WHY EVERY BAG OF POTATO CHIPS ONLY HAVE 8 CHIPS IN IT AND THE REST IT AIR NOW? WHAT A RIP OFF

The emerging official name for the phenomenon is "shrinkflation".
The most infuriating example I ever saw was in the familiar red and white metal boxes of McCormick ground black pepper. It has been sold for decades in the same iconic tin, but they dropped the contents from 4oz to 3oz. That and many other examples here:
Here We Downsize Again 2015 – Part 3 (Mouse Print 8/24/2015)
The place where this pisses me off the most, because honestly it's best that I eat less chips, is when I open a tub of protein powder and it's half empty.
I forgot to mention the really outrageous one: Kleenex (IIRC) started making significantly smaller tissues, then put them in the same size external box with internal barriers so they wouldn't flop around. Who looks inside an empty Kleenex box?
That's some chutzpah.
I guess my Kleenex boxes are too old to experience this.
giant bottle of 30 pills
At least niggers won't pick the cotton out of it.
And when that doesn't work they just short the product. Why even have regulations at this point? No one is enforcing them.

NOT THE PEPPER NO
Man i just bought mccormick pure vanilla extract and when i opened the box, they’ve switched out glass bottles for PET or PP plastic. Gross.
They make smaller small bags now? Good riddance Potato chips is one of the worst types of goyslop snacks I try not buy too many bags Fries are a lit bit healthier Baked or boiled is best
Shrinkflation is super jewish, but you are right that there is an ironic benefit to it being so prevalent in the goyslop highly processed junk food sector. They also do it with other things and that pisses me off, but it is probably good in a sick way that chips and other shit are getting shrinkflated.
Obviously I am angry about the devaluation of our currency. But I am almost angrier at how insulting shrinkflation is on an intellectual level. I feel like, fuck you, jew, do you think I don't understand unit price? If our currency has been devalued then that sucks and all, but I would still rather just pay the full cost and get all the food I need.
the skins have the good stuff
Not really, most of the things that say that are comparing equal weights of potato skin vs potato flesh.
But the skin is a negligible weight of the potato unless the potatoes are really small.
I remember doing some searching for a single skin-on jumbo potato vs a calculated equal weight of skinned potato from the same source, and the difference was negligible (less than a few percent) on every listed nutrient except for insoluble fiber, and even that wasn't much of a boost.
antioxidants ---- flavonoids, phenolic acids, and carotenoids, with red and purple potato skins providing anthocyanins.
The 'purple' is a flavonoid.
I eat small potatoes for that reason.
YOU ARE RIGHT BUT THEY CONVENIENT, TASTY (SORT OF)
Is there a reason you use caps so much?
Hmm, think funny, not everyone cup of tea?
It can be when properly placed, I agree, just seems to be overused lately, but that's just me.
FAIR ENOUGH, THINK RIGHT
stop eating goyslop
don't eat processed foods
Too much sodium --- not enough potassium.
Most of the potassium in potatoes is in the skins.
mmm, potato skins..
GmoCottonseed oil
Gmo rapeseed oil
Gmo corn oil
Gmo soybean oil
If Siete chips or goodcrisp are available in your area, it’s worth the extra $2 a bag. They are made with avocado and palm oil respectively. I think boulder co. And trader joes makes some olive oil chips too.
But yeah, in respect to your post, shrinkflation sucks.
If you eat this you hava a bigger problem than what you are pointing at.
This is why I buy the Putz Cheeseballs in the full container, where I can see how many cheese balls are in the container.
No different than coin clipping. 🤔
Conspiracy! Big chip out here scamm'n the masses
one chip challenge
Literally a bag of potato chip. Only one chip. I also see those .25-oz bags with 8 regular chips. We were commenting that it was Amos's complaint about unequal weights and measures .... and Israelites weren't the only ones doing it.
God is the OG conspiracy theorist
At least we get air to try and keep the chips whole. They took the air away in the UK.
Bagging implies taking possession of a potential within a process...doing that always diminishes whatever is bagged. The trick is to tempt many to take possession of brand awareness (idolatry), which in return permits few to diminish both consumer and product.
Process (inception towards death) generating potential (life) implies a RIP (cut apart)...it's the BAG (put together) which takes possession of self.
