We think we bought a whole pack of chips, half the pack is empty! This is quite frustrating for the consumer; but the manufacturers have good reasons for that famous void. Let’s see if the explanations of the manufacturers will comfort the consumers.
Can anyone accept that gap in the chips packets? We don’t think so. The air gap in the chips packets, which we think is increasing day by day, good reason according to the manufacturers there is.
Manufacturers, available in packets of chips, disappointing consumers to the package space has logical explanations for it. Who and how much will be convinced of this situation, which annoys us every time we take the package into our hands? Unknown. We still the veil of secrecy behind the void We wanted to open it for you!
Who knew that the space in the packages acted as airbags?
We knew that the space in the packages was a conscious choice; But contrary to popular belief, this is your conscious choice. The reason was not economic concerns, but possible problems that may occur during transportation! Producers; When the packages are stored in tight spaces, loaded on transport vehicles or placed on top of each other, he pays attention to the fact that there are spaces in the packages so that the chips do not turn into crumbs. You see, that empty part of the package that pushes us to rebel every time; It’s like an airbag!
Nitrogen, not oxygen!
If you think the chips packets are inflated with oxygen, about this too that you are wrong We’d love to tell you! The packages were filled with nitrogen, not oxygen. Since oxygen can cause spoilage of potatoes, especially in potato chips, and bitterness of the oil used in all chips; Nitrogen gas was always preferred during the preparation phase of the packages. Nitrogen is also a gas that helps chips stay fresh for a long time in the package. It is known that all these benefits of nitrogen have been proven by a scientific nutritional research carried out abroad in 1994.
Can nitrogen gas harm our health?
As you know, nitrogen is a gas that makes up about 78% of the air we breathe. Therefore, inflating the packages with nitrogen and our exposure to nitrogen after opening the package does not pose a health threat at all.
Pay attention to the size-price ratios!
Trying to gain an advantage in price by thinking that there are more chips in large packages is an involuntary behavior; but we cannot say that this simple calculation, which has become automatic in our minds, has no margin for error. We have to warn that sometimes this calculation will not work, especially for those who do not have the habit of checking the labels of the products. Although nitrogen in packages benefits both producers and consumers with the space it creates, it may not create opportunities in the size-price ratio as we think from time to time.
