  False, Pringles containers contain Pringles not other chips, they do contain air.

  People buying their chip bags by volume rather than by weight are completely missing the point >
  
  I compare chips by calories/price. >
  
  Sure. Or you might want to do something like minimizing cal/g while maximizing g/$ >
  
  I wouldn't mind spreading those cals/g. When I was a starving college student I would often get microwave popcorn packs because it's satiety. It had a load of calories for the price. >
  
  Chip bags don't have air in them. They have nitrogen. It both helps prevent chips from getting crushed, and also from getting soggy. If air was used, the chips would be stale by the time you opened them. >
  
  Nitrogen is the most prevalent component of air. 78% if I remember my chemistry lessons from school.
  It's wrong to say it's air in them, but it's also half-right. >
  
  I would say it's 78% right >
  
  Not Lays ~~Stacks~~ Stax. The can's center is contoured to the chip's oval shape, unlike the straight tube of a Pringles can, resulting in even "less air" as you say. >
  
  Plus it’s a thicker chip, thus providing more substance per chip
