Just curious about other's comments on this ear-splitting bag. Is a fully compostable bag worth it if everyone within 1/2 mile knows you're eating Sun Chips :)?

I didn’t notice - I bought a box for school lunches at Sam’s, so not sure if they in that kind of bag. I do love Sun Chips, though. :-)

Besides the fact that they suck (especially the garden flavor) don’t open a bag after a few nips of your favorite whiskey after the wifey is asleep.

OK, this new "Sun Chips" bag is compostable (good), and loud (bad).

Silly question: How does it perform as a chip bag? The decay that's showed in the YouTube video - will it decay like that in my backpack when I'm out camping? Will my chips stay fresh?

After living with envirodesign the last 40 years, I've concluded that just about everything "green" is in reality "worse", and gets dumped due to non-competitiveness in no time flat.

A blade solves your problem.

Maybe you should take the chips OUT OF THE BAG before eating them.

If the bag is true cellophane (loud and crinkly),they are made from wood or cotton cellulose. These are renewable materials and compostable BUT the process of converting cellulose to cellophane (tons of chemicals) is very polluting and energy demanding.

I bought a bag of Sun Chips one time. I tried a couple and threw the rest in the nearest garbage can. They tasted like someone invented a way to season sawdust to kinda taste a little like a potato chip.

blech!

I don’t buy anything that is “eco-friendly” or marketed as “green”. I will go out of my way and even pay more not to buy green crap.

I don’t buy Pepsico products. The CEO can’t understand normal thinking.

I stopped buying them when they started advertising some nonsense about carbon neutral production.
