I went and bought this 17 inch bag of Ruffles potato chips. It's the family size. My family could finish this off in two minutes. I paid $4.49. Don't ask me why. I won't ever buy these again. I opened the bag and there was about 6 inches in the bottom of the bag. I was so pissed. I even took a couple photos and was going to email them and a angry message to Fritolay.com. But guess what they don't take email. They are good chips but I will never pay that much money for about a nickles worth. They are ripping off the public and it's not right! Anybody else have this experience?

Frito lay chips are a rip off, and some of the other brands are becoming the same way. They think that because they are a big name that people will buy them no matter what, and unfortunately some people still will. Revolt and find a different, cheaper brand that you and your family like.

I stopped eating potato chips about a year ago, but yup, used to piss me off too. You get the same amount of chips in a snack sized bag as you do in a regular size. It's all marketing propaganda. Hell, for $4.50 you can buy 10 pounds of potatoes and make enough chips to feed an army. If I were you I'd call Frito-Lay and vent. You're a consumer and they have consumer complaint lines. Even if they don't do anything about it, at least you've let them know you're on to them.

Yes I totally agree. Food companies always rip you off.

did the bag contain the weight in chips marked on the bag?
if so then the company is not to blame.
Good luck
