loumeinhart 0 #1 September 25, 2010 Seriously I was feeling some fritos or maybe some new 'healthy' chips that come in the recycled bags. ... It's like $3.99 or more for 9oz net weight of food?? Why is there such a premium on chips? Do they really cost that much to make? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewGuy 0 #5 September 25, 2010 don't be fooled. chips are neither healthy or 'healthy'. Save your money and health and eat some fruit and healthly type of cheese and some nuts with good fats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #22 September 25, 2010 why????? to pay for CEO and Upper level Execs salaries and bonuses. to pay off the high interst loans,,, to "update" the factories to pay health care costs for workers. to pay for Liability Insurances so that when a bag goes out the door with some part of a RAT inside, they can fight back. to pay off the lawyers and pay the fines, from the last "rat suit" To pay for the outrageous costs for TV advertising....production AND airing.... I have read where the price for the Corn,,, inside a box of CornFlakes, cost LESS than the cost to Print the Box in which they are sold... Bet ya' can't eat JUST ONE!!!! @ 8 bucks or so, a pound,, i'd rather buy Filet Mignon.....jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
