  1. chillerschote says:

    am i FIRST?

  2. k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

    Nouvelle Cuisine?

      • JasonK says:

        By the way of logic, you’ve just failed at failing….which means that if there had been a subset of Fail and a subset of Non-fail into you, the fail at failing would (a) either be placed on the Subset of Fail, but from the statements of it also in the other subset, while if it was placed on (b) Subset of Non-Fail, it would also by statements be on the Subset of Fail.

        Congrats, you’ve entered the Russell Paradox.

        • Sam says:

          So it’s a win right?

        • CantThinkOfANameToday says:

          Actually, the logic, although interesting is flawed:
          There is Fail, and non-Fail. The result of Failing(x) falls into the first category. Failing(Fail) thus also goes there as well.
          Now, failing at failing might look as a win, but it’s not; It’s a fail. Meta-fail if you prefer.
          Just as “thinking about thinking” doesn’t mean you’re not thinking at all.

          Anybody seen my medication? I know everything seems so fine and good
          ever since I stopped taking them, but still... 
          • 10010001010011 says:

            In the foundations of mathematics, Russell’s paradox (also known as Russell’s antinomy), discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, showed that the naive set theory of Richard Dedekind and Frege leads to a contradiction. The very same paradox had been discovered a year before by Ernst Zermelo but he did not publish the idea, which remained known only to Hilbert, Husserl and other members of the University of Göttingen.

            It might be assumed that, for any formal criterion, a set exists whose members are those objects (and only those objects) that satisfy the criterion; but this assumption is disproved by a set containing exactly the sets that are not members of themselves. If such a set qualifies as a member of itself, it would contradict its own definition as a set containing sets that are not members of themselves. On the other hand, if such a set is not a member of itself, it would qualify as a member of itself by the same definition. This contradiction is Russell’s paradox.

            In 1908, two ways of avoiding the paradox were proposed, Russell’s type theory and the Zermelo set theory, the first constructed axiomatic set theory. Zermelo’s axioms went well beyond Frege’s axioms of extensionality and unlimited set abstraction, and evolved into the now-canonical Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZF). As you can see if the a(fail) and b(another fail) werer put together this wpuld mean that you would be failing at faling this would mean that technically speaking you would have entered the as i like to call it the “limbo” zone which means it is neither faill or win but notihingness this example may help you
            cos2x – sinx = (1/2) for [0,2pi).
            understand now guys? its pretty easy you know

        • Demon in your closet says:

          Enough with this confusing nonsense!

        • ace says:

          what are you on i want some

  3. Bob says:

    It’s the lite version.

  4. Connor says:

    how comes no one has bought it yet? o_O

  5. on:display says:

    I never before realized how pronounced the word tit is in tosTITos.

  6. francinator/co-owner of the ztn says:

    diet version?

  7. BluePrint says:

    Looks more like a quantity control fail.

    • Marlene says:

      Not to mention a fail on the guy who put it on the display in the first place!

      • Andi says:

        Yup I think the guy that put it out is the real fail unless he just did to take the picture.

        • arimareiji says:

          From my retail experience, the real fail is the manager who told him to just put it back and block it to the front, because then someone will have to buy it.

          • A Random Pooka says:

            I imagine it was a matter of setting the case down, opening the plastic, and walking away. The stock person must have never looked. I hope. Damn, if they noticed and still walked away … fail?

            And I know I’ve gotten cans of coke from 12 packs that were empty too

          • Avis says:

            Why do you have to buy it if it’s in the front? I pick things up and exchange it for the one in behind it all the time, if the bag or package in front is in some way undesirable.

            • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

              It is a sad fact, that is a more female trait, more men just pick up what is at the front, and chuck it in the cart without paying attention.

              • Avis says:

                They don’t do that with electronics or vehicles, why not do the same thing with food?

                • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

                  How many men do you know that enjoy grocery shopping?
                  compare that to the ratio of those that enjoy, gadgets, cars and power tools.

                  • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

                    I actually had to ban the discussion of power tools and garden sheds over Xmas dinner this year….

                    • Avis says:

                      Did he want something specific, or was he thinking to buy them for you? My father used to buy my mother household appliances for holidays. Irons, vacuums, things like that. Now he buys his second wife jewelry. He learned.

                      • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

                        A nail gun, he is determined to buy one, in case of zombie invasion.
                        (no I really mean that, it is the reason he keeps giving me and it is the reason we own a masonry drill :lol: )

                        • Avis says:

                          Maybe he wants to build you something nice?
                          Like a zombie-proof bomb shelter!

