Ayala explains that he went to the store to grab some munchies and decided on a bag of Lay’s potato chips. After returning home, he began shaking the bag, which sounds empty save for a few chips.

“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.
