[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why do I feel like I got ripped off?

Posted: 10/19/2004 10:45:45 PM EDT

I go to open a nice big bag of chips and VIOLA! More than half of the bag is empty. I just can't help to have that "damn, I got screwed" feeling. head.gif

Call their Customer service and tell them you got a half a bag and they will send you out coupons for a couple of free bags

Their claim is that the air is to protect the contents during shipment.

They claim the air space is there to keep the chips from breaking. Yeah right, they screw you at the drive thru!

yes but it still doesn't ease the fact that you feel like your corn hole has been spanked so hard that it is PROLAPSED!

Buy pork rinds, the bags are always full.

+1 on the "by pretzel sticks"

Or buy pringles. Fritos usually have full bags as well.

Buy Pringles. The package is always completely full and they taste better.

Send those photos to Consumer Reports. They do a monthly article on ripoffs and "Super Size" items
that aren't Super Size. Looks like the bag is the only super size!

Look for the phrase on the package: "Some settling of contents may occur in shipping"

That's their get out of jail free card.

I once bought a 12 pack of "filtered water" and one of the cans was sealed, but empty. I felt ripped off. Pretty cool can, though.
