          I’ve heard that you can get varieties of kernels that reduce that problem, but I’ve never actually tried them myself. Anyone have experience with them?

    Love too go to the grocery store to buy a bag of chippy for my nostalgia craving only to see the bags cost $5.50/each or I can buy 5 bags for $2/each.

    I just want a bag of chips for $2-3. I don’t want five bags of chips just cuz they’re on sale. They promote such unhealthy deals.

    Self preservation is an act of defiance in this society

    someones post on another and I agree with them

    "I get that you increase price because of inflation

    I get decreasing package size because of inflation

    but I don’t get why are you decreasing seasons you put on your chips. They are the entire reason I buy them. congratulations doritos, you managed to make me quit eating chips whick my mom never managed to do so"

        Unless the price increase goes directly to increasing employee wages, it’s unnecessary price gouging.

    What a sick, sick society.

    But in better news, stuff like this has caused me to learn how to make most things from scratch, which I really enjoy.

    Love the passive voice in service of PepsiCo. How did the price of doritos get so high?! They just do that!

      This actually goes beyond passive voice. Not only did the price just magically rise, they are explicitly saying that the company didn’t do anything.

        Definitely acting like the price increase was just a force of nature as if the Mississippi river just overflooded it’s banks and destroyed the annual Doritos crop

    Why would they do anything about it if they’re not losing money? They’re the ones who choose the price of Doritos.
