Things you wish you could say

Not really. The air packed in with it provides cushioning which protects the product. You get what you paid for. It's sold by weight, not volume.

Right, that's the 'packaging process necessity' part.

Its actually nitrogen meant to flush oxygen from the bag and prevent spoilage.

That's interesting.

Re: Jerky. I make my own and have found that $2/oz is reasonable for a good jerky. When looking at the less than quality ones, it's time to snap into a slimjim

Honest question here:
I have made jerkey before but really have not done any quantum analytics on it.... cough

How much weight do you lose when you jerk it? If you start with a pound of trimmed meat and jerk it, by the time it's done, what is average weight loss?

I can tell you how much you lose cleaning fish et al but have not went down the jerkey rabbit hole.... yet..

I don't want to challenge your claim, especially if I am actually clueless on the real data but even 2/ oz seems quite high. A filet is 16 dollars a pound, and you want 32 a pound for jerkey? if it was MADE from filets or higher end meats then I could see the price being asked but I honestly can't see them using super high quality meats in commercial jerkeys, especially after lising fillings trying to chew on one of those sob's

Then again people will pay what THEY believe something is worth, end of story there

My data is lost. I didn't write it down. I just remember thinking the price for a quality one (some are much better than others) is fair.

That list of pictures is incomplete.
I have a bread that I make ALL THE TIME, that I should probably even patent.
I call it PumperBRICKle bread. Picture one of those pumice stones that you scour griddles with, only smelling slightly better.

I can make two loaves, literally out of the same kneading, one will rise beautifully, the other will be a little black brick. No rhyme or reason, I think god just flips a coin to decide which loaf he wants to stomp on as he laughs down upon me.

Either way, you bury them under spinach dip and either works

You buy a bag of chips and it's a quarter full... words cannot express the disappointment and anger.

Just a story. When DD was 1 or 2yo she found a bag of ZAPP's potato chips ( a local, Very spicy brand) a friend was bringing home on a flight. The friend called to report that DD had removed each chip, licked the seasoning from them then replaced them in the bag. She is still a fein for hot, spicy food.

Nothing like a bag of air that smells like chips.

Only in this case, after the nuclear burst, two chips would fall out of the bag, one dented, the other with an arm missing....
