i don't give a fuck you can look like a badass earth protector when you blow out people's eardrums

It's hard to be a midnight ninja when you have to replace the windows and plates after a nice bag of chips. Then again, you could be a bad ass environmental protector like fucking Captain Planet with those bags, so I'll stick with the noisy packaging.
Open the bags fast like a man, it makes less noise.
I'm near running F-15E's every day and these bags are still annoying to me. [B]Edit: [/B]Oh wow, he's a heavy pilot. That's interesting. C-17s and KC-135s.. cool beans right there. He has to be a Lt. Colonel.
Was on vacation with my family a few weeks ago. My dad picked up a bag of these chips and would use the fucking bag as a device to wake us up in the morning. Good fucking riddance.
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;25278086]Oh thank god, those made the most horrid sound every time you did anything with the bag.[/QUOTE] Did they have orgasms? :ohdear:
Hm wait so they [B]actually[/B] recalled a line of chip bags that are gone in fourteen weeks because they're too [B]LOUD[/B] it sounds like a fucking bad joke
The decibel scale is not linear though, it increases by a factor of 10, every 10 decibels. So 100 decibels is 10 times louder than 90 decibels.
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25286284]Hm wait so they [B]actually[/B] recalled a line of chip bags that are gone in fourteen weeks because they're too [B]LOUD[/B] it sounds like a fucking bad joke[/QUOTE] No it sounds like the worst sound ever. You've obviously never grabbed one of the bags, it was absurd how noisy they were.
boo fucking hoo it composts in fourteen weeks [editline]02:39AM[/editline] and yes I watched the video it's very loud and annoying but it composts in fourteen fucking weeks
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25286577]boo fucking hoo it composts in fourteen weeks [editline]02:39AM[/editline] and yes I watched the video it's very loud and annoying but it composts in fourteen fucking weeks[/QUOTE] composts like a bad ass
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25286577]boo fucking hoo it composts in fourteen weeks [editline]02:39AM[/editline] and yes I watched the video it's very loud and annoying but it composts in fourteen fucking weeks[/QUOTE] uhh no, it's actually significantly louder than that camera is showing. 95 decibels is really fucking loud. It's enough to actually [I]damage your ears [/I]if you're exposed to it long enough. [editline]02:51AM[/editline] before anyone else complains about the bag being discontinued, I'd like them to do some research. 95 decibels is an absolutely unreasonable amount of noise for a chip bag to be making, regardless of how quickly it composts. Obviously this bag of chips isn't going to damage your hearing. 95db could only really damage your hearing if you were exposed to a constant 95db for a long period of time. But there's no way you could enjoy eating these chips when the bag sounds like a god damn strip of chinese firecrackers going off a foot from your face.
who the fuck [B]cares[/B] pour it into a fucking bowl THE BAG DISINTEGRATES IN LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS
[QUOTE=D4vils Buddy;25278204]I wonder what would happen if you blew the bag up with air and popped it.[/QUOTE] Sonic Boom!

[QUOTE=Kalibos;25286829]who the fuck [B]cares[/B] pour it into a fucking bowl THE BAG DISINTEGRATES IN LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS[/QUOTE] Who cares? Just about every single consumer who buys the fucking chips, that's who. If people find the experience of buying and eating the chips unpleasant, they won't buy them. Do you really think the average consumer gives a flying fuck about how quickly the bag turns to compost? [editline]03:28AM[/editline] is it awesome that the bag disintegrates in less than 4 months? Yeah, it is. But consumers aren't going to buy a bag that emits sound at [B]95 decibels [/B]during normal use. That's not "hey that noise is kind of annoying" loud, that's "holy fucking shit how did they actually manage to make a bag this noisy" loud. edit And yeah, it's so practical to pour the chips into a bowl whenever you want to eat them. What if someone wants to buy one of the smaller bags, and eat it in public? Honestly, if you're holding a crinkling piece of plastic that is thundering out sound at 95db, you'll be annoying the shit out of everyone around you.
I really can't believe you're defending this [quote]Do you really think the average consumer gives a flying fuck about how quickly the bag turns to compost?[/quote] no I know they don't and that's part of the problem but along comes this amazingly efficient step in composting and it actually gets canned because the bag minorly inconveniences people by being loud I don't even know what else to say about this this is ridiculous

Landfills are not compost piles. They are going to take a hit to their profits too if consumers stop purchasing their product. Then they are broke and people are still throwing the bags away. It's better for EVERYONE if they temporarily pull the bag design until they can figure out how to make it more pleasant for consumers.
i want some of these chips
I need to get a bag of these to experience it for myself.
I'd lol if someone ran around a library flailing these around.

I have a great idea. A bowl! Empty crisps into bowl. Enjoy your bagless savoury snack
[QUOTE=The Jman Wik;25286650] 95 decibels is really fucking loud. It's enough to actually [I]damage your ears [/I]if you're exposed to it long enough.[/QUOTE] yeah if you eat chips for like 8 hours it's not that bloody loud

If you really want to help the earth, make a product that people are actually going to buy. You can't inconvenience people and expect them to "do the right thing".
[QUOTE=GunFox;25287339]Virtually nobody is going to compost the bag. Landfills are not compost piles. [/QUOTE] Even in a landfill it'll decompose considerably faster than normal plastic bags will. [editline]03:40PM[/editline] [QUOTE=GunFox;25287339] It's better for EVERYONE if they temporarily pull the bag design until they can figure out how to make it more pleasant for consumers.[/QUOTE] Millions of gallons of oil or Volume level while eating chips which is more important... hmm
[QUOTE=thisispain;25293876]yeah if you eat chips for like 8 hours it's not that bloody loud[/QUOTE] Hell, if you set it on a surface and open it all the way you can completely avoid hearing it while eating your chips. You'd have to be carrying the bag very badly for 8 hours for it to do anything remotely more dangerous than driving people around you into homicidal rage.
I remember buying one of those at the store. I picked up the bag and the first thing I thought was "Why is this so much louder than the other bag of chips in my other hand?" Glad it's going away. [editline]03:45PM[/editline] The only real way to eat Sun Chips with those bags were to dump everything into a bowl.
How can a bag of chips be so fucking loud? wow.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;25296296] The only real way to eat Sun Chips with those bags were to dump everything into a bowl.[/QUOTE] Or you could just deal with it and enjoy the fucking chips poor people in developing nations would start holy wars over.
