"Due to the despicable practice of pumping air into bags of chips to make them seem twice as full as they really are, the government of Tyrandis has filed a class-action lawsuit alleging misleading and fraudlent business practices on the part of Frito-Lay Inc.

"I know I'm going to be involved," said an anonymous citizen, "Those bastards have ripped me off time and time again. Why, just yesterday when I was getting some KC Masterpiece Barbeque potato chips, I opened the bag to find out it was barely a quarter full."

Massive protests against the company have already begun, with activists shouting the slogan "Snacks Not Air" twenty-four hours a day.

Company executives were not available for comment."

OOC: Inspired by a RL story. You can RP as a citizen involved, since Frito-Lay sells their half-full bags of chips everywhere in the world.

I thought they filled the bags with air inorder to provide a cushion to prevent the chips from breaking or being crushed during transit?
