Do you open potato chip bags with your knife?

[Centermass]

I just came to say



And I open my potato chips with double aught made of cast VG10.

I voted "another way".

If the whole bag is to be dispensed into a bowl I prefer the landscape mulch method:
Use a knife to slice the bag laterally at its midsection, roll it over and lift up the ends to dump out the chips.

If only a modest serving (it could happen!) is required, I use kitchen scissors.

Potato chips are tool-less by design. To involve a utensil is to deny their convenience perfection. We may as well cut open a banana.

But we do cut open bananas…

Banana tanto exists for a reason. Duh.

Sounds like we have a heretic on our hands. Of course you use a knife to cut a banana open. That way you never have that awkward squish opening that occasionally happens.

usually can rip most bags open at the top seam...

some newer types (kettle chips?) use extra thick bags, so knife is utilized of course

yall make so much ado about nothing lol

My Dad used to put the bag flat on the table then make a slice the long way down the front of the bag, Then a cut at the top and bottom ( H shaped) , then lay the bag out flat like a plate.

I pull the top apart gently. So I chose other.

Yes, Mylar bags fear me.

Barbarian here. Unless you guys are getting your chips in kevlar bags?

But we do cut open bananas…

Some of us even slice bananas. Multiple times.

 

[K.O.D.]

I think we need Lynn Thompson's input for this.

 

[Chronovore]

I have to admit, it depends. Some bags require slicing. These just got ripped open.

Like pull-tabs on canned goods, easy-opening bags have made society soft.

 

[Chronovore]

But when you’re done eating the chips, do you cut ribbons out of the empty bag just out of boredom?

Yes, and then tie them into pretty little bows.

 

[John_B]

I rip, but later use scissors to trim the bag down.

 

[jfk1110]

NOPE!

 

[A.L.]

Depends. If I open from the end then I do it by hands. Sometimes I cut the side open so that the bag becomes a tray (party mode).

I mean if you are carrying a knife, why pass up an opportunity to use it. If you have an auto knife, it's even more important to whip it out and watch your friends/family/co workers eyes open wide when the blade goes SNICK!

I'm kind of new here, and never did, but now that I know it's the correct way, I will from now on.

Been here since Friday, no "kinda" necessary.
