Do you think more air will protect more chips? Do you not think there is a point where too much air allows the chips to move around too much in transport and thus you get more broken chips? A point of diminishing returns?

That's more about you than the level of air suitable for protecting chips or shrinkflation.

The fact that this topic has no good algorithm experience, I question if it is good enough. I think the algorithms suffer from feedback loops.

It's also a feedback loop. They suggest popular music, which exposes it to more people, which makes it seem more popular, which means it gets suggested more...

Go on, have a google. The weight has consistently and distinctly and excessively changed. Surprise reveal, the changes only ever give you less product for the same, or higher price.

And how many packets of ships have you opened in your life?

[–] Quatity_Control@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Im going to put a crazy idea to you: 95% of bags you open do not have excessively broken chips. That 5% that do, suffered an incident in transport that regardless of air, resulted in broken chips. And if you honestly are complaining about a few broken chips a rare amount of times, the issue is with you and not the chips.

I will also add that as more and more air is introduced, it's creating more space in the bag for chips to move, collide, and break.

Finally, imagining that the more and more air being introduced to chip bags is anything other than a way to increase the size of packaging while reducing the weight and volume of the actual product is just foolish. If that's the path you are choosing, gl with that.

I mean, it's a particularly bold type of stupid. Other poster claimed the air was for freight reasons. I asked for the source, and there was none. If you bothered to at least google, there's plenty relating to air in chip packaging, including Pringle's. Pro tip for amateur googlers: Add shrinkflation to the search to get specific results!

Which is my point. There is no reason to increase the air in a Pringle's can. They have reduced the size of the can, increased the amount of air, all in the name of shrinkflation. Same as other bagged chips. All the excuses is just marketing bs.

And you think more air has and will continue to reduce broken chips? Don't you think there is a point of diminishing returns?

... It's just the inside of a Pringle's can.