                        • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

                          *snork*
                          I wish…..he is a tad useless with them!
                          Plus we rent our house, so we aren’t allowed to use any of them!

                        • Max Headroom says:

                          really k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™, you have a clause in your rental contract that forbids the use of power tools in your rental house?

                  • Avis says:

                    Good point.
                    I’m pretty sure they enjoy eating though.
                    Of course, having seen what passes for food at Roosters place, you point makes even more sense. ;)

                    • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

                      Eating, now that bypasses food shopping altogether doesn’t it?
                      (at least I am 100% sure that is what my husband believes!) ;)

                      • Avis says:

                        I’m fairly convinced the two (eating and food shopping) are mutually exclusive in their minds. Having absolutely nothing to do with each other.

                        • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

                          *nods sadly*
                          But thank goodness for the exceptions!

                        • arimareiji says:

                          Funny, my wife and I were exact opposites from the usual in this regard.

                        • Avis says:

                          Rooster is actually pretty good about making sure the packages are intact and full. It’s what he gets that disturbs me. Left on his own, he’d eat nothing but “oven pizza”, burgers, and haggis. Yes, haggis. *shudders*
                          I’ve only managed to find three things that I make, that he likes. And they all involved meat or chicken.

                        • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

                          Mr X would be happy with part of a seared cow, and some fries!

                  • AferVentus says:

                    Hmmm, I’m male, dislike most forms of shopping (except in good bookshops when they exist), and practically never take the first item on the shelf. Indiscriminacy fail?

                  • The Moomin says:

                    I enjoy grocery shopping, I amble about for ages. Then buy the wrong thing anway because I’m in cloud cuckoo land.

                  • I am a male and I like grocery shopping at the farmers market… although I’d much prefer to grow the food myself whenever possible. Also, I hate cars.

              • Cloral says:

                Stereotype much?

              • JoMama says:

                Some men like to grab stuff from the rear. You can’t generalize like that.

            • arimareiji says:

              You don’t, but to a linear-thinking male manager this would make sense.

              Not kidding, I really was told almost exactly that once when asking about a half-full package of food.

          • Andi says:

            I move the chip bags around all the time…I’m a chronic “squeezer” to see how full the bag really is.

  8. maybe the content as settled

  9. YouKnowWhatFails says:

    Just stick a “Diet version” sticker on it, sell it to a fatty, and you’ve got yourself a win. ^_^

  10. Captain Arghy says:

    It’s a bag of chips for the invisible man.

  11. OMG TOAST!!! says:

    double fail:

    the name sounds like testicles as well as the unequal amount in each bag

  12. Sludge says:

    What, no rat???

  13. jeff says:

    not that great..

  14. Demut says:

    “Variations of the filling level are due to terms of conveyance.”

    Yeah, right.

  15. HighPingedLPB says:

    Wow.. I REALLY need more sleep. It took me like a while minute to realize what the fail was exactly. lol.

  16. Poornation says:

    Same amount of calories but half the bag.

  17. Phaet says:

    Who cares if it’s half-empty or half-full?! It’s DELICIOUS!

  18. dl says:

    Some settling of contents may have occurred during shipping and handling.

  19. 5 Snow Eagles says:

    The bag is half full.
    Good morning all. I hope everyone had a good Christmas.

  20. Manager says:

    BUY THEM! THEYRE SO INVISIBLE THEY EVEN TASTE LIKE NOTHING!

  21. r u seriously that stupid? its just transporting the chips, no one is going to think thats a fail, what idiot would take that picture. Its all made by the same company anyways

  22. Donald Zerli, Patriot says:

    The bag on the right should cost more, as it will not kill you as quickly as the others.

  23. Umm says:

    or GIRL who buys them. Or PERSON

    • failinator/co owner of the ztn says:

      ???

      • wozzle says:

        I think Umm is replying to the comment saying that the real fail is the guy who buys them.
        I guess I’d be a fail-person, then, because I’d buy them for the joke value!

    • Jami says:

      Trust me, only a guy would be dumb/oblivious enough to buy this bag. Women always check experation dates and how many of the chips might be broken before buying. Men just dump whatever they can find in the cart.

      Only way this would get sold to a woman is if she was blind. And then someone in the store would say “Oh, let me get you a different bag.”

      No need to be so PC. Men accept their failures to notice things. And women should embrace mens’ intellegence to notice said failures.

