Ought to be in Not the Onion.
No way, I don’t believe it. They are absolutely at least 60% cardboard.
They, you mean the consumers, right?
and 20 percent air
Is it just me or does it not literally say “potato chips” right on the bag? Been a long while since I had any Lay’s brand chips.
E: yes it does, on the bigger bags it’s on the front. Not sure about the smaller bags.
Lines up with the mouth breathing Trump voter stats.
I just don’t understand how it is that chips and things like Doritos can possibly cost so much. It must be due to more and more consolidation and price-fixing.
It’s due to people still buying them after every price increase.
How can people be that dumb. It is literally in the name: Potato Chips.
I just always assume they’re lying to me because they’re allowed to. That’s what happens when regulations go out the window, trust does too.
My guess is that when you see a stamp that says “Made with real potatoes” you just assume that they were waved at a potato at some point during manufacturing. :)
Every employee is legally obligated to have a potato in his pocket at all times.
Wait, which study was this? The page says it was from 2021. What was the question? What was the context? Who were polled and how? I am dubious.
I mean, unless the question was, “What are Lays potato chips made of,” which answers itself so it wouldn’t be used. But if the question was “What are Lays chips made of,” I could see how someone might not answer potatoes. And who even asks that question in poll anyway? I feel like there’s a universe of context collapse here.
Corn chips are obviously not made of slices of corn. I would imagine some people could be uncertain about potato chips being sliced potatoes, rather than some sort of potato-based product. Or just not particularly concerned about what any specific chip variety is made from.
Also, who the fuck would know what a potato crate looks like? Did potatoes ever come in crates? They’ve come in plastic bags my entire life, and I’m only vaguely aware they came in burlap sacks prior to plastic being invented.

Ah, like Pringles.
Yeah the chips I ate most recently were Doritos. Hard to believe there is any remnant of vegetable in there at all, even though corn is the first ingredient listed.
This is off the top of my head so correct me if I’m wrong but this is basically what veggie straws got sued over in reverse.
Like yeah, potatoes are vegetables. You thought because some where green and orange that we were using shit like carrots and celery? Lmao, no. Read the ingredients homie. That’s red dye and green dye on weird shaped potatoes chips 🤠
I wonder, how many of those consumers are Americans 🤔
Friendly reminder for canucks that Miss Vickie’s is Lays.
To be fair, Lay’s garbage chips don’t have the flavor or texture of chips made from actual potatoes. They seem to be reconstituted from a paste that at one point contained potatoes.
