If you're in the UK, go to Aldi and buy some Stackers instead. They're actually really good.

This has been termed 'shrinkflation'. The prices stay the same but you get less for your money.

Capitalism at its finest. Profits are down (please take note: still a profit), how do we "solve" this? Answer: less product, same price.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

But it says how much is in it on the outside of the can...

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

I have never seen the problem with this. You buy them by the weight, so you already know exactly how much is in there.

Also, splurge a little on the flavoring, Pringles! I recall being a kid eating the sour cream & onions and their being more flavor then now!

I havent had pringles in forever cause they taste like dehydrated potato flakes for me to know this.

And the "Original" flavor is such high sodium content, it burns my damn tastebuds. I started buying the low-sodium version instead.

The amount of space is a bad measurement. Take a look at the weight it says on the packaging, and keep track of it. Bags used to be 350g

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Now they're 300, or in some cases even 275g. Party bags of chips used to be 60g, now they're 30g

I feel like this Pringles can will lead to a lot of broken chips due the space, while the space in the bags was to prevent broken chips.

The space in bags is actually a pocket of nitrogen to keep the chips fresher

Still, i hate opening a bag of chips, takis especially, and only getting 1-2/3 chips.

Yeah. The air was to prevent crushing, but air won't help a tube. Just let the chips build momentum to crush themselves.

it's not air, is nitrogen and it's used to conserve more than cushion. Oxygen would make it rot faster and the humidity would sog them
