In the US, you see some necessary compromises when it comes to packaging. Some space is wasted in order to protect the product, for example, in bags of potato chips, a certain volume is air to keep the chips from turning into potato dust.
In China, this is taken to a whole other level with cereals. You see a relatively small box of cereal. You expect at least 75% of the box to be ... cereal. What you find instead is a sealed bag that takes up 50% of the volume in the box filled 50% with cereal. This is why Chinese people are thin. Calorie-dense foods like hamburgers and potato chips are just too damn expensive!
