Why YSK: because no one likes stale snacks, and let’s be real, those bag clips disappear into the void right when you need them. This trick works for pretty much any crinkly bag. Here’s how: 1. Fold the top edges of the bag down into a small cuff. 2. Flip the bag over, so the bottom of the bag is facing you. 3. Roll the cuffed part down tightly, away from you, towards the contents of the bag. 4. Once you’ve rolled it down a few times, grab the corners of the rolled section and fold them in towards the center. 5. Then, flip it back over. The weight of the bag’s contents should hold those folded corners in place, creating a surprisingly good seal. It takes a bit of practice but once you get it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Your chip consumption might actually go down because you’ll stop stress-eating the whole bag to avoid staleness. probably not, but a guy can dream.
I’ve worked in a restaurant. My job, at every spare moment, was to fold-seal little paper bags filled with goodies precisely this way. I’ve likely made thousands of these folds, if not tens of thousands. 50x4/7x365x4, if I had to guess. I’ve attempted this with chip bags dozens of times and never managed it. Seeing this feels like a taunt, you son of a bitch
That’s quite a large bag of chips, though
That was the only thing that kept the wound within my ego from festering. “It’s a different material! The bag’s larger. It can’t be me.” But it is, and I’m angery
Edit: the plastic just flexes and slides too much! One side always comes undone. This is ridiculous and probably a hate crime
They used double-sided tape! They’re a phony!
This method is a little bit different than what I use, this one folds the corner in before rolling down the bag, What I do, even in my chips bag, I roll it down, then fold the corners in, then roll it out once over the folded corners. Maybe that would be easier for you to do to this kind of bags?
