Goddamn packaging ripoffs!

[MaxNikkos]

So I opened my packet of Turbos (jelly cars :o) and out popped a measly 8 vehicles... THIS PACKET CAN HOLD THREE TIMES AS MUCH EASILY! This is stupid, and I've noticed that the chippy packets here contain like, 10 chips. This is getting out of hand, they charge the same price but keep lowering how much is in the packet. Someone needs to bring this to the attention of the people at these companies.

/discuss ripoff bags.

I bought a bag of gummy Life Savers. I step outside the store, open the bag, and find that it is only half way filled with Life Savers. :/

[Messes]

Chip bags contain less because the bag needs to expand and what-not depending on the elevation, that's what I know.

And just feel the bag, if it doesn't feel like it doesn't have what it should, don't buy it??? profit

[MaxNikkos]

Sorry but elevation my ass, profit is what they want, so they pay less for forget-all chips and then sell them as if they were filled to the brim.

Are you stupid?

We should start a boycott! Then starve to death from no food!

Alright, a while back I went into a chip factory for a tour. I asked this same question.
They said they needed to only fill it halfway because otherwise the chip would be crushed in the chips would be smashed.
No one likes smashed chips.
:(

So what, the chips get crushed by chips?

[Jacob/Lee]

Nobody wants to eat chips as small as ripped apart packing peanuts.

[Jubel]

Bags of anything always have half the bag full.

So what, the chips get crushed by chips?

Yes. They get crushed by other bags of chips during shipment.

I don't see why people don't just buy the big bag and stop bitching.

I bought a big bag of dill pickle chips and the bag is huge.. it wasn't even filled halfway

[Nexus]

I bought two boxes of starbursts, opened both boxes, and proceeded to dump the contents of one box into the other.  It filled it about 2/3 of the way.  Even that double box only lasted a few days between me and two of my friends.  On the bright side each box was 79 cents

I meant that the bag of chips will be smashed againts the walls and people handeling them.
