    But surely you could have poured the chips from the big noisy bag into several smaller ziplock bags each portioned for one lunch. :?: :D

    Would those smaller bags be made of ....plastic???? They are not loud but certainly not eco-friendly. ;)

    You were just supposed to get the joke without explaining it...

    Well, I wouldn't go that far. You seem like a fine, upstanding American citizen.

    Now is when one of our Euro friends chimes in with a "one and the same" sort of comment. ;)

    Are people eating Sun Chips in libraries? In movie theaters? In hospital nurseraries? At funerals?
    We had them packed in our lunches at the Avon Walk and I didn't notice a big difference in the sound they made.

    Then you didn't have the eco-friendly bags. You can tell. I can only assume that everyone that wonders what the big deal is never had to touch a bag. It was horrible...very poor execution.

    I agree that the bag isn't a big deal and is a good idea.

    I won't buy again because I thought the chips tasted like shit.

    What I find amazing is not only that people are complaining about the noisy bags, but that they actually put the time and effort into writing Sun Chips to complain. To actually focus that much into a stupid chip bag is quite unbelievable. And to think we could use that time spent writing Sun Chips into time spent writing our reps about REAL ISSUES.

    I would not be surprised if the real reason they pulled the bags is because the extra cost of the bags was eating into the profit margin.

    I honestly believe it was because sales were down because people hated the bags.

    from BBC website today

    Recycled potato peelings could be used to make environmentally-friendly crisp packets, a leading snack firm has said.

    Walkers said it had already developed cellulose crisp bags made from wood pulp - but this resulted in "crackly" bags that might put off customers.

    The Leicester-based company hopes that bags made of starch waste from potatoes would prove more appealing.

    Walkers, the UK's biggest crisp maker, is aiming to make packets out of peelings within 18 months.
    'Sticky starch'

    Richard Evans, president of parent company PepsiCo UK, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Imagine making it (a crisp packet) out of potato peelings.

    "In reality, if you think about starch - and you know how sticky starch is - if you could mass it together you could create a layer of starch and stabilise that.

    "We could use the peelings we have, that today go to animal feed and other recycling uses, to be turned into a crisp packets."

    However, he said the firm was still experimenting with cellulose as it wanted to create bags that would naturally decompose.

    The firm makes 10 million bags of crisps each day.

    People are so ridiculous. The bags are extremely loud; however...who gives a f***? It's a chip bag for Christ's sake! I love the harvest cheddar and I certainly am not focused on the noise factor while eating them. More importantly, the company is making a mistake by giving in to such absurd complaints; people will still purchase Sun Chips regardless of the bag, guaranteed. A graceful apology to the bored housewives and overweight couch potatoes who are having difficulty hearing Oprah over their noisy bag is all the company should have allowed. What a joke.
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.
