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.

On an unrelated topic, here is one of my favorite satirical videos:
