The Best Way to Eat Crumbs From a Bag of Chips

Eating chips and sauces is an orderly activity. There is no need for utensils or plates as your sauce’s serving system is completely edible on its own and the sauce comes in its own bowl. With the exception of a tissue paper to wipe off greasy hands, all you need is a bag of chips and a tube of sauce until you get to the bottom of each one.

The bottom of a bag of chips is a nasty place. The leftover pieces and crumbs are often too small to work like scoops, but throwing them away feels like a waste of time. (However, they make a pretty decent topping for baked macaroni and cheese.) Luckily, there’s an elegant, if a bit silly, way to eat the last bit of chips along with the last bit of sauce, all without touching your fingers. filthy. You just need to turn on the spoon.

This little hack comes from one of my favorite TikTokers, @oldscoolkevmo , a sorority chef who takes snacking very seriously. Instead of trying to dip the chips, Kevin puts the chips in a bowl, scrapes some of the sauce with the back of a spoon, and then squeezes the sauce into the bowl with the chips. The chips stick to the sauce, allowing him to eat the last bits of both with ease.

It is suitable for potato chips and onion sauce, pita chips and hummus, tortilla chips and guacamole or bean sauce. I bet it will work with graham cookies or crackers and the last bit of mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, or that cannoli cream . If you can get it to stick to the back of a spoon, you can use it to pick up bits of chips, so get creative and play. I find smoking a bowl helps to inspire, especially when it comes to snacking.
