Why is there so much air in potato chip bags?
To prevent breakage and to cushion the chips inside during storage, transportation,etc... You are paying for the exact weight of the chips (amount located on the bottom right usually) so you are not getting ripped, especially since air doesn't weigh that much last time i checked. So in the end, it is a necessary evil that will continue to frustrate many snack-happy people who will never seem to be satisfied with the "wasted space" inside their bags Edit: I left the previous answer because it is partially correct. HOWEVER, the most important reason is the "air" that is in a bag of potato chips is actually pure nitrogen gas. The nitrogen prevents the chips from rotting. Without it, cushioning wouldn't even be necessary because the chips would be spoiled before you bought them anyway.
Which gas is in a chips bag?
It's Nitrogen (N).It doesn't interact with the chips and the salt and oil in it,so it doesn't make it all soggy.But the Oxygen (O) does,because it allows them to absorb humidity.
