The glass is full of embryo 😱

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

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

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] zout@fedia.io 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Technically, all air is mostly nitrogen gas.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 51 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

Turns out oxygen is actually really bad to have around.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] three@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 5 points 1 week 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.

[–] Chippys_mittens@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I see you're paid off by Big Chip

Big chip. Chippys mittens. Wait

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 7 points 1 week 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.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week 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 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] drath@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] CannedCairn@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Pringles has far fewer crushed chips and half the can isn't full of air. They also sit better on a shelf. Maybe Lays should check out the competition. Ahh, but then the packing would make the product look smaller. πŸ˜”

Lays has Stax...

The water just settled.

  • Lays, probably

The glass is oversized.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Newsteinleo 1 points 1 week 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.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

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