"Frito-Lay hopes to quiet complaints about its noisy SunChips bags by switching out the biodegradable bags for the old packaging on most flavors."

"Groups on Facebook abound with names such as "I wanted SunChips but my roommate was sleeping..." and "Nothing is louder than a SunChips bag.""

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....

" 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.

I find this interesting.

Osha 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.

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?
