WANTED: full bag of potato chips
There are hundreds and thousands of
starving children out in the world, searching for anything that will satisfy
their growling stomachs. Being the generous souls that they are, Lays has given
us the gift of beautiful yellow plastic bags of air PLUS a few free chips
thrown in there! Other brands, such as Doritos, Fritos, and PopChips, have
recognized this tactic and thought maybe
instead of selling whole chip bags we can help society by giving them more
oxygen to breathe. And it totally worked; lines of customers filled aisle
ways to purchase these luxurious air bags for ONLY three hard-earned dollars.
These brands have also made the effort to make the bags out of pure metalized polypropylene meaning they cannot
be recycled. How thoughtful of them, right? Now we don’t have to worry about
finding a recycling bin; we can simply dispose of the bag whenever and wherever,
whether it be on the grass of a park or the coast of a beach. Honestly the
turtles and fish on these beaches are so ungrateful for these beautiful accessories
we give them on a daily basis.
Incorporating satire
into writing, in my opinion, conveys the point the author is trying to make by
utilizing humor to make the situation more light-hearted. The audience is less inclined to understand the point if the topic "registers no irony" (Williams 936). In addition, the
writers often do this to criticize a certain group or groups of people or
things. In my situation, I criticized chip brands with the use of humor,
exaggeration, different punctuation, italics, and even irony.
