USA Today is reporting that Frito-Lay is dumping that noisy Sun Chips bag on all flavors except the original. Finally accepting defeat in what I predicted (and cartooned) would turn out to hurt sales.
Sales are down 11%. And some environmentalists “hate” us for not putting up with a little noise. But companies should NOT expect people who are interested in helping the environment to have to put up with a shoddy design. They should do better – As it seems Boulder Canyon has done with their chip bag.
When will the world come to me first for advice on these things before spending so much money?
Hat Tip to Crunch Gear for the original heads up.

Wow – Sharon really does hate you bearman!
I get that a lot.
Finally! Could you imagine how noisy it had to have been in the factory, just unloading the bags onto the machine prior to the conveyor belt even starting must’ve required ear muffs. 🙂
You may just be the new Nostradamus Bearman. 🙂
They compared the decibels to a car motor…can you even imagine thousands of bags at once…
Not only an amazing cartoonist… BUT A PROPHET TOO! Show us the way Bearman.
Give me a topic and I’ll tell you what to do.
I find more enjoyment in eating chips when the only sound comes from the crunching in my mouth. Thank you for taking the lead on this very sensitive subject.
I do what I can as a non presidential candidate.
You did it again. You are a real leader and people should come to you for advice.
The name Nostradamus is taken but you can use Nostradoofus or maybe Nostradumb….
well, you know I don’ talk like that but anyway there are a lots of derivtives of that name out there.
Nostradumbass might work.
You should sell your advice then you could be a prophet for profit. Boulder canyon has the right idea. I am a compostaholic so I think more companies should follow their example
I think we should all have to bring in our own containers and have a giant chip bin load us up.
Thanks for that breaking news – or loud breaking news
I remember your post on this and that got me out to find a bag, make a short video clip, upload, post and retire (not retire as in any type of money but at least retire with a sense of accomplishment). I kicked the shit out that bag of chips.
I remember that notorious video. It seemed better than a celebrity sex tape.
Just call the man Bearstradamus.
Bearstradamus or Nostradumbass. Which is better?
If you don’t take Nostradumbass then I’m stealing it!
Does Bo get a commission?
Don’t be waiting on Sharon to knock on your door seeking advice 😆
Sharon seems to still be at it at Crunch Gear.
Finally! I knew some good would come from writing my congressman. Now if I can only get him to make Hershey put five bars back into Kit-Kats. 🙂
Better yet we need to convince you that KitKats aren’t that good anyway.
I hated every single time I picked up a bag. I’m not supposed to be annoyed by chips! Chips are awesome!
Well now support the new bag buy going out and buying some.
Blahahahahahhahahahaha I was going to pull the piss on you this morning after reading about it last night. I guess you got in first 🙂
“Pull the Piss”….look if someone is pulling it…it doesn’t tend to be able to piss.
I never really got that line.
It’s an Aussie expression. It means the same as pulling your leg. We over here refer to alcohol as piss. So I am guessing it came from the bar tender pulling a beer. Friggin Aussie slang!
You are right…Aussie beer tastes like piss.
Oh and Bearman, I wouldn’t answer any knocks at your door for awhile, I’m just saying!!!!!
Why? You visiting the states?
I could never eat Sun Chips in the movie theater because then I’d have to share with that audible bag.
You were just jealous b/c I heard that bag got around.
I wish it would have stopped off over here … I’m famished! 🙂
Better hurry fast…they may soon be gone.
Fantastic job! I’d like to commission you to work to change Spain’s trade laws so that I can finally have access to Cinnamon Life cereal, boxer shorts, ankle socks and Percocet. Please? Thank you in advance.
Cinnamon does not make life cereal any better. Maybe I can smuggle them over for you and we can start our own trade company.
You’re like my Magic 8-Ball sculpture, reincarnated in cartoon form.
I’m sculpting your avatar as we speak.
Ooohhh…magic 8 ball says “me likey”
when will people start coming to me for advice before getting married?
five years later, they always wish the would have.
7 years later and I am glad I didn’t..haha
