I looked for a thread already devoted to this interesting, important topic but surprisingly didn't find any.
But I was reminded of it again this morning as I pulled my bag of Original Sun Chips from my desk to snack on as I got rolling in work. Of course all my co-workers within 50 yards starting laughing again since the bag is so damn noisy and we were just talking about FritoLay's recent announcement that they are abandoning these new "noisy" bags and going back to the good old quiet bags.
The new noisy bags are a biodegradable material and, as shown on the bag, they decompose within a few months. The old quiet bags take years or more to decompose.
Due to customer complaints about the noisy bags and plummeting sales of Sun Chips since they went with the new bags, FritoLay is abandoning the "green" and going red again.
Another positive aspect of the noisy bags that I liked is that my kids can't sneak into my stash of Sun Chips without me knowing about it!
That's my green report for the day.
