We don't have Sun Chips here so I'm not aware of this, but I'd be really curious to learn how much of that freakout was genuine and how much was engineered by entities with a vested interest in maintaining status quo.
They were extremely loud. That doesn't mean they should have stopped making them, but people aren't joking about them being loud.
The bags were very noticeably louder and stiffer. Not enough that I would complain but it was something you noticed right away.
You would NOT want to have one in a movie theatre.

Paper tubes like Pringles, maybe.
Bowls of chips donβt ship well or work well with shopping
