Ah, there's no snack quite like a packet of chips. Whether it's smothered in flavouring or just sea salt – they are guaranteed to be a flavourful experience. Or are they?
Sometimes, the crunch is there, and the salt is there, but where's the flavour? According to a recent hack on TikTok, you could be missing out on the full-flavoured chip-eating experience without even knowing it.
So, what is this magical hack, you ask? Next time you're opening a packet of chips, try opening it upside down.
As we all know, chips are usually stacked upright on supermarket shelves, and according to Justin, an Aussie TikToker, this causes the flavouring and seasoning to settle to the bottom of the bag.
In his video, Justin flipped a pack of chips upside down, showing viewers how the seasoning went from the top of the bag to the very bottom.
He then concluded the video with the urgent declaration: 'Tell your mum, dad, brother, sister and everyone you know!'
But aside from opening your bag of chips at the bottom, did you know there's another trick to make sure you're getting the most out of their seasoning? By shaking the bag, you help to distribute the seasoning evenly, so each chip gets a more consistent flavour.
The process of shaking your bag of chips can also help to remove any excess air that may have been trapped inside. This helps to prevent the chips from becoming stale, and it can also make them feel more crisp and fresh.
Also, the movement caused by shaking the bag can help to break up any clumps of chips that may have formed, which can also contribute to a more even distribution of seasoning.
If you're worried that the bag might burst from all the shaking, don't worry - it's highly unlikely! Chips are typically packaged in bags that are designed to withstand some level of pressure, such as being jostled during transportation.
The amount of air inside the bag is also usually carefully controlled to prevent the bag from bursting.
However, it is possible that a bag of chips could burst or rip open if it has been punctured or torn - shaking it could cause it to break open and spill the chips everywhere, so just be sure to handle the bag gently and avoid shaking it too vigorously.
While a bag of chips might be tempting with its delicious flavour, it's important to remember that they can be loaded with unhealthy amounts of salt and sugar. Consuming too much of these can have negative effects on our health in the long run.

Key Takeaways
