well, you could get more chips per bag if you were willing to deal with them being crushed to powder by the negligent 17 year olds that manage to mangle merchandise as much as shelve it.
If I’m bored while picking out chips, I occasionally like to pick up and “weigh” them. It’s probably not that accurate, but it still leaves me satisfied thinking I got the heaviest bag available.
exactly what happens to pringles tubs, this should be:
14% pringles 56% air 30% assorted wrapper, salt, flavourings and degraded snack
( not going to say chip or crisp because i dont want to feed them to the trolls )
big chip . . .
Graph jam is sad. Has anybody here EVER laughed at ANY graph on this site? Or were you just waiting for more Failblog like the rest of us?
Sometimes there’s a really funny one. But then the rest are ”What you do when the remote dies.”
This bag is sold by weight, not by volume. Some settling of contents may occur during transport.
Also, there is purposely extra air in there for cushion. Otherwise all ya get is crumbs.
Needs a third layer at the bottom for “Crumbs”.
The extra air is a cushion to keep the chips whole.
still doesn’t seem to help
Actually, while some crumbing does occur in these bags, it does help. Just 20% being crumbs or 80% being crumbs makes a difference to me.
Helps with the marketing of them
When you say chips do you mean crisps?
Yes, crisps.
no we are in america they are chips ;P
Actually it’s more like only 10% chips/crisps…
Yes, I tested it… long before I read this
Soooooooo true.

This illustrates the Golden Section! For those of you who don’t know, get a copy of Donal in Mathmagicland
So it’s 62% air and 38% content? :O Haven’t figured that.

Will someone please tell me if in America you call crisps chips, what do you call chips (as in fatter version of ‘fries’)?
Depends on the shape – the two names I see most are “steak fries” for the fat ones and “waffle fries” for the round, corrugated ones.
…”fries”, mostly.
why would you call fries chips
wow this is the most acurate graph ever
The ton of air is used as a cushion to protect the chips during transport.
What I see is the bag is empty. The chips are below the bag. Problem solved
SOOOOOOO TRUE!!
Very very true. Especially with Doritos and tortilla chips (my 2 favorite kinds of chips).
@ anon: We Americans call them steak fries (from my experience anyway).
it’s sad because it’s true. :C
All u haters are stupid
graph jam are kools
-sob- SO TRUE!!
