    Totally a manufacturing problem... there are usually 3 chips in bag.. 😂 😅
  • @lolblehXD
    i miss when a bag of chips was only 25 cents and slightly bigger bag was 50 cents..
  • @stoned_kitty
    When you open the bag, you can almost hear a whisper "F you" from inside of the bag.

    One thing that companies are doing simultaneously raising the prices and at the same time shrinking the product. This level of greed is going to destroy this country.
  • @M.C.Blackwell
    Stop buying. When they lose enough sales, things will change, but not while people are still paying inflated prices for less product.

    Should start exposing these Billion dollar companies by pointing out their profit margins. If something costs you 15 cents to produce, yet you charge $5.99, then you can keep your product.

    Back in the day companies would refund you or send coupons for free products but now when you write to them and show them their response now is were working on resolving the issue thank you for bringing this to our attention and thats it.

    The bag states .75 ounce. Not even a full ounce. And yet consumers keep buying them.

    NO, we have not gotten used to being ripped off. WE JUST HAVE NO CHOICE!
  • @AREALDAWG
    Not "shrinkflation" its called robbery

    No it's not a malfunction, they make millions of bags of chips a year, they purposely "malfunction" thousands of bags saving them thousands of dollars. I worked in the vending machine business for 15 years.
  • Not only that, they inflate the bags to make them look fuller. I know it’s good for preventing chips from getting crushed and crumbled but I’d rather have a full bag of crushed chips than a bag of air that’s now $8
  • Just bought the same box at Walmart yesterday and every chip bag has less than a Palm full of chips!

    I just don't buy junk, haven't for years. The only way things change are that you quit buying things.
