- JohnMakin 3y agoThat is not what this is. The amount of chips and the ingredients in the bag will usually be fairly consistent. The effect you're describing is due to packaging, where things like chips will settle to the bottom of the package over time and during shipping.
- wonderwonder 3y agoSure, its just intentionally misleading and irritating. I very much doubt the bag was full when it left the factory and is only 1/3 full at purchase due to settling
- lozenge 3y agoYes, there's always been air in the bag, but not like this. Food inflation has been over 10% for two years now in the UK so it's been very noticeable.
- JohnMakin 3y agoI am not disputing inflation in the UK, but rather the fact that chip bags consisting of mostly air is not an effect of inflation.
- geodel 3y agoWell, weight is written on package. Not sure if one really expects 3 times more chips for that weight.
- lozenge 3y agoDo you remember what was written on the package last time you bought it? Times the 100 products you buy. Will you notice the new void added at the bottom of the jar? Or the gap between servings hidden under the label and around the transparent window?
- wonderwonder 3y agohow much does a chip weigh? Do you check weights on all of the products you purchase. Having a back that is 2/3 empty and filled with air is clearly intended to mislead.
- geodel 3y agoI thought its filled with air so chips do not break in packaging. I may find chips or many other packaged products expensive for its weight but not misleading. On the other hand I do find restaurant/coffee shop servings regularly misleading. There is no size/weight printed on it. They can and often reduce size/portion/pieces in their servings along with increasing price.
