Frito-Lay pulling biodegradable Sun Chips bag because people complain it's too noisy?

[yllus]

I laughed when I saw this thread title - they really are surprisingly loud bags.

 

[sdifox]

That noise drove me up the wall, but I didn't call Frito-Lay to bitch about it.

Someone needs to edit the video where they blow up people that don't want to reduce their pollution levels to blow up people that have noisy chip bags.

That noise drove me up the wall, but I didn't call Frito-Lay to bitch about it.

I've noticed it's not really the bag that does it, but the big fat hand that is rustling around in the bag trying to find the chip shaped like Elvis.

 

[moshquerade]

Seriously? People are bitching that a (compostable) snack chip bag is too fucking noisy?



No, you need to tell your consumers to shut the fuck up and close their mouths when they feed from the trough.

They have to respond to their consumers. Consumers are their bread and butter.

As far as the noisy bag... ppl are just pissed they can't get away with being a chip hog. But those are the ppl buying the product so they are forced to change it.

I can't remember the last time I bought a bag of Sunchips. Find them too salty, but hearing someone open it gives me the shivers.

Thank god. Now ATOT'ers can sleep when their fat girlfriends get up in the middle of the night to stuff their faces.

Allah has smiled on you all.

Thread Win!

Wow, hyperbole much?

You're right, I'm sure there's no way for them to make a bag both biodegradable and not excessively noisy...oh wait: http://inspiredeconomist.com/2010/09/09/the-answer-to-the-super-loud-sunchips-bag/

In fact, reading up on the Sun Chips bag, it seems like they deliberately made it noisy, so this seems like a huge marketing stunt more than anything.

this totally disregards that the cost of an alternative bag might be higher or that the process might be owned and patented by another company.

 

[SpunkyJones]

They were loud, it was tough to sneak a snack with the wife in the house.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Watching the news now, they were talking about this and pulled out a bag. Seriously, it is friggin loud and was driving me nuts as they were just handling the bag.

Surprised they can't make the bag less noisy.

 

[bobdole369]

It really is a loud fucking bag.

 

[Lizardman]

This bag looks like it is the Harley Davidson of the super market.

 

[qliveur]

LOL

Yeah it's a loud bag, but I thought that it was a great idea and was willing to put up with it. Too bad others weren't.

 

[MrX8503]

The bag is incredibly loud, in fact it was so loud that it made me laugh. When I picked up a bag of sunchips to buy I looked at it and said "How can this bag be so freaking loud?!"

I was just handling the bag normally too, now that they're gone I wish I would of crunched them up to hear their full potential.

 

[Joseph F]

It's fk'n crazy when you crunch 'em up. It made my ears ring.

 

[tatteredpotato]

That bag is crazy.... It never deterred me from buying the chips but damn if you wanted to be nondescript when eating those things.

 

[QueBert]

These bags are horrible, I have a hippie roommate who eats them. And literally you can't have a conversation at a normal voice if they're reaching in a bag of these. When you have to talk in a louder voice because of the noise level of the bag there's a problem. I was watching the hippies TV and after about 2 minutes of the bag continually making the noise, he was all the way at the other end of the couch and when he opened it, it was like he was doing it an inch away from my head. I wanted to stab them in the forehead with a Spork. I'm still confused at how loud a simple grabbing of the bags are. It makes no sense, I'm going to head to the supermarket tonight and buy a bag while they're still around. And tomorrow go to the movie theater and sneak them in.

 

[Mike Gayner]

Fuck people just put your chips in a bowl or something. Christ.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Wow, I never knew about this. The last time I bought sun chips was in. . . 2006?

I will buy some tomorrow and walk around campus with my awesome new noisy (biodegradable) bag.

 

[CraigRT]

There is no way people would stop buying the chips because the bag is loud though... They should just keep doing what they are doing...

 

[mb]

Hmm maybe ALL chip bags should be made this way and the fatties will stop buying so much!

Global Life Extinction event is what you are suggesting.

Fat people buy lots of Sunchips

Thin people get annoyed to death

Fat people can't make food fast enough to feed themselves

fat people die.

the decomposing bodies release deadly chemical upon the planet, all lifeforms get wiped out.

Actually, they would not have done this if there hadn't been a big enough impact to sales which is totally believable. Do I buy this bag that is completely annoying and makes me not want to eat what's in it because it's so loud, or do I get the competitors product that isn't so horrendously annoying?

Capitalism works.

I'll convert to solar power and ride a bike to work if I can blast Pantera in your office for 8 hours a day. Think of all of the polar bears we'll save, as long as your delicate ears can handle it.

Ok with 2 caveats:

1. My coworkers can't bitch about the music
2. I get to pick the track list
