to help prevent chips from being crushedWww@FoodAQ@Com
one of the reason is to avoid crushing of the chips!.!.!. the other one of course in my opinion is for preservation!. the gas used in packing is nitogen and the process is called "Modified Atmospheric Packaging"!.
Nitrogen is used to inhibit growth of aerobic bacteria, which keeps the chips fresher and obviously stop it from going bad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The potato chip baggers will probably say the air works as a protecting layer when bags are shipped or stored to prevent crushing of the chips if tightly packed!. I don't know the exact reason because I do not bag chips, but it makes sense!. Grab a bag of chips and hold it between your hands, then push and shake!. The chips are free to move and none are getting crushed!. That's my thought on this matter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
they put it in large bags and fill it halfway so it would look like you're buying a lot!. and then you buy and buy because it's a big bag!. It's a marketing technique for the unconscious mind of the buyers!.

Potato chips are sold by WEIGHT and not volume!. What you think is air is really a gas which acts as a preservative!. I forget the name of the gas but it replaces air and that's what keeps it fresh!. BTW, the gas is not harmful!. Now buy a BIG bag of chips, eat and enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They put a gas in the back to extend shelf life and the inflated bag also helps keep the chips from breaking up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
To look bigger and seem like they have more chips in them than they really do!. They also do that because their hoping you'll want more after you ran out, obviously!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The air keeps the chips from getting smashed up!. But I still feel like they are ripping me off!Www@FoodAQ@Com
