chevysoldier Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I didn't mean it like that. sure the company wants to sell their product and needs to make their buyers happy. I meant from a consumer POV. People that eat these should suck it up and deal with the noise. They are making the earth a cleaner place. Now if we can just put trash bags on cows asses to catch their farts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'03VstarSH Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 " Today’s hard-hitting investigative report from the Wall Street Journal: The new Sun Chips bags are loud. Like, really loud. The new bags are biodegradable and compostable (good), but as a result, are also more “crispy and crunchy” (bad). The poor Sun Chips fans who just want to be able to get a midnight snack without waking up the household have compared the sound of the crinkling bag to a “revving motorcycle,” the WSJ reports.http://www.newser.com/story/98354/sun-chips-bags-louder-than-a-jet-cockpit.htmlGuy measures decibels of SunChip bag:http://vimeo.com/9664621 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Dude' date=' I tossed an empty one out of my window and it set off 3 car alarms. What the hell good is "compostable" if I can't even litter without being inconvenienced?[/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I find this interesting. http://www.esoundproof.com/Screens/Basics/Academy/Sound%20Measurement/Decibels/dBChart.aspxhttp://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/loudness.htmlOsha says 4 hours a day of 95dB is permissible. Who eats sunships 4 hours a day?A walkman at 5/10 is about 94dB. Ban walkmans, ipods, cd players.Eh but I have't seen the bags. Last time I had sunchips was when they were 80% compostable or whatever. Edited October 7, 2010 by chevysoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggO Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I never bought the ones in the new bags. I was afraid if I took them on a picnic, the bag would dissolve in the ground before I got any chips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler524 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I bought only one or two bags when the new bag came out and then after that I quit buying them because of that damn bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CattaniAFJ Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 These things were LOUD, seriously. I couldn't eat them in the house past 8pm because my daughter went to bed at 8:30. No shit. I'd rather have SunChip bags all over the place than those loud fuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorifto240 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Oh no the bag is too woud, my wittle ears are hurty.Of course the world around us gets louder and louder. But because I can't gorge myself silly after midnight: I want to kill off the solution to a source of waste.Every chip/snack food maker in the world could have taken a huge step towards reducing their impact, but no. Those bags would be too loud. I mean being inconvenienced in such a mild way, is too much to pay for what is effectively a zero-impact product.Will I seek to stop the increasing noise levels all around me? Dammit, don't confuse the issue! We're talking about loud bags here!Is there a "step off the soap box" smiley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Funny, because we also stopped buying them because the bag would just piss us off it made so much noise. Yeah, sure I can pour them in a bowl, but the first sound of that bag ruffling is like nails on a chalk board, drives you CRAZY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood3586 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I had to give up my peppercorn ranch sunchips. seriously I got way to irritated just touching the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
