“Do you hear that?” he asked, shaking the bag again. “I was in a rush.”

Once he opened the bag, he showed the camera and there was only a piece of a chip inside. The bag was just filled with air.

“I paid $1…I paid a fucking $1 for this,” he screams.

In the comments section, users made jokes and told him to contact Frito Lay.
