This has to be the strangest recall in American history. And the history of the world. And for all time, too.
Frito-Lay SunChips have been recalled because they're too noisy. It's not the chips, actually, but the bag that's louder than you can possibly imagine. Frito-Lay tried to do the right thing by creating a completely biodegradable bag made of plant-based material. But who knew that plants could be so loud? I have a few house plants and they're the quietest things in my house. These bags are so loud, that Frito-Lay reports an 11 percent drop in the sale of SunChips. Yes, really. Watch this video and you'll see, um hear for yourself:
Too bad that it didn't include a recall on leaf blowers.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry our 100% compostable bag is not going away. We're committed to renewable packaging solutions and will continue to use 100% compostable packaging on specially-marked Original flavor SunChips® snacks. In the meantime we're busy working on the next-generation bag that addresses consumer feedback, so stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteBEST CHIPS EVER...AND THEY ARE HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT...EVEN BETTER
ReplyDeleteHow sad is this....the Today Show ran a piece on this. Can someone please tell me why this is a news story. What difference does it make if the SunChip bag makes noise, are these people eating SunChips in bed?
