Are we being conned?
Answer:
I totally agree with you. Especially the big name brands, it won't be long and we'll open a bag to find one lonely crisp.
I think the air in the bag helps to stop the crisps from all breaking when they're piled into boxes, but it should still weigh what it claims to weigh.
I would tend to agree with you, however maybe they are just saving us from ourselves. The more crisps we eat the fatter we will slowly become.
Crisps kill! That air you're buying will probably save your life!
I agree!
Don't eat them. They are full of fats and carbohydrates You know, the stuff that makes you fat.
Yes I agree with you , large bag make you think your getting loads of crisps and full of air.
Yeah kinda agree with you, only the other night when opening a packet of hula hoops did i think of that myself!! B@stards!
indeed, I think we are being screwed, its time for a rebellion, who is with me?
dead right mate.
yep, it's a con.
Surely more air in the bag means they will go stale quicker, and are crisps not sold by weight not puffed out bag size
Ewww,im not eating any more crisps since i read the other day 1 pkt a day means your consuming 5 ltrs of oil a year!
I think we should all stop eating them anyway.
But if we all did for a couple of months I think they would learn a lesson.
You're not paying for the air. When they sell u this stuff, it's based on the weight of the product (ounces). Not the volume.
So whether they put the air in or not, they will charge u the same for it. Personally, I prefer the air; it's so they don't break. I don't think it's for the freshness. Preservatives are for that.
dont they sell the crisps by weight.
If so it wouldnt matter how much air was in the bag the amount of crisps would be the same.
Yeah I think we should stop buying bag of air and look for the ones with more chips in it.
I totally agree we are getting ripped off after all these are just potatoes and there are plenty around.
I say put loads more Crisps in the packet and stuff the air because you cant eat that.
Good on yer.
I would agree with that the amount of crisps you get in a packet is not worth what your paying for. I am sure that when I was younger you got more in a packet than you do nowadays.
I have bought crisps only to find there are a few crisps in the bag should take them back really but it hardly seems worth it.
Walkers used to give you loads but over the years it is definitely getting less.
Yes we are being conned big time.
