Japanese crisp bags turn black and white due to Iran war • FRANCE 24 English
Global oil prices rose further on Tuesday with Brent crude climbing near $110 a barrel, as a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz continues with the US and Iran both rejecting the other’s ceasefire proposal. Meanwhile, Japanese snack giant Calbee has decided to temporarily switch to black and white packaging for some of its products, including crisps and prawn crackers. This is due to instability in the supply of printing ink, which is made using petrochemical materials.

In this case you might say it takes a village to raise a farmer. 😉
I'd rather have black and white packaging with same price than higher price and current packaging
Looks better
The Japanese government is lying by claiming that there is an adequate supply of both oil and naphtha, despite major companies warning of a critical situation. According to a recent poll in Japan, over 80% of the public does not trust the government.
3 euro for eggs is not a fair price
I’ll trade you some naptha and dyes for some expensive Pokemon cards 😅
During 1900s Japan murdered, raped , human experimented on 35 million people.
Why has Japan never acknowledged it or apologized for the atrocities?
Japan needs to apologize.
Our farmers in Canada should adopt the same business model as these farmers in France. Our farmers are not being given proper payments for their produce. Time to push down on these giant grocery chains. — remove the middle man.
Japan should try growing some corn, specifically Mexican varieties as they double for fuel as well as cheaper quality oil for emergencies. Certain corns even have medical applications, though most corn types have no use other than tradition.
I've just discovered the chips displayed in this report. The delivery service, GOPUFF gave sample of them. They're good 😋
Believe that if you want to….
Yeah. Develop dyes that are not oil based.
Japanese with their creativity :
the packaging going back to the 1920's
To the delight of Kevin Hassett, the American public get to pay for higher gas and grocery prices with their high interest credit cards. This econonomy is on fire . . . Like a dumpster fire, that is.
These crisps are soooooo good
That would be so weird to see, you'd feel like things are turning black and white until you open the bag
It bring me back my childhood, naive perspective of everything in the world back then was black and white
Japan is leading edge in economic decision making for snack foods
Black and white package is a discreet protest
