Anyone getting screwed over with chips?

[Scoe]

It’s not to often I will buy chips when I do I get a small bag whenever I get a grinder I have been noticing the bag being half full. They seem to inflate the bag more to sell the image of the bag being 2 times bigger then whats actually in it. Anyone noticing this in general when buying food. I guess its good for me now as I really don’t need to have chips.

actually the bags are typically overinflated with a nitrogen blanket or similar (can't remember off hand which gas food services use, but it's common practice in industry) to help preserve freshness....and also to bother you

I appreciate you calling it a grinder, though...people look at me funny out here when I call it that

They are stupidly expensive too. Like 5 bucks for a box of 5 bags. Ridiculous.

But grocery store muffins are otherwise pretty gross so I'll get them occassionally

Yeah, Little Bites is dominating the muffin market, raising the price and putting less in the bags. Marlo would be proud.

Everyone knows you should buy your chips at whatifsports.com.

UConn has 4 chips but I always want more.

Does the phrase 'Sold by weight, not volume' mean anything to you?

I find if I eat chips when I'm 1/2 in the bag I get nasty acid reflux.

Need to redo the How Old Are You? poll to include a line for "I have now just realized chip bags are 50% air and I have the time and energy to express bewidlerment over it" age category.

You sir, you, should write a letter to somebody sitting in a chair in their office in some ivory tower making margins off of the air in your cheetos bag, those bastards!

Thats what you call impulse buying.

Add old women yelling too... my wife constantly complains about product downsizing for the same price. And she’s right.

The suits over at BIG CHIPS have been screwing the little guy for years. Those yacht payments don’t make themselves.

That would be mini-bites. One of the top 10 rip offs in the grocery store.

From Wikipedia:

ORIGIN OF THE BRAND NAME
(you may particularly appreciate the highlighted content below)

Reuben Mattus invented the phrase "Häagen-Dazs" in a quest for a brand name that he claimed was Danish-sounding; however the company's pronunciation of the name ignores the letters "ä" and "z"; letters like "ä" or digraphs like "zs" do not exist in Danish, but the similar words "hagen" and "das(s)" that also correspond to the company's pronunciation of its name mean "the chin" and "outhouse/toilet", respectively, in Scandinavian languages, with "das(s)" being "the" or "that" in German. According to Mattus, it was a tribute to Denmark's exemplary treatment of its Jews during the Second World War, and included an outline map of Denmark on early labels. Mattus felt that Denmark was also known for its dairy products and had a positive image in the United States.
