I feel like the use of air in chip bags is getting a bit excessive

    It’s called slack fill to prevent the crisps getting damaged. They assume customers can read the total grams of product they are purchasing. Better than a bag of crumbs.

    Elevation can impact the air inside the bag as well.

    Food is not packaged in air. Usually it’ll be co2 or some other gas for preservative.

    Do you want your chips to be crushed into powder when stacking for delivery? That’s why, the air is to help cushion during stacking

    The air is usually filled with nitrogen to make the chips last longer

    Now you gotta learn to could how many $ per gram are you willing to spend

    It’s wild seeing Salt &Vinegar in a blue packet. They have always been purple here.

    Not confident anyone would buy vacuum sealed potato chips.

    They are sold by weight not volume

    It’s nitrogen in the bag, to keep the chips fresh and stop them getting crushed

    Wtf is that parachuting slow fall, potato chip bags where I’m at always fall with a solid thud. 😭

  9. My first thought was; that’s to protect the chips, but when it floated to the ground I thought; that’s excessive..
    In India they have small chips packages with about 6 chips in it. So wasteful..

    What exactly is the problem though?

    Why am I not surprised with Redditors thinking this video is real, and not someone filming a resealed bag with chips removed for rage baiting? The weight is right there, on the bottom right corner – 70 grams won’t float to the floor this way.

    The real enshittification is whatever keeps happening to people’s brains from being on social media for too long.

    I know that a lot of the various air is necessary but it just fell like a feather

    Looked like that bag of chips was floating

    *Down, down, down, down, down*

    I’ll see myself out.