  24. TruckRentalAndStorage says:

    Well you may want to consider it for a moment of the time very much you want it for a week unless of course.

  25. GOD says:

    i dont get it

  26. GOD says:

    forget it, i figured it out, :L haha im a retard

    • Zhoen says:

      Don’t feel bad, I looked at the sign and the writing on the package for a good while before I saw the bag-of-mostly-air.

      (Of course, I didn’t comment until I figured it out… .)

  27. Grammar says:

    I’m reporting you to the grammar fail blog!

    “The real fail is the guy WHO buys them”

  28. Tiffany says:

    The price better be 66.6% off. That bag is only 1/3 full. And also, it’s a QUANITY fail, not quality.

  29. ThatOneKid says:

    INVISIBLE CHIPS!
    OM NOM NOM!!

  30. Daniel says:

    Sold by weight, and not by volume.

  31. The Moomin says:

    The one on the right is the most restaurant style of all. Same price as normal stuff, but you get less, just like a restaurant.

  32. gsshfxnsca says:

    It’s not a fail. Didn’t you hear? It’s just a bag of the new batches. Yup, they downsized again.

  33. Iva says:

    FAILBLOG FAIL….. this wasn’t funny.

  34. Hannah says:

    This seriously took me about 2 minutes of staring intently at the picture to find the fail.

    Fail.

  35. Molly-Rose PLunkett says:

    I love Nick Wilson. He is as attractive as Vladmir Putin. This is the truth. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BBBBBBAYSIDEEEEE!

  36. Nickolas Wilson says:

    I am deeply in love with Molly-Rose Plunkett….please merry me

  37. Molly-Rose PLunkett says:

    No Nick Wilson no matter how much I love you, I can not. You are just too attractive for me.

  38. Nickolas Wilson says:

    Thank-you for considering the humiliation I may face.

  39. Molly-Rose PLunkett says:

    Its okay all these people on the internets care deeply for us and so they will crown us with their sympathy. I might dance for them I am a good dancer in fact here is a video of me dancing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmmbnpaJqdI
    I am the one in blue.

  40. Nickolas Wilson says:

    Molly-Rose, you shouldn’t post videos of yourself on the world wide web

    • sauerkraut says:

      relax, nickolas, it’s just another name for the same p0rn spammer… it wants you to look at the video… but no real harm unless you pay it or reveal your personal info to it.

  41. MoonZapdos says:

    More like 33% White Corn, 67% O2.

  42. lyredragon says:

    ah, yes. New tostitos now TWICE the mass of the old style. Same flavor, same weight, half the quantity. It’s a physics connundrum in your mouth.

  43. Fun fact: The other two bags only have a few more chips than the gimpy one.

  44. tostitofreek says:

    Um… arent Lays, Fritos, Doritos, and tostitos all Frito Lay chips? SO, this isnt a fail. FAIL FAIL.

  45. Ignazio says:

    That bag is diet only. No fail

  46. tom1234wwe says:

    2 fails:
    The bags are in order of the number of crisps going from the right the smallest and onwards.
    What if the shop DOES NOT sell tostitos salsa? (Look at the bottom of the bag)

  47. Chris says:

    Took me a while to notice that.

  48. -M@ says:

    a guy wouldn’t buy those!! a woman on the other hand…
    lol.

  49. Shlub says:

    Recession!

  50. Timothy, the regular! says:

    IT’S RATIONING!

  51. Van says:

    I say buy them, then sue Frito Lay.

  52. jon byler says:

    the real fail is that you should say “who” not “that” when referring to a person

  53. Tyson says:

    Actually… the guy who buys them is gonna get paid. cuz you can sue the shit out of Frito Lay for selling stuff under the advertised weight. I lurned gud stuf in skool =P

  54. blumonk3ys says:

    the real fail is the guy who stocked it….. WHO STOCKS THAT!?!?!?

  55. qwertyuiop says:

    it wouldve been funnier if it said like “NOW 30% MORE!!!” or something

  56. Donna says:

    I notice that this was posted long ago . . . Just two weeks ago (mid-May, 2010) I spotted a similarly-scant bag of Tostitos in Wal-Mart. Yu’d think the manufacturer would have solved the problem in half a year.

  57. wken says:

    Reduced calorie version.

    For morons.

  58. brian says:

    wow i wonder if the fatty in the company who ate them or the manger who was caught on tape eating the sh*t out of them when no one was looking

  59. Men owner says:

    bando de gringo viado

  60. mask2697 says:

    If you notice, there also under the lays section (bottom center)
