That's not sand, dummy, it's silica xerogel. Its porous nature allows it to effectively adsorb moisture.

If this moisture absorber is so good why don't they put it in crackers and bags of chips??

Sand weighs more and costs less than beef jerky. So by adding it in they can shave an ounce off the weight of the actual contents.
> Checkmate, capitalism.
No. Paying for beef jerky and receiving bags of sand instead is capitalism working as designed.

It's obviously a scam by big silica to run up the price by artificially increasing demand.

Different forms. Sand is primarily quartz, which is a highly ordered crystalline form of silicon dioxide
Silica gel is amorphous and therefore has different physical properties than quartz

Okay so sand is organized silica, and silica gel is like quartz with down syndrome. Got it.
