    Have you ever opened a bag of chips and thoughts, why is there so much empty space? Did I just pay for mostly air with a side of chips? You are not alone! For years, I've thought I was getting ripped off with each delicious bag of chips. Today, I want to find out if that is true and I am starting with the biggest culprit of them all - Doritos!
    Disclaimer: At 11:56, the Breakage Rates for the More Chips Bag and the Average Bag are accidentally swapped; the More Chips Bag Breakage Rate is actually 79.8%, and the Average Bag Breakage Rate is 74.9%.

    Hey Theorists! In the video at 11:56, the Breakage Rates for the More Chips Bag and the Average Bag are accidentally swapped; the More Chips Bag Breakage Rate is actually 79.8%, and the Average Bag Breakage Rate is 74.9%. Sorry for the mix up!

So Doritos needs an Einstein to develop a chip that is less brittle while exposed to nitrogen gas, and become less brittle per a normal doritos once exposed to oxygen...

    11:59 isn't it weird that the fewer chips bag faired roughly the same as the more chips bag with less than 3% difference?
    Wouldn't that mean that it wasn't the air protecting the chips, but rather the outer layer of chips are protecting the ones at the center from breaking.
    Also I've bought diff. brand tortilla chips in chunked up bags, yes with lots of air, but are also filled to the brim with chips. Most of the chips weren't broken. The Doritos tortillas seem especially fragile for some reason

The most traumatic time for the bag is actually when you put them on the shelf or reposition them there and as a store worker let me say that there is a lot of pressure to put as many bags on the shelf as we can (because they come to us in boxes and we can't store partially filled boxes in the back so they gotta go somewhere) or move all of them around quickly when "facing" the isle. If you grab the top so the bottom puffs up like a balloon, you can really manhandle them without breaking anything.

    Tip for getting "less" crumbs in your chip bags. Open the bag from the bottom! I worked in grocery store shipping and even there the chips are always oriented the same way. By opening the opposite end the powder and smaller chips with fall back through the big ones. You eat the crumbs naturally with the bigger chips. Results in less loss if you won't eat chip dust. Learned this from my ex and this is the best thing to come from that relationship.

    I calculate chips by weight not volume. (ESPECIALLY for popped snacks like popcorn!)
    Living in NYC, Utz’s dollar bags were a great value…just enough for one person to binge on.
    $4 a pound is my general guideline.

    MatPat, I have your part 2 for this: Japanese Doritos (especially the "gourmet" limited edition flavors) always arrive to me with most of the chips unbroken! My theory is that it's because the chips are less dry and slightly thicker than the regular American chips.

    Excuse me, but have you heard of Pringles, and their innovative way of stacking chips/crisps/crackers/puffs/fries on top of eachother? Biscuits with filling already use cardboard for protection, so even thin chips/crisps/crackers/puffs/fries companies could use that to deliver neatly-stacked produce to the customers.

    • @Th3BlackLotus

      Pringles aren't chips. They're crisps.

    • @novacorponline
      @novacorponline 2 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      Pringles packaging works great for Pringles. Specifically Pringles.. But any chip which is not *perfectly* uniform and stackable would suffer from tube packaging. Any variations in shape, size, or texture would cause the chips to break themselves with even mild jostling.

      It would be interesting if they'd also considered the ones what were broken but still decently sized. At 11:28, it looks like there are some decent, although not whole, crisps. However this may be difficult to keep consistent, because what would someone consider a decent crisp.

    Hey MattPatt. As a former fritolay employee I can actually shed some ever deeper info for ya. At frito lay they tell the merchandisers to pack out the shelf as much as possible. They pack the bags in cases of doritos in cases of 7 bags. In a cardboard box. And stack them up to 6 ft high when they ship them through the trucks. Where most of the chips getting crushed is in the shelfing process when we had to literally pack them so tightly on the shelf 80% of the time the chips get crushed.
