How many times can this be posted?

[–]cathartica 7 points8 points ago

The first time I saw this there were some pretty great comments. Along the lines of:

"I kept rolling and it didn't work, how do I know how to stop rolling?"

"1. Open 2. Roll once. 3. Roll twice. 4. STOP ROLLING YOU IDIOT"

[–]Derporelli 29 points30 points ago

At least one more time.

I posted this here sometime in late 2011.

[–]eudaimondaimon 206 points207 points ago

Better Life Pro-tip: Use an actual bowl and pour a small portion into it so you don't mindlessly eat through the entire 8-serving 1,600 calorie bag of junk food in a single sitting.

[–]arrozconplatano 26 points27 points ago

But it fits my macros

[–]qizarate 28 points29 points ago

Finally some sense.

[–]jacobman 13 points14 points ago

Make sure to hold the bowl while you eat out of it so you can fully appreciate the uselessness of this so called "tip" from the OP.

[–]TheAdoraAlles 6 points7 points ago

Or have friends! Wow!

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points ago

I feel like the ROLL instructions are unclear.

[–]Baron_Wobblyhorse 102 points103 points ago

The instant snack bowl: an incredible solution to a problem that nobody has ever had. Ever.

[–]flamants 47 points48 points ago

"I want to eat these chips, but holding a bag of chips is so hard! what should I do, reddit?"

[–]barrelfever 23 points24 points ago

TIL the majority of snack lovers enjoy the feeling of potato chip grease sliding gently over their knuckles as they withdraw from the bag.

[–]whoooooooooooooosh 7 points8 points ago

Or, ya know, you can pour them out.

[–]kevinstonge 13 points14 points ago

pour them out where? onto the floor?

[–]DeadAlready 7 points8 points ago

I usually aim for my mouth, but yes, the floor is where they end up.

[–]donttouchmyfeet 4 points5 points ago

Or into a bowl, you heathen.

[–]LooneyLopez 1 point2 points ago

Just cut the bag shorter with scissors.

[–]barrelfever 2 points3 points ago

Finding a pair of scissors and carting them around with you to enjoy the simple pleasure of eating potato chips is more convenient than rolling up the bottom of the bag? Come on, now.

[–]manys 1 point2 points ago

relevant

[–]Leprecon 1 point2 points ago

I had the problem. Last week I went to chill in a park with some friends. It was really warm and nobody wants crisps powder on their wrists while fishing in a bag. We didn't have a bowl. The problem was there and the op was the solution.

[–]YouDontWinFriends 21 points22 points ago

Thank goodness. Bc I had a really hard time eating my bag of pretzels.... Out of my bag of pretzels.

[–]forceduse 2 points3 points ago

I know right.. now, if only I had a bag of pretzels.

[–]xanxitto 0 points1 point ago

Had a bowl of pretzels. Ftfy

[–]GhosttHardware 5 points6 points ago

This is a lie! Unless whatever is in the bag is the size of an Oreo you just crush whatever is in there.

[–]lrlrlr 20 points21 points ago

PLEASE NO MORE OF THIS NOOO MOOOORE

[–]I_are_God 9 points10 points ago

How do you roll up the bottom without crushing the bottom snacks?

[–]DerpityDooDog 13 points14 points ago

By spilling some on the top!

[–]kevinstonge 0 points1 point ago

Keep going until you spill them all, then you have a plate for your chips

[–]neTed 1 point2 points ago

It doesn't work for every type of snack.

[–]Dr_Salt 0 points1 point ago

Prick the bag with a pin, to allow the nitrogen to escape, then turn the bag up-side down and roll as you would with it open.

Turn it right-side-up, open, and enjoy.

[–]Leprecon 0 points1 point ago

You can still feel them through the bag and push them up somewhat.

[–]Malcolm9806 14 points15 points ago

Also xpost from /r/stonerprotips

[–]KoaliaBear 3 points4 points ago

Thanks, never knew about that subreddit!

[–]Eist 3 points4 points ago

Just use a bowl! They are like 20c from Goodwill.

[–]GrumbleMumbles 6 points7 points ago

But then you have to wash the bowl, which is a waste of water and energy.

[–]Eist 3 points4 points ago

this is /r/LifeProTips, not /r/frugal

[–]Desolator001 12 points13 points ago

LPT: Don't eat potato chips.

[–]MVolta 2 points3 points ago

[–]ChristianM 6 points7 points ago

LPT: Don't eat crap like that.

[–]Skaft 1 point2 points ago

Thanks, that was new and informative info!

[–]Freezerburn 1 point2 points ago

Stop eating junk food.

[–]real-dreamer 1 point2 points ago

What? How do you roll what is that?

[–]heyachaiyya 1 point2 points ago

LPT: don't eat junk food

[–]Phospholipids 1 point2 points ago

also, use chopsticks if you don't wanna get your fingers greasy

[–]Pinkeller 2 points3 points ago

[–]Zeberoth 0 points1 point ago

So you went from having a bag of crisps to having a bag of crisps?

[–]Musekal 0 points1 point ago

USE A BOWL! I'm a heavy toker and even at a [10] I can manage to use a bowl.

[–]30percentAlpaca 0 points1 point ago

This is better when combined with folding the top over into itself. When you fold up the bottom, eventually you'll start losing chips into that fold on the bottom. Just fold in the bottom slightly - just enough to make it stand. Then fold down the top inwards the rest of the way. Keeps your hands clean(er), and you dont lose chips into the sides.

[–]Nezperdia 0 points1 point ago

This gets reposted pretty much every week by now.

[–]manys 0 points1 point ago

TIL "Cheese Doodles" are real.

[–]staythepath 0 points1 point ago

What are those things in those bowlbags you call "chips".

[–]sooneday -2 points-1 points ago

LPT - Don't eat chips.

[–]Pherro 0 points1 point ago

I can't work it out is there a video?

[–]icespawn -2 points-1 points ago

I let this repost slide every time, because this is genius and EVERYONE should know about it.

[–]xmnstr -1 points0 points ago

This really confuses me, those are Swedish snacks. Are you Swedish?

[–]Stine90 -2 points-1 points ago

I have never been able to make this work for me :(
