Words describe things.  If the words you are using do not easily convey what you are trying to say, you're not using the right words.  Pick more appropriate words.

It's not brain science.

I think his brain just exploded.

Or what do you call this furry thing on the microphone?

A chinchilla.

If something says "plant based" then the main ingredient has to be plant.  Everything else is just weasel-talk to attempt to justify the ridiculous suggestion that it doesn't have to be.

A vegetable chip fried in beef dripping, blood and minced kittens is still plant based.  Plant: noun; an organism belonging to the vegetable kingdom. Based: verb; founded (one definition).

"Plant Based" is not a marketing term to my knowledge, unlike "hot dog" or "chinchilla microphone", therefore it has to be read literally.  "Plant Based" means based on plants !!

A chip is BASED on plants.

Your knowledge is wrong.  It is a marketing term used specifically for people who eat Plant Based diets.  It helps that it doesn't have the same negative connotations as vegan.  It is all marketing!

Plant Based should actually mean that the chips live in a town called Plant

and re: gluten free chips. 

presumably people are aware that many frozen chips and frozen roast potatoes are coated in flour? Indeed  think Burger King used to do that. 

DefaultM

Yeah you've got to either find ones that aren't, or buy ones with a specific gluten free label which will cost you triple what a normal bag would cost.
Gluten free food in the 2000s was vile as well, I don't know about now.

The ability to admit being wrong is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Btw, the furry thing is call a Deadcat. 

A Hotdog isn't based on dogs either, so why does a chip has to be based on a plant, because we all know, unless you do not, and have not been paying attention and have not read what we have said many times in this thread, or just plain stubborn like that fake tan, election denying idiot across the pond, that a chip is traditionally made with animal fat.

A Plant Based Chip denotes that this version is not made the same, not made in the traditional way.

RaymondLin

I mean is it that hard to understand?

A Potato is a plant - FACT
A Chip is a processed food - FACT

To turn Potato into Chips, you need OIL + HEAT + Potato - FACT

A Chip  in this country is traditionally made with animal fat - FACT

Therefore one who buys chips  (without any other description) would expect it is made with animal products.  As you cannot have chips without oil, see FACT above.  It is like if you are allergic to seafood, you do not go to a chip shop to buy chips, because you know they cook fish in the same oil.  It doesn't need to tell you that, we all know it.   So if a chip shop says these chips are free from fish....you don't think fish is growing with the potato in the ground, do you? Or may be Emp does!  

Same thing with Plant Based Chips.  

It is only a 2-ingredients product.....It's not rocket science is it?

This thread is hilarious.

If you're disagreeing with Emp then you should write to Burger King because they're taking the same stance as him with the Plant Based Whopper cooked in cow fat.

What’s quite poetic here is that the word “chip” has about 8 different meanings in the English language
