The last of the potato chip crumbles
When the chip bag is empty, cut the bottom off before putting it in the trash.
Pets, particularly dogs, will try to eat the crumbs and the salt. A number have been found dead by their owners after suffocation in the bag.

It's all about the technique.

1. Make sure bag is fully opened, i.e. pull heat sealed seam apart to creased edge of bag

2. Maintain sharp creased edge, this is the funnel mechanism

3. Using hand hold closed funnel mechanism and tilt and shake bag to stage crumbs close to funnel end

4. Carefully place bottom point of funnel on lower lip,
open mouth wide, and raise opposite end of bag delivering delicious crumbs into mouth

5. Enjoy your mouthful of goodness


The problem with this method is that the top half of the bag is always crumpled up from having been rolled/folded to close it to keep the uneaten chips fresh. By the time the bag is actually close to empty it is so disfigured that getting a nice straight crease is impossible! Hence the tasty crumbs ride a bumpy roller coaster to my awaiting face, instead of into my mouth! Also being a rushing opener (gotta get to them tasty chips fast), the opened part of the bag is rarely nice and tubular and often has tears and folds along the edges.

Of course, my brain still tells me it is possible to get the crumbs from the bottom of the bag to my mouth, despite my previous history of failures. I must be insane since I keep doing it and expect a different result each time!!

1. Eat whole chips
2. Throw away bag with crumbs
3. ???
4. Profit.

Static electrical charges and the nominal reactions between the material the bag is comprised, and the salt content of the crumbles, and both attractive and repelling forces at work.

The speed and density of the crumbles, the variables of the distance between the crumbles and the surface of the bad are a very complex solution to fathom or plot.

Or, you just suck at dumping crap in yer pie hole.

You guys are geniuses, I never considered that there might be a way not to wear a light dusting of chip detritus on a semi-permanent basis. I just thought it was part of life.

Try cutting the top 2/3 of the bag off. Less "roller coaster" travel, less time for the other scientific theories mentioned here to take effect, closer to get hand/fingers in.

Works for me. YMMV.

hold bag up so all the crumbs fall into one corner

Cut off the opposite corner

Rotate cut corner into mouth

Shake bag to get all crumbs to fall into the cut corner.
