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

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 51 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] zout@fedia.io 34 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Technically, all air is mostly nitrogen gas.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 39 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, but the air inside chip bags is even more mostlier nitrogen gas

[–] three@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Taking into account diffusion through the bag, ow long is that true?

[–] ergonomic_importer@piefed.ca 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Turns out oxygen is actually really bad to have around.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

100% of humans exposed to oxygen died shortly thereafter ^(on^ ^a^ ^cosmic^ ^timescale)^

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 7 points 13 hours ago

It's actually quite corrosive. It tends to oxidize things.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 4 points 9 hours ago

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.

I see you're paid off by Big Chip

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 5 points 15 hours ago

Big chip. Chippys mittens. Wait

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] drath@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago

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