Potato Chip Bags

When I was on a diet trying to lose weight, one of the things I cut out was potato chips because of how unhealthy they were, but now that I weigh less, I eat potato chips sparingly.  I'm not here to talk about my favorite potato chips (Cheetos and Cape Cod).  I'm just here to talk about how annoying it is that potato chip have more air in them than actual chips.

It's not the biggest issue in the world, I know, but as a consumer who has to spend money on food, I would like to get all that I paid for when buying potato chips.  That means a bag with at least 3/4 full of chips, not 1/2 with the rest being air.  I understand the reasoning for doing that to keep the chips fresh, or to make it so more chips don't break, but us consumers don't care about the look.  We just want to eat, which is why I say give us more because companies can afford to, while us consumers really can't.
