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.
This is one of those cases where an image says more that 1000 words
Yeah I am confused as shit and I think I rolled my foreskin right off.
Dw, i gotchu
But OP’s LLM chatbot only outputs words to copy and paste
The real tip is in the comments.
I don’t get 4 to 5
You stick your thumb inside the fold on (4) and turn the fold inside out (5)
The video posted elsewhere in the thread explained it well
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

The absolute state of child labor laws in this countryThat’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?
Is there a wikhow or something for this? I need some pictures or diagrams or something
Or keep more clips around, and if that’s not an option, roll it up and store it rolled side down. I’ve never once done this technique and have also never ended up with a stale bag of chips that I didn’t just leave out.
It’s a neat little thing, but a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. It’s like when a hotel folds towels into animals for you.
Downvoted for AI slop
Who eats half a bag of chips?
Did you mean crisps?
Okay, I’m very confused
When you form the cuff is that inward or outside the bag?
When I flip the bag over, how do I avoid losing the chips?
This is written by AI.
An AI wouldn’t have made as many grammatical errors as OP.
Doesn’t all of the contents immediately fall out at step 2?
Yeah, this description is not going to work.
There’s about 400 videos on how to do this

I prefer the chaotic evil version of this where I twist the open end three or four times around and then set it upside down on top of itself so it stays twisted.

-
take your open chip bag
-
fold the top of the bag down about 2cm/1in. Do this 2 more times.
-
take the corners of the folded part and fold them toward the middle of the rolled part at an angle
-
the tricky part. We are going to invert the cuff we’ve made - like flip the folded part inside out. Push those corners in and flip the folded part over them.
This is the best description. Your gif embedded for visibility:
