   It’s there to keep the chips from being crunched and crushed in transit. The only “airless” type I can think of are Pringles, since they’re stacked in a rigid can that protects them, instead of a soft bag that is no protection without the air puffing it out.

   Mostly to protect them from crushing up to dust.

   It’s to protect the chips from being smashed, it’s a good thing. If people like eating crumbs then we might see an airless bag of chips.

   The air is important if you don’t want “tiny little chips.” ~%})~
   The air in the bag is probably healthier for you than the chips.
