Not that we buy processed food that often, but I wondered why Sun Chips have not been sold in biodegradable bags anymore. Here's why:

Good grief! Just had to share.

I thought that was a bunch of crap personally. I started buying them when they packaged them in the bio bag and stopped when they quit. Each dollar you spend is a vote.

That's funny, Kristina...I watched this episode (specifically for Jeff Tweedy) and didn't even hear this segment about the bags. I'll have to go back and listen again!

The things I learn here :-) I have been wondering where the chip bags went to...now I know. Sad really......

Yes, that is the right link. It's when he talks about "tiny triumphs" at the beginning of the full episode.

I really didn't like the bag anyway..........it was too obnoxiously loud. Forget trying to sneak THOSE into a movie theater or having a quiet midnight snack!

We don't buy that many Sunchips and are more Doritos fans, so it really didn't make much difference.

We get to listen to Canadian radio (CBC) and I heard that Frito Lay Canada is keeping the compostable bags. General comments were Canadians were more enlighten: )

The bags were loud, but knowing that they were compostable made that bearable for me. I'm disappointed that they've stopped selling them.
