gas /s

  • JcbAzPx@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Okay, but they could still add more than one chip per bag.

    That’s exactly what big potato chip wants you to think

    I’m still surprised that people bought that bullshit of a reason

  In the rest of the world, we have air cushions too in our chip bags.

  They don’t need to be 75% of the volume to work.

  It’s so the water doesn’t get all crunched up in shipping

    Pringles has far fewer crushed chips and half the can isn’t full of air.

  The glass is oversized.

  Tangential, I got a new stuck off deodorant last week and it’s like half hollow. Fuck you Unilever.

  source
• Newsteinleo@infosec.pub ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I will argue that the glass being half empty can be an optimistic view. The empty space is an opportunity to fill the glass with something of my choice. For example I could fill the remaining half with orange juice concentrate to now have a full glass of orange juice.

  looks nervous well, you see… ummmm… if we put more water in it, it would splash out and ruin the product

  No you are wrong for lays to consider glass as full water has to be visible through microscope
