The mostly-vegetable-matter compostable Sun Chips bag is unbelievably LOUD. You can't quietly take out a chip, you have to wake up the neighborhood doing it. Google "sun chips bag loud" and see for yourself. And here's a discussion of it
A few nights later we were all around the kitchen table munching Sun Chips and reading the blurb about the bag's compostability. Unfortunately I don't have a bag handy at the moment for reference, but as I recall this is what it says:
The bag is guaranteed to break down over a few weeksIt's possible to read "home" as the end of a thought rather than as related to "composting operation" and that got me laughing so hard I almost couldn't breathe for shrieking. If a full bag got stashed in a cabinet and forgotten in this hot (it's August) active (the three-year-old is beyond active) home, would we discover only a pile of chips there after a few weeks?
in a hot active home
or commercial composting operation.
Sorry if it doesn't come across here as funny as it did to us. But we had a good laugh anyway.
