Healthy or non (though, I try to stay away from the non-healthy), would it kill the people (or machines) to fill the bag up instead of giving me half a bag of air?

Agree X10000!!

I mean, if I'm gonna eat said amount worth of calories, why not make me feel like it's WORTH eating the amount

You want your bag style chips and things mostly together or you want them smashed in shipping?

That's the "air pillow" in the bags is for -- some cushion.

Some will still get broken being jiggled around in there, but less than if they were being banged around with no air cushion at all.

But yeah, it's a drag.

A.

Yah companies take advantage of the "air" in the bag rule to prevent too many broken chips by having more air than need be. Its kinda like when jars are raised on the bottom and they look like you are getting more than you need.

Wow I never knew that!
