People Eating Out Of Potato Chip Bag

Sister Golden Hair — Sat, 04 Apr 2015 03:27:38 GMT

Yes, I know some will say this is petty but this is just a fun thread.

I don't like it but husband and both sons do it.

This may seem crazy but my husband and I have our own bags. One thing we like different kinds. But I don't like anyone eating right out of the bag.

Get a bowl

Many say the manufacturers designed the potato chip bag to be as 'crunchy' as the product when eating straight out of the bag. Gives the customer a 'multi-sensory' experience so they eat more. Clever, huh?

I always eat out of the bag. My husband and son do also. Now this does not work at my mother's house. It's her pet peeve. Especially if you stand and eat out of the bag. She gives that look and you know you better find a chair and a bowl.

I eat out of the bag. I'd hate to waste a bowl and have to wash it later. (Maybe I'm lazy, though.)

I have teenagers. Ever since they were little they have put their chips/snacks in a bowl. I taught them for portion control. I don't measure a serving, I just didn't think that it was OK to eat an entire bag of chips out of a bag. Really, nobody should.

It doesn't bother me if family does it here at home, but it creeps me out when I'm at a pot luck and see people digging in with their hand even though there are tongs nearby.

I don't eat the entire bag in one sitting, I simply don't like dirtying dishes unless necessary. But I understand the point of portion control and applaud your efforts in teaching your children about it.

I don't like that either. I think it's the same thing as 'double dipping'. Ugh!

I personally would have a hard time putting the bag down and may possible eat it all.......when I have a bowl I know I have to eat it slowly because I can see when I am coming to the end!!!

I found that eating out of the bags leaves grease on the back of my hand, so usually dump some chips onto a plate or paper towel, neater this way.

I used to buy the single serving bags of Lays, that was my portion control, unfortunately, I would buy more than one at a time, and usually, I would break open a second bag, so much for portion control. I knew I should only buy one, but I didn't want to still be hungry for them at the end of one bag, horrors, so bought a spare.

Yes, this can be challenging! I'm not a potato chip eater, but I do enjoy Cheez-Its. It's somewhat easier to keep myself on track with these because I can individually count how many I eat. I typically cut myself off after 20.

I don't like it, either. The chip bag sounds drive me nuts, and I don't consider myself a particularly sensory sensitive person.

Alright Ladies! I'm not proud but I have eaten an entire bag in one sitting. Is this the norm? No but maybe once...or twice a year after a stressful day I rush home from work and grab the bag and devour it. I think the crunch helps release the stress. I'm not proud of myself afterwards but it is what it is. Haha Chips for dinner and bbq breath and a bellyache the rest of the night.

Ha ha ha! I'm glad I'm not alone with this quirk. My ex-husband used to lick his fingers, and then put them back in the bag. It totally grossed me out.

Love all your posts

I was taught to put things like chips in a bowl.

To me, it's like drinking milk right out of the carton. In fact, I caught my husband doing it one night.
