Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for July 26, 2023

And after that, there were two chips left intact.

time to pick the chips from the ground then now. HMMMM, EXTRA TASTE!

Now she has a bag of chiplittes.

So the “air” is nitrogen? https://www.onsitegas.com/blog/why-are-my-bag-of-chips-half-full-of-air/

I’ve known people to make a habit of opening bags of chips that way. I’ve found the method to be less than optimal.

We call it “shrink-flation” in this household and it’s not just confined to potato chips. It’s in a lot of products these days.

My approach is to strain trying to open the top without tearing it down to the base, s my wife looks on 9and,after five minutes, asks if she can help). Followed by a festive rain of chips.

some settling occurs due to handling and shipping

…and the contents have settled

and found a quarter of a bag of chips!

Scissors :-)

Who says we aren’t paying for air already.

Mashed potato chips, anyone.

It shouldn’t do that unless: You’ve smacked the sides and have therefore probably smashed the chips, or; are at a much higher altitude than where they were packed.

“Crushed into shreds, and you’re to blame. You give bags, a bad name!”

It eases opening the bag if you stick a pin in it first to vent the internal air pressure. Also, it doesn’t crumble the chips the way popping the bag does….

I’ve got the perfect gift idea for Broomie: a monster sized box of bubble wrap. She’ll be entertained for hours on end.
