ive never had an experience of doritos not being seasoned to death - which i personally love so i also go with those rather often. im a sour cream & onion man. yourself?
😉😊😍
Neither of those factors prove much of relevance to the bag size. The greasy and grainy feeling of a potato chip only proves that two of the ingredients are the oil and salt granuals that make them so unhealthhy to eat. Also, the whole point of any food preservation measure is that the flavor of the food should remain or less the same as when it was freshly made for longer than it would be otherwise. The whole point of using pure nitrogen is that it reacts less with the food than atmospheric gas containing oxygen. Fresh potato chips are going to taste like fresh potato chips, and the stores are going to clear their inventory of the chips before they go stale, even if that means discarding the food. The only difference you should notice is in the sell-by date.
Moreover, unlike some of the others, I do not think that putting nitrogen in the bags is why they puff them up. That makes no sense. You only need enough nitrogen to displace any atmospheric gas that would otherwise be in the bag, and that is only done because you can not vacuum seal the chips without crushing them. It is only how they puff them up because they are puffing up the bags anyway.
The fact that the bags are puffed up is not in dispute. The only question here is if it is done to trick customers into thinking they are buying more food than they really are, or if it serves a legitimate and practical purpose.
They claim that puffing up the bags helps protect the chips, which is a claim that checks out based on Matpat’s experimental scrutiny of unbagging Doritos, counting out how many chips are in the bag on average, separating out the broken chips from the unbroken chips and putting the unbroken chips back into bags at different ratios to be resealed for weight and drop testing to see how far you can fill the bag before a higher percentage of chips break, which much to Matpat’s disappointment, ended up being just about the number of chips the factory filled them with, indicating that they fill up the bags as far as practically possible. I am really not sure what more evidence you could hope to ask for in such a case.
Also, comparing different chip brands does not work because we do not know if there are differences in how the chips are made or how they are handled before they reach the store.
Also, as long as we are discussing smaller brands of chips and which ones are our favorite, it is time to bring out the cincher to this argumment. My personal favorite potato chips are actually Rusty’s Island Chips[rustyschips.com], and admittedly, those bags do not have as much slack fill as other brands. You get quite a few chips for the size of the bag, but I do not want to discuss the details of that.
However, Rusty’s Island Chips are thick enough that sometimes they feel like they could cut into the roof of my mouth. This not only gives them a whole bunch of crunch, but it indicates that that they have more structural integrity than the typical Lay's potato chip, and they are also handmade in small batches without automation, so they probably are not being dropped around nearly as much as cheaper factory made chips.
However, at the end of the end of the day a bag of Rusty’s Island Chips is still only going to be about halfway full, and this is definitely not because they want to try and fool customers into thinking they are buying twice as many chips. How can I be so sure that Rusty’s chips have no intention of scamming people? Well, that is what makes them the cincher. That is because Island Chips possess the relatively unique trait of being sold in mostly transparent bags, so you can see exactly how many chips are inside.
I am pretty willing to bet that you have never seen potato chips sold in transparent bags before, and there is goood reason for that. That is a rather bold move for a potato chip company, because light also has a degrading effect upon food, and in combination with the fact that they use no preservatives other than the salt used to flavor the chips, it indicates that their business strategy is probably only to make enough chips to sell out in relatively shorter order.
Now if you want to talk about consumer transparency, you really can’t get much more transparent than a literally clear plastic bag. There is no fooling the customer into thinking they get more chips than they actually get with that. Yet the Rusty’s bags still have a significant amount of empty space in them[m.media-amazon.com], even though you could not possibly trick the customer with them, indicating that there has to be some other reason for the empty space.
Finally, this sort of grift does not make much sense to be honest. It is not as if empty bag space is free. You have to pay the cost of making the bag bigger, filling it up with extra nitrogen and perhaps most importantly for the additional transportation of shipping higher volume products.
.
You know what does make sense though? Using puffed up potato chip bags as air cushions for other potato chip bags being shipped in the same case. It is the same principle as packing peanuts, bubble wrap, crumpled up newspaper and perhaps more relevantly the air cushions Amazon usually puts into their boxes. If you can use potato chip bags as packaging material for other potato chip bags, then instead of wasting shipping volume, you are saving it.
Moreover, puffing up the bags with extra gas prevents store employees from crushing them flat, because they can not do that without exerting enough force to pop the bag like a balloon, which is not only difficult because chip bags are sturdier than balloons but would also render the chips unsellable if it did happen, disincentivizing the shelf stockers from trying to cram too many bags on the shelves by crushing them because they are paid too little to care about anything that will not get them reprimanded and potentially fired by their supervisors.
Also, yeah, I thought that was a particularly clever definition for pringles too, but in retrospect I should have said dehydrated potato slurry, since the word reconstituted is usually used to indicate that you are making dry foods moist again. You could possibly make the case that reconstituted is still appropriate depending on the meaning of the word constitution, but meh.
There's nothing quite like blackened death metal and vinegar chips.
i dont know i dropped out in 6th grade but even i have enough of a brain to know that they shouldnt be called two different things if theyre the same thing
then why not just call it air then
Can't get more honest and efficient packaging than that, but I doubt something as fragile as chips would survive that.
Still, the amount of air in these bags - even with the nicely stacked ones in cans - is way too much.
yup! netto used to have some amazing chips called Scottie - but they took those out of circulation to the displeasure of everyone. yet another scam in the history of chips scam. i know a lot on this issue as you can hear.
i dont get those peanuts because the peanuts at rema are way better and cheaper. but netto has those roasted peanuts which are bomb - apart from the fact that theyre drenched in oil. if you put them under a hydraulic press, yuck.
