AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE THEY WERE LOUD AND VERY ANNOYING.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Were the Sun Chips bags louder than other chip bags? Maybe they should package them in hemp. Then you could smoke the bag and satisfy the craving for Sun Chips it would bring on. Win/win.
Originally Posted By LPFan22 LOL! They were definitely louder than normal chip bags. It was annoying. But again, I was willing to put up with it knowing how Earth friendly they were.

Originally Posted By leobloom I thought the loud bags were designed to discourage people from late-night snacking. If you did, you'd wake up everyone in your house.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance You should try to find them in your local grocery store, you've never heard loud until you hear this bag being handled. You need hearing protection everytime you snack. It's really quite humorous.
Originally Posted By EdisYoda I heard on the news tonight that the bags put out 90db of noise... equivalent to a motorcycle revving it's engine.

Originally Posted By Sport Goofy I actually stopped buying Sun Chips because of the new bags. The noise was excruciating. Seriously.
Originally Posted By skinnerbox It's not like compostable bags have to be noisy.

And their compostable bags that don't have the noise problem. If this potato chip company can do, Frito-Lay can do it. No excuse.
Originally Posted By Longhorn12 >Was the bag louder that the cruching of the chip? Hard to believe. LOL< The bag can reach noise levels of about 95 decibels. That's only 5 point lower than a rock concert, and the same level as the inside of a fighter jet's cockpit.
