This will be a long term case study on how not to run a company.

Literally corn and salty seasonings should never have sold for this much and they ruined their brand for a LONG TIME

Wanna know the best part? Kroger started selling chips for $1.99 a bag. Same large size bag; same style Flavoring, wide variety. These name brand corporations don’t understand their customers at all lol; no one is paying $7.00 for a bag of chips lol.

“Did they have to put this into Claude to figure this out? Or like a spreadsheet?” Hahaha

Am I the only person that gets pissed off when hearing "they lost X amount"?

.....like they didn't make that money so how did they lose it? Don't shift the blame on consumers because you are bad at doing business.

So if we all stop buying all the tasty shit we love for a year. The prices will return to a reasonable level? Spread the word!

Funny thing is, it probably still only costs them 75 cents to make those bags. They buy that corn for pennies to the pound.

$7 for half a bag of air

So 15% off of $7 is ... $5.95. A bag of Utz used to cost me .99$ not to long ago, so maybe a dollar off ain't gonna fix the issue

They tried to pull a "Chipotle" and it backfired.

Maybe when you charge $7 you should also not shrinkflate the quantity of chips. We will go without and buy an avocado instead.

It’s almost like paying attention to what we were no longer purchasing , instead of what investments firms were purchasing, could have helped these companies make better decisions.
