Opening a giant bag of chips is exciting until you look inside and realize it is mostly air.
Emphatic exclusivity with puro
In Latin America, people frequently use the adjective puro directly before a noun to mean "nothing but", "entirely", or "pure". It is an expressive, everyday shorthand used to emphasize that something consists exclusively of one thing—like a disappointing bag of junk food.
Because puro acts as a descriptive adjective here, it must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies (puro, pura, puros, puras).
| The packaging is big because they sell nothing but air. | El empaque es grande porque venden puro aire. |
| It was pure junk that they had to buy. | Fue pura porquería lo que tuvieron que comprar. |
| That fried snack is pure fat. | Esa fritura es pura grasa. |
| This junk has nothing but calories. | Esta porquería tiene puras calorías. |
| That product has nothing but preservatives. | Ese producto tiene puros conservantes. |
