File: bad bag.png (915 KB, 1000x1000)

This type of bag is bad. Chips that come in this type of bag are starting to stale before you even open the bag, and they get inedibly stale by the next day. Why do they still make this bag? Why is this bag so bad?

I always air fry tortilla chips before eating anyway so they're at peak performance and warm

i should clarify that this bag is bad no matter what brand of chip it contains. I have had several brands in this bag and they all have the same pre-stale, quick-staling problem.
the bag is paper lined with blastic and i think there must be micropores like in rice bags that are leading to staling. My secondary theory is the big "Chip Windoe" can be leading to staling through membrane-osmosis of air.

i have some bestaled chips i want to eat so i will try your re-crisping method.
But i wouldnt have to if this bag wasnt wo bad.

>Why do they still make this bag?
Because crunchy wypipo think paper bag good. We're taking about a subsection of humanity who pretend natural deodorants work on anything more than wishes and dreams. Stinky-ass motherfuckers spending $14 for a stick of nothing.
>Why is this bag so bad?
Not plastic lined. Other, similar brown paper bag tortillas have the bags lined with plastic to help preserve texture but crunchy granola type whites will buy the expensive-ass stuff not lined in plastic to feel better about themselves while ingesting an inferior product.
Example: my wife and I and one other couple live in a crunchy granola white people area. We're the only four who are Asian or part Asian (I'm a quarter, one of the other couple is half Asian). We had a Memorial Day block party cookout last month and one of the crunchy granola white couples brought
• farro salad that went uneaten
• marinated tofu puffs that went uneaten
• organic, avocado oil tortilla chips (in an unlined paper bag) that went uneaten and
• no fucking salsa
This is just what crunchy types do. That, and wear toe rings and man bracelets they got in Sri Lanka when they went to see the Bodhi Tree.

Red blob brand chips have a particularly bad bag. Others are better.

That changes the calculus here.

I've never had a problem with the ones that are actually lined. You might just have legitimately bad luck here and I'm sorry if that's the case. Nobody deserves stale tortilla chips.

thank you for knowing that
>>22066512
when i say plastic i dont think it's proper plastic.. this is a different brand, but there seems to be a coating on the inside of the paper that isnt quite its own plastic entity.
in any case it doesnt work
>>
>>22066545
Could be waxed?

>>22066492
not even a good bag of chips can compare to a bowl of hot and crispy ones. if I'm in my house those chips going in.

this also works for stale cereal and probably a lot of other things

Have you tried different brands? Your sexy zoomette named brand may be being merchandised by wagies who don't give a fuck (when it was me I wouldn't). Picrel brand contracts out their own merchandisers who earn a commission for doing shit right.

And/or it's difficult to get a proper seal between the paper and the plastic.

>>22066547
this is PE coated paper, OP is just buying stale chips.

Kirkland used to use these bags before they did shrinkflation and went to smaller full plastic bags. The trick to these bags is to partially open one side only and pour out what you need. You need a good binder clip like the ones in offices and not a chip clip. They sell big ass binder clips with heavy PSI that creates a hell of a seal. But compared to full plastic, yeah they'll go stale quicker. With my method the issue is mitigated quiet well, however.

i saw these chips come off the pallette and it's a new brand this store just started carrying. I've also had this happen through at least 3 different brands with this type of bag so if I'm buying stale chips every time then that's a problem with the bag, which i have definitively declared is bad.

i stopped using these bags entirely because i cant trust them. so i just pour leftover chips in a gallon ziplock now.

this brand is okay but i think that has something to do with their chip composition as well. most of the problems i have are with brands that make thin chips with nixtamalized corn. mission makes a thicker chip that is naturally more resistant to staling..
