Are Lays Potato Chips Much Smaller Now?

smaller chips gets the number per bag up, is that the deal here?

does this BS make ANY sense in an age were we routinely talk about the carbon footprint of our consumption?

come on people, this is a serious discussion on truth, sustainability, whether capitalism sustains our values, and who runs this society....or should..

can A2K discuss such matters anymore?

Small is in. Some major candy bar manufacturers are no longer making their big bars because consumers want the smaller size.

I never liked those big chips, anyway.

but they are almost impossible to dip.....this is like Ritz crackers which are now about half the size they used to be plus a very brittle which they did not used to be making them very difficult to use for what was their main purpose, loading up before we plopped it al in our mouth.

I am getting very annoyed with the quality of products going in reverse, and I want to know why this happens in market capitalism.

Perhaps you just have fat fingers, and you will derive health benefits of being unable to dip the chips.

Or perhaps you're mentally challenged, in that you are unable to problem solve how to hold a chip by its edge.

Either/or.

Oh. The word you're looking for is "profits."

There's a whole psychology/biology to snack foods. As they better understand the mechanism of satiety, they're designing the snack foods in such a way that you can just shovel them into your face all day long and not get full.

Satiety reflex is based not just on how much you eat, but how you eat it. Small bites, that don't need to be thoroughly chewed very much, don't trigger the satiety reflex.

If they can get you to eat more, for longer, then they make more money.

I say we boycott Lays. It's obvious these small chips are homophobia at it's worst.

Let me get a petition up online.

perhaps, but my understanding of the mini fad is that it is driven by consumer demand for novelty and indulgence. the novelty is that we can now make things a lot smaller due to advances in factory processes. the indulgence is that we feel so rich that we can practice wildly inefficient acts and not care, like the movie star porn bio I read where someone or another said that she loves chicken McNuggets, but that she only eats the boot shaped ones.

small chips have always been around, they used to be in store brand bags, so novelty does not explain it.

inefficient maybe, they are hard to dip and are messy.

I would be interesting to know if people like these new mini chips, and if not the question becomes how does it get to be in FL's interest to make them anyways. one possibility that i am only know thinking of is maybe FL has now driven so much of their competition out of the market that they just dont care what people want. this would be a scary look at the current state of capitalism if true.

...is non-existent.

Thank you for playing.

a fine example of why A2K is dying right here.....
