Cause you can suck the fruit of the my loom.
JellybellyBushroot
Because once you pop, you can't stop.
Westside85303
Because you can't just eat one, pair.
KeepingRepostStatsBusy
I don’t try on my potato chips, but I have tried on every undie I have ever considered buying.
d0gZpAw
Pringles?
StarkRG
Can't say I've had either come in resealable packages.
themightierpenis
Cause once you open a bag of potato chips and try them, you can’t put them back.
humaneffigy
Chips can go stale forcing you to buy more, clothes do not. That is why.
Oma12345
Because assholes at the store open the packages to look at the sock and underwear.
zeroexistence
well, there is no law forbidding you to use those resealable packages for your potato chips.
HitlersArtCritic
I mean. You can easily just take a few sealable bags and putting chips in them. If its big enough you can fit the bag itself.
Gianttesticlemonster
Ever shit yourself on a long hike, run, car trip etc... Need something to seal it up for disposal
justbecauseihaveto
I agree, it's weird. Women's undergrunds don't come resealable. Why are mens so precious? However, to compare to potato chips is ridiculous
Tendrilmind
In Japan they do. Blame your barbaric government that wants you to eat whole bags of saturated fats, get heart disease and need the system.
Zuir
And in Europe 30g for bag (1 oz). We also have soda can of 150 ml (half of the normal size)
zylex
From a logistics point of view, the air prevents the crushing of the chips once in a box
daboiaintright
Hy-Vee's (grocery chain in the midwest) store brand chips do. It's money.
mailman7777777
What brand underwear comes in resealable bags?
Ohboyididit
Ya why? I gotta know now!
maxstout808
Pringles
mrsdowneyjr
Undies do because people need to open them to see how big they are and stores figured out they won’t sell if they look opened so they added
mrsdowneyjr
The zipper. They don’t use them on chips because they require a softer more permiable plastic that doesn’t keep the chips crispy
crazyfishlady
This, but people still rip open packages of socks and underwear that have the zipper. People are jerks.
copingcabana
Per unit cost
blknflp
You know why
Metalsmelter
I do..money
Zuir
In Europe you can find 30g for bags (1 oz), any brand. We also have 150ml soda cans (half of the normal size)
temperedtorture
Because they want you to eat all of it in one go. If you can reseal them you can do portion control and buy fewer.
Metalsmelter
Thanks captain obvious ?
Gauntlet2013
Have you ever put on rancid underwear?
woodjoiner
DocBox
Read that as “Spocks and underwear...” at first.
mrsdowneyjr
Me too
Ticketingzero
Hyvee grocery stores sell resealable potato chips
TheRicM
Found the undercover Hyvee marketing agent
Ticketingzero
Shhhhhhh
TheOnlyCanadianWhoDoesNotLikeHockey
Chip makers want you to eat the whole bag quick so you'll buy another?
Delathi
Planned obsolescence
TurkeyHole56
That’s absolutely fucking right mother fucker
BigHero3000
Because if the bag were resealable the chips would last longer and they would not sell as many.
Dudeitsausername
Or just buy an entire cart full
Somanyquestions
That doesn't explain why you can reseal a package of socks. It is really a useful feature?
deflationary
My guess is how they're manufactured. Machines make and seal Doritos, but typically clothes use a lot of labor.
Sslayer777
So potential customers can open the package at the store to feel the softness of the cotton before making their purchase. It promotes sales.
vezlys
Seal in the stench if you return it? I can't see any other reason.
FloppyFingers
4 words, planned obsolescence
LuciusNeedful
That's two words, three and a number if you count the whole sentence.
whataboutsmee
Of perishable food items...? I dont think that term applies here.
AnonKneeMoose
You’re right. Better terms would be ‘Faster Re-consumption’ as chips are considered an impulse purchase. P.O. better matches white goods 1/2
AnonKneeMoose
Which are big long-term purchases like TVs, Cars and washing machines. Phones arguably match this category now.
mastodoff0
One of the more vile human constructs if ya ask me.
MadameDeGallifrey
I see that all the time in my industry. It’s messed up. Parts for power equipment only have to be supplied for 7 years. 1/2
MadameDeGallifrey
Then the manufacture can discontinue parts and now you have to buy a new machine. Husqvarna is notorious for this. Avoid their stuff. 2/2
BadCorrections
"lifetime supply of oil"
Somanyquestions
I'm confused, what has planned obsolescence here? The chips? The socks? The bags?
PotatoGunnaPotate
Yes
Cyynic
I'm torn. That's three words and a number, but it's also a number and a word referencing two words... And I think you need a : in there...
NotACanadian
In total, the post itself is four words. {Four, words, planned, obsolescence}
FloppyFingers
Great observation. I actually meant to write it as a semi joke, at first I was going to write "one word", but for some reason chose 4!
witheredspoon
Should have went with 20!
Cyynic
Oh I dug the joke, which was why I wanted to highlight it. Cognative dissonance for the win!
