Good for the earth, bad for your ears

sun kiips - We dream of a world with less waste. That's why we've introduced a bag made from plants so it's fully compostable. Every 10 ½ oz. SunChips® package is designed to fully break down in just 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost bin or pile. If it takes a little longer, don't worry about it. Mother nature will get to it soon enough.



Truth be told, our new bag sounds a bit different than our previous bags (loud as shit). That's because plant-based materials have different sound properties than the materials used to create our old bags. So although this version is a little bit louder, we hope you'll appreciate the change and the positive environmental impact it will have.



The other day I'm chillin with McHuge. It's getting to be lunch time and before we stoop-it Huge busts out the snack attack meal: Sun Chips.

As he's opening the bag he goes Holy shit this bag is loud - he stops, laughs, then laughs again, I say what, then he shows me that right on the bag it says "this bag is loud as shit now because it's good for the earth"

Good for the earth, bad for stoners who live with their parents and need that late night 4th/5th meal. Maybe one day they'll just make a bag that you can eat as well - it's seemed to work out pretty good for ice cream cones and play-doh!

Say whaaat?!



What the fuck is that noise?!

I donno but aren't your curious to how that fucking noise got into your head in the first place? Yaaaaaa you do.

In general, the ear consists of three major sections: the outer, middle and inner ear. Sound is collected by the outer ear and funneled down the ear canal (outer ear). The sound vibrations cause movement of the eardrum and the chain of three tiny bones connected to it (middle ear).

The middle ear system serves to intensify the energy of the sound vibrations and delivers them to the cochlea (inner ear). Inside the cochlea are thousands of tiny hair-like cells that connect to fibers of the hearing (acoustic) nerve. Sound vibrations entering the cochlea cause a wave to travel through the fluid-filled organ of hearing.

This wave causes movement of the hair cells which then generate electro-chemical signals which travel through the acoustic nerve to the brain where they are recognized as sounds.

Who sounds more like timbaland in "morning after dark": timbaland or andy samberg?


As me and my roomate Dave were picking up sticks earlier, the song "morning after dark" by Timbaland came on. I donno what playlist was on full bump, but it came on. when timbalands part came in dave brought up a good observation.

"Timbaland sounds like andy samberg in space olympics".

Well it was obvious. As timbaland enters his....

When the cats come out the bats come out to playy Yeahh
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone be on your wayy Yeahh
In the morning after
When the cats come out the bats come out to playy Yeahh
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone be on your wayy Yeahh
In the morning after Dark

....part, you can't help but think it sounds like Samberg through out the entire "space olympics" song.

I think I'm going to go ahead and agree with dave on this one
