"Recently, a netizen had a rather amusing experience during a shopping adventure that left everyone amused and perplexed. While at the American supermarket Costco, he selected an enticing bag of potato chips. However, when he eagerly opened the packaging, he found only 2 chips inside, which truly left him bewildered.

Swiftly, he shared this experience on social media, unexpectedly gaining a lot of attention and resonance from numerous netizens. In his post, he described opening the package only to find 2 chips lying inside, leaving him both speechless and amused. From the photos he shared, it was evident that the first bag contained only 2 chips, the second had 3 to 4 chips, and it wasn't until he opened the third bag that he found a normal quantity. This bizarre experience immediately sparked a wave of jokes and discussions. Netizens commented with remarks like, ""The price remains unchanged for only two chips,"" ""Shouldn't you feel it in your hands when buying? How could you choose it,"" ""In foreign countries, it's common to give such packaging to kids on Halloween; kids who receive 2 chips would be surprised,"" ""Mine is more impressive; when I opened it, there was only 1 chip,"" and so on.

Many people might wonder: Why do these bagged potato chips have so much air inside? After some investigation, it turns out that the Food and Drug Administration had explained on social media: Do you know that the air inside those bags is not ordinary air? It's nitrogen! After frying, potato chips are crispy and fragrant, but they are prone to oxidation. Similar to apples, when you take them out of the refrigerator, remove the peel, and see the original color, right? Then, after a few minutes, you notice the oxidation of the apple. Therefore, besides requiring sealed packaging, potato chips also need to be filled with nitrogen for preservation. When the air volume is too low during sealed packaging, the protective effect weakens, and during transportation, there is a high likelihood of collisions, breakage, resulting in crushed potato chip fragments. However, if the packaging has a sufficient amount of air, it can protect the potato chips, and nitrogen can prevent the oxidation of the chips, maintaining their quality.

So, the potato chips are filled with nitrogen, but I still feel the quantity is too little.

This situation indeed leaves one feeling a bit disappointed, especially when opening it and discovering that the proportion of potato chips inside is far below expectations.

It is normal for mechanical issues to occur; businesses should provide good after-sales service.
