Interesting Facts about Chip Bags
So on Monday I went to go get my driver's permit renewed and afterwards we got sandwiches and chips for lunch. Well when I got home, I opened the chip bag and saw to my dismay that the bag was barely even half full. So that prompted the question...why are chip bags always half full?
To the average person, it would make more sense that for the amount of money we pay, one should get a full bag of chips, no?
But when I called in my question (yes, I actually called the Lays chip company), I got a different answer to my question. It isn't about money or anything like that.
Its about weight.
Yep, the amount of chips in a bag depends on the weight. If you have a one ounce bag, you'll get one ounce of chips in there. About 10 or 15 chips. The number of ounces in a bag determines the amount of chips in a bag.
It also has to do with air space. You see, according to the wonderful and informative lady who answered me, the reason bags are never fully filled is that if you had more chips in there, the chips would get crushed and broken. So to preserve the size and prevent less breakage, bags are filled up half way so that there's more room for the chips.
And that, my friends, is why chip bags are never fully filled. Weight and air space.
Sincerely,
Sareh
