2% compostable

I think you mean 190% compostable.

^actually their environmental impact reports say that in a modern aerobic compost pile under ideal conditions it will decompose completely in ~12-16 weeks. (their commercial is legit)

However, in anaerobic environment (such as your local landfill) decomposition could last indefinitely; IE - it's useless unless you toss in backyard and wait 4 months.

LOUD

Which is equal to a subway train at 200'

There is clearly an issue when someone takes the time to measure the decibel level of a bag of chips.

3/11/2010 3:25:34 PM

This may be a remarkably subtle marketing ploy. I bought one just because the crinkle made me laugh out loud in the chip aisle.

Also, i plan to throw it out behind my shed and see if it really works!

3/11/2010 8:36:51 PM

there is nothing subtle about these bags

3/11/2010 8:45:34 PM

"Unlike other snacking phenomenons (Pringles, perhaps?), once you popped, the fun just stopped. Frito-Lay took a step toward making one of its healthier options have a healthier package. The company unveiled a biodegradable bag for its SunChips products, allowing consumers to not only relish the taste, but recycle when finished. The only issue -- these compostable chip bags rival your neighbor's lawn mower. Take a listen. (See pictures of the world's most polluted places.) The "sound of green" is now the sound of yesterday, as SunChips has responded to complaints by returning to its past packaging. USA Today reports that the bags made an agitating noise because of an odd molecular structure. The positioning of the particles creates a more rigid container, and subsequently a disconcerted base of buyers. Facebook has helped facilitate the angst, with more than 44,000 followers of SORRY BUT I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THIS SUN CHIPS BAG. An earlier August report by the Wall Street Journal had the new SunChips ringing in at 95 decibels of sound, which rivals a jet's cockpit. And then, there's the alternative perspective of SORRY BUT I CAN'T SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU OVER THIS RIDICULOUS SNACK ATTACK. Mother Jones' Kate Sheppard sums up the inane side in "Why We're Doomed" -- a sign that the SunChips crusade marks a new pettish low for complainers."

WAs it really that bad? I didn't mind them...it's not like I'm walking around with the bag 24/7

10/5/2010 6:17:35 PM

And it's not like all the other chip bags of the world aren't loud as fuck either

10/5/2010 6:20:21 PM

^Chip bags are noisy, but these fuckers were loud.
