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.

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.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
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.
As I stuff another Lay's Sour Cream and Onion chip into my mouth, I realize how loud the bag is. Let's discontinue that one too! What about chips in general? They're so loud when I crunch, I can't hear the TV. What are we gonna do about this atrocity?!!!
I guess these people who complained don't own fucking bowls?

#1) People won't just continue to buy the bags if they think they are too loud...in fact over the last 12 months, Sun Chips has seen a decrease of 11%
#2) The noise level has been measured at 95 dB...louder than a lawn mower.
So regardless what anyone here thinks personally...people are buying less and they are attributing it to the bags. Hence, company will stop using the bags.
95 dB is very loud. Noise is not linear either, the noise level is doubled with every 3 dB increase. NIOSH would say that a person could only be exposed to 95 dB without hearing protection for 0.79 hours...now that is a long chip eating session, but it certainly shows how loud 95dB really is.

Weird. I haven't heard anyone with a bag of these chips. I do, however, hear lawn mowers all the time.

Granted I fell asleep a lot of time in my physics class last semester and got a decent mark by some sort of miracle, but isn't a decibel a ratio of sound intensity? Not a physical unit like grams, litres, etc.

Which is why it is a measure of how loud something is...what's your point?

I don't know actually
Like I said i fell asleep a lot of the time.
But when you think about it logically, is a lawn mower REALLY the same sound intensity as the chip bag?

It has been out there for four months and hasn't begun to break down yet.
I'm not kidding.
