LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 07: Actor Marcus Scribner joined Frito-Lay Variety Packs and Feed the Children in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday, August 7, to kick off its Snackable Notes program to help end childhood hunger by surprising families at a back-to-school kickoff event. For every Snackable Note written on a Frito-Lay chip bag and submitted at http://www.SnackableNotes.com, Frito-Lay Variety Packs will make a $1 donation to the anti-hunger organization, supplementing up to two million meals for struggling families.

Frito-Lay Is Adding 20% More Chips to Its Bags. If you’re a junk food junkie, we got some good news for you. Frito-Lay has announced they will be adding 20% more chips to their bags of chips. This is amazing news seeing as when you open bags of chips you usually just see a big chunk of air on top. If you ask us, this change is long overdue.

A 2021 study found one version of Tostitos had dropped from 13 ounces a bag to 11 ounces.  Another dropped from 12 to 11.  There were similar issues with Ruffles, which are also Frito-Lay. In the quarterly earnings call, executives at Frito-Lay made the announcement calling it “bonus bags.” Now it’s important to note, it’s NOT happening with all of their products. The ones mentioned by name were:  Tostitos, Ruffles, and Doritos.

These “bonus” bags will also be sold at only select locations. They didn’t name the locations but be on the lookout. Some of their variety-packs are getting bigger too.  Ones that normally have 16 bags will now have 18. Let’s hope other food companies will follow suit!
