Yeah, this sounds like a case where if they packaged it like other chips, it would just mean instead of throwing out a small amount of plastic per chip eaten, you’re throwing out a chip bag worth of plastic along with most of the other chips after you and maybe some friends take one.
It’s like buying the bigger size that’s slightly more expensive only to realize it would have been cheaper to buy the smaller one because the extra stuff got thrown out after it went bad plus there’s extra packaging, even if the value per unit is worse.
