They do that because they want to keep the price point the same so they just shrink the contents instead.

Pretty soon everyone WILL be able to eat only one, because that's all that will be in the bag!

This is another example of my Bob Dylan obsession: whenever I see them, I think of Lay Lady Lay.

they are sold by weight. But think if it as buying a bag of air with a free chips!

And a little life hack: open the bag upside down that way you get a more evenly distributed mix of broken and unbroken chips. Just remember that if you store it...

yeah is a a pyscological thing. the bag looks big! so it was thought of a a better value. But we need to look at the weight!

it is like some medicines, they are known to just up the dosage so you take 4 tsp when it used to be 2 tsp. But they can keep the price and bottle size the same. But make twice the money.

what do you mean much better? better value or better for you? I find them to be over seasoned. they are okay. But I do not see them as better. I have not compared the unit price.

To be more accurate, its primarily nitrogen due to its inert qualities.
Its there primarily to protect the chips...but I'm sure imagined volume plays a role that marketing doesn't argue with.

For classic, "no flavorings" chips, you absolutely cannot beat Lay's.

That's what I eat when I rarely buy junk but mostly I make chips at home for a snack.
