Protip: 1 Read the weight. 2. Read the kilo-price. 3. Compare It. 4. Profit
This is probably gonna spare you a little bit of money at least.
Works great for people who can conceptualize quantities well, but not so well for those of us who can't.
People are always asking me for estimates of quantities and amounts in my position, and I can never provide them.
No matter how much I weigh and calculate, seeing the bag is going to trump the mathematical facts, every time.
I agree though: the bag in hand plus the weight etc. Is very useful.
The extra space is to cushion the chips during transport so you don’t have a pile of broken chips and dust. Typically they are also filled with nitrogen as it is inert and keeps oxidation and moisture in the bag to a minimum.
I'd like to see one of these charts that measures the amount of air in bags now vs. in the 80s or 90s. I could have sworn we had fairly full bags of chips back then, withouth them being reduced to rubble like so many people say.
Oh, I agree with you. The shrink-flation is real.
Apparently the companies will adjust the ratio depending on how it is shipped and various other factors.
So most of them should be sold as nitrogen bags with a side order of sliced cooked potato (TBC), to avoid violation of sale of goods legislation in your country.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
