Crisp Bags Are Mostly Filled with air...?

Ask a Question

Why don't they make smaller bags since they contain so few crisps inside of it? Kind of false advertisement, you expect a whole bag, and get so little.

Then again, you see it's like 16g and that's not much.

The oversized packaging is to protect the crisps from being damaged. They are filled with nitrogen gas which helps stop the crisps from being crushed, and prevents oxidation and spoiling.

That makes sense even if some are disappointed seeing there's hardly anything. 😅

Buying multi packs is only worth it for the kids. It doesn't do for me anymore.

Has anyone taken crisps on a flight? The gas in them expands to an alarming degree! I was frightened to open my pack in case it made a loud bang and everyone thought a bomb had gone off. They deflate as the plane gets lower.

I once bought Reese's Butter Cups (only three per pack) for £1 and regretted because there was hardly anything there. From now on, I buy from Amazon.

These ones, in fact: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00OP12K30/

It's nearly as bad as Amazon when you order something and it comes in a big box and you've only ordered one creme egg...
