Why the fuck does every food item have an "air puffed" version now that is also more expensive. THEY'RE CHARGING FOR AIR. They're literally selling air. It's so infuriating. Brings a whole new definition to "inflation."

I won't lie lots of food tastes better air puffed but also it should cost less. It's less food. I hate capitalism agony-turbo

    Buzzkill mode but wouldn't the upcharge be for additional processing/handling and potentially additional storage demands and requirements?

    Its the putting being charged for, not the air.

      It comes in the same size container it's just got...less. And it's like 20% more! Some things like extremely fragile crackers, maybe? But they already come in bags full of air that is expressly meant to protect them. Think something like ice cream though; it's frozen! It doesn't need any additional special handling requirements so why is the whipped version more! honk-enraged
