Using scissors to open a potato chip bag (1 Viewer)

The allure of the "new topic" button is simply too great for you, isn't it.I think they offer self-help groups for a problem such as this.

I thought we had a thread specifically for stuff like this.

I have to use scissors to open them because I apparently am not strong enough to open them with my bare hands?

You look lost. The Shark pool is that way <--- and then that way -->.

At least you got the reference.

 

[eoMMan]

Seriously?

 

[Sack Boy]

Otis can let the fiance take care of things like this. Wimens are great with handling packages.

 

[shuke]

Totally gay if its any normal brand like Pringles. But NOT gay since its a premium brand.

Watching someone cut open a Pringles can with a pair of scissors would be interesting.

Are me and shuke the only two people here who do this?

Do what now?

[=Smackdown=]

Not as gay as eating a slice of pizza with a fork & knife.

New York or Chicago?

New York.Fold it and pick the damn thing up and eat it

Is it gay that for certain premium brand chips, like these, I have to use scissors to open them because I apparently am not strong enough to open them with my bare hands?

:rainbowbag:

No.If one could put together a video compilation of my misadventures with chip bags, I'd be an internet celebrity.

 

[bakes]

As soon as I read the thread title I knew *exactly* what brand of chips Otis was talking about. Women open up faster for Woz.

Pringles cans open easiest with a Sawzall, btw.

I just bought a bag of these(yesterday) and they had a small slit near the middle crease of the bag so it will tear easily and correctly. Just FYI.Either way, not gay.

I seriously don't remember every discussing on here how I open a pringles can.

What I hate are these Target/Archer Farm bags. They're reclosable and have a place below the top seal to open the bag. I always forget and try to open them like a regular bag. Not easy but I get them open...but then they're not reclosable.

Dammit. This thread is making me crave Bugles, Munchos, Krunchers, cheesy poofs...

 

[Mr. Retukes]

I'm just here to bump the Google index for "pistoning furiously".

I've got a sawzall handy--but for Pringles??!!!

Thanks, and yup, discovered this earlier in the thread. Game-changer.

Your hands to big to do simple tasks? Sorta like Shaq not being able to shoot a free though even though his height gives him a major advantage?

The salt and vinegar version of those chips rock

 

[Hoh]

Can I go ahead and assume that the bag has not been previously opened already?

 

[Otis]

Related: I recently learned how to open those little single serving Tylenol/asprin packages. I used to really struggle with those. It's pretty brilliant once you figure it out.

 

[Apple Jack]

everybody needs to get on board the archer farms model of a zip lock on every bag.

 

[GregR]

Those Kettle Chips have a fairly complicated "tear here" perforation located on the northeast corner of the bag.

I call BS. There is no way a plastic potato chip bag can sense its orientation to north and move a perforation to keep it on the northeast side.

Maybe if it was a bag of Gardetto's...

[grateful zed]

two tips for you guys.

open the bag from the bottom so all the spices fall back over the chips again.

if you are going to eat the whole bag, open it up all the way and use the flat foil as a plate.

 

[flapgreen]

Only if you were being slammed from behind while doing it.

 

[FUBAR]

I've recently had to open the large David sunflower seed bag with scissors or a knife. 

I fear for my manhood. 

 

[pollardsvision]

The northeast slit really isn't that helpful. I don't have very big hands, but using the slit still doesn't leave enough room to comfortably reach into the bag. When I do use the northeast slit, I still tear back the top (in the West direction) to give myself a little more clearance. 

Mostly though, I just use scissors. Or my handy butterfly knife if I'm not feeling masculine enough to deal with the shame of scissors in that moment.

Is this part of the potato chip diet

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Open bag with hands.

when bag is < half full scissors are used to trim the bag down so you don't have to reach so far.

/that's it

 

[flapgreen]

Do you eat 20lb bags of chips? I've never trimmed a bag of chips down after it was half eaten.  That's weird 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Don't ever change Otis.  Don't ever change.

 

[Dickies]

Those bags are impossible to open by hand.  They either explode, or they start to open and suddenly tear all the way down the side.  Then every time you go for a chip the tear grows.
