    Could you tell that to all the companies out there who use plastic?

    Remember when Snapple tried to spin moving to plastic bottles like it was a good thing, like 5 years ago?

      Agreed, but there is also far too much consumer push back. Sunchips tried to make a more biodegradable bag, but people complained that they were too loud.

        They were louder than the aluminium/plastic bags? What material did they use? Also what a lazy argument by the producer for giving up environmental actions. Bet it just cost them more.

          ~2010

          I remember them being noticeably louder. Unless you were in a library or a movie theater I don’t know why people cared all that much though.

            Thanks for the source. So yeah “Potato Chip Technology That Destroys Your Hearing” doesn’t sound reassuring. Nonetheless I’d take those packaging everyday over conventional knowing I did my thing while getting fat.

            Eating out of conventional chips packaging in cinemas or libraries should be punishable either way. I think in reality those customers problem was the “open the bag at night without waking up everyone” problem which should be preventable with a bit of planning.
