Thank lawdy there were way too damn loud.
I thought the bags were loud... but they're not [I]that[/I] loud. :raise: [editline]05:15PM[/editline] The chips themselves are worth the loud bag.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;25296296]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.[/QUOTE] Yup I'm glad to go back to filling landfills with my difficult to decompose plastic bags just to avoid some noise
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25287267]I really can't believe you're defending this 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[/QUOTE] Yeah, I am defending it. From a business standpoint it wouldn't make sense for Frito-Lay not to pull the bag. People won't buy the chips with a bag this noisy. It's stupid, but they won't. It's just not a practical trade-off for them as a company. Ideally, people would realize that a noisy bag is a fair price to pay for a bag that composts in 14 weeks. But they don't, and you can't blame Frito-Lay for making this decision. Even more ideally, Frito-Lay would develop a bag that composts similarly, while eliminating the noise issue. [editline]03:50PM[/editline] [QUOTE=thisispain;25293876]yeah if you eat chips for like 8 hours it's not that bloody loud[/QUOTE] I sort of addressed that in my post. The bag's noise level is enough to deter customers. It's not viable for Frito-Lay to continue producing this specific bag. What they should do is develop a bag that composts in the same time-frame, while reducing the amount of racket the bag makes.
they are really really loud
[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] I hate people that are complacent and are willing to deal with a shitty product than a product that may be developed later and actually work. [editline]04:08PM[/editline] [QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25296220]Even in a landfill it'll decompose considerably faster than normal plastic bags will. [editline]03:40PM[/editline] Millions of gallons of oil or Volume level while eating chips which is more important... hmm[/QUOTE] Yeah, 7-13 months of shit chip bags is going to save the world.
Oh god these bags. While i agree they're loud, i think it's stupid to pull them from shelves.
I never had any problems with these bags...I don't know what everyone else is talking about. My main problem was that I never can find fucking normal sunchips, I can only find the god damned flavored ones! [editline]12:19AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Carbon Knight;25299590]I hate people that are complacent and are willing to deal with a shitty product than a product that may be developed later and actually work. [/QUOTE] I hate when people think the first version should always be perfect or they shouldn't develop it until later even though they would need this kind of data to make it better in the first place.
I never really understood this. Why the fuck are you complaining about a bag that your not even going to spend more than 5 minutes with? Seriously, I think there's more pressing matters in this world that is more significant than your grubby hands causing sounds because of the bag.
You are supposed to eat chips in a bowl or plate not out of the bag you fucking animals.

Yeah, 7-13 months of shit chip bags is going to save the world.[/QUOTE] Just because they haven't pulled the bags out of production doesn't mean Frito-Lay can't still work on reducing noise level. Also, easily decomposable chip bags keeps them from clogging up landfills, and if they are successful, can help set a standard for other companies.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25278040]Fuck environmentally-friendly products, [i]they're slightly annoying[/i][/QUOTE] I lovee me some sun chips and would selflessly purchase this bag regardless because I can flaunt what little care I have with crackling noise. [editline]10:25AM[/editline] [QUOTE=The Jman Wik;25286650]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.[/QUOTE] Ok maybe not. [editline]10:30AM[/editline] [QUOTE=RichardCQ;25296474]Or you could just deal with it and enjoy the fucking chips poor people in developing nations would start holy wars over.[/QUOTE] I'm really on the fence with the bag now... you know.
hmm...I bet Coach likes them Sunchips. [img]http://foxprods.net/experimentalists/Coach_Sunchips.png[/img] Shit.
[QUOTE=Bluesummers;25300952]You are supposed to eat chips in a bowl or plate not out of the bag you fucking animals.[/QUOTE] Why the hell would someone eat chips out of a bowl or plate? You're wasting water and soap to wash the bowl or plate. I rather deal with a loud and annoying bag than fucking soil a goddamn plate.
