Ladies and gentleman, somehow, over the loud, crinkling noise, FritoLay hears you. And changes are coming.
About 18 months after the company unveiled its new 100 percent compostable packaging for SunChips, the company has said it will transition back to the original packing for five of its six flavors. The original, plain flavored chips will still be sold in the eco-friendly wrappers.

Good.
The “eco-friendly” bags were weak.
lolol.
So ironic.
HA HA!
When I first got my hearing aids a couple of years ago, the very first thing I noticed was that when I turned on a signal light in my car, it actually did ping, I’d never heard it before.
One of the next things I noticed was when opening a bag of Lays Potato Chips, it is extremely loud. Just handling the bag is loud.
These things are a minor nuisance now, I can hear every word my grand children say to me and that, my friend, is a blessing!
If Frito Lay wanted to kiss up to hippies so bad, why didn’t they just sell marijuana?

Aye, aye, aye, aye...I am the Narco Banditio.....
This is hilarious! My son took some to college and his roomates almost killed him for making so much noise. This was predictable - noise pollution!

They don’t need to as people who smoke pot will go buy frito lay stuff after they get done smoking their pot.
Good...the other day, my daughter was running around the house with one of these bags trying to annoy her brothers. Mission accomplished.
I like Sun Chips and never had an issue with the bag. I mean, isn’t the idea of eating chips because they’re crunchy?
No. 1 rule of business: If you think it will make you money, do it. There is no such thing as a “social conscience”
This is a new type of bag, and it is REALLY noisy. Go buy one while they are still available, and you’ll see why everyone is complaining.

That’s not a bad idea. It’d also help Frito-Lay sell a LOT more chips!
Are you sure you had the compostable bag? The smaller individual size bags are not the compostable bag. We stopped buying them because the bags were so loud. Someone measured the decibel level on You Tube of the compostable bag vs. a regular chip bag. The noise level was in the dangerous to human hearing range.
Oh, I may be mistaken. Yes, I almost always get the individual size bags with a sandwich.
“The original, plain flavored chips will still be sold in the eco-friendly wrappers.”
But, but, but, but darn it, that is the only version of Sun Chips I occasionally buy!!!! (as a snack at the train station).
I heard people complaining about the bags one day, and thought, "How bad can it possibly be?" Checked it out the next time I went to the store...crazy noisy!
A lot of these “green” alternatives have been duds. I remember the big drive to ban styrofoam coffee cups...turns out their paper replacements took more energy to produce. The State of South Dakota recently stopped using 85% ethanol in its fleet vehicles. Turns out that the 85% ethanol fueled vehicles got some 23% less miles per gallon and made them more expensive to operate despite the 85% ethanol blend costing 23 cents per gallon less than gasoline.
