That's false advertising or whatever you call it. There is way more then some. When there is more then some it's not some anymore. It's a lot. Why don't they use a lot when it clearly is a lot?

I hate freedom.

The extra air prevents you from buying a bag of crumbs after shipping.

That pisses me off too You expect to get your money's worth and when you open the bag there's only like 12 chips.

but yeah...they are usually half full (if that) in the bag.

Crisps

Yep. If you had a full bag you wouldn't have "crisps", you would have bits of potato.

you know i did notice this a while ago. I stopped buying Lay's altogether. With Ranch Dorito's it usually seems like it's atleast 3/4's full so I go for that.

that isn't fun. But i guess it is a fact, so you get 50% of this test, Mario

It's Crisps. As your former colonial masters, we say what words are correct

I've been forced to adopt it, but I still find it funny how South Africans could contextualise the use of chips for both crisps(UK) and fries(US) when Brits couldn't.

But then, us saffas call traffic lights 'robots'
