Hey Hey Let's Go! 喧嘩する
大切な物を protect my balls


I picked up some Walmart branded chips in a can and it seems there is a bit of a marketing scam going on here...

You see the can, everything seems okay, nice tall boy of chips...


Still... seems okay...


But then you pop the top on the can of chips and...


What the flying gently caress? There's like 4 inches of space not occupied by chips? Not only is there less chips than what you'd think, but the empty space means the chips will all be broken... gently caress you Walmart!

Yeah, it's 5.5oz of potato flour, corn flour, wheat starch and rice flour together with fat and emulsifier, salt and seasoning, with a potato content of about 42%.

Have you considered that your chips were loaded wrong and that's why there's extra space?

Bagged chips get beat to poo poo during every step of the delivery process. Tube chips usually stay intact except a few at the bottom.

Just thank Walmart for taking steps towards saving you from obesity. Chips are not a good snack, try some celery that someone pooped on.

Lion of Judah protect you, Jah be praised.
Did they also package the chips sideways as shown in your picture? Or did they happen from the aforementioned "top popping"?

You are misrepresenting potato puff products as potato chips

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.
