( My searches in the SDMB for old threads never result in anything, I am a moron. So, 1000th apologies.)
New invention: Creating a less noisy potato chip bag. I have the slogan: The chips are crunchy, our bags are not.

Less noisy chips would be appreciated here. The bag thing might be possible, but I guess there’s nothing we can do about loud eaters.
I mean, some people can make water sound crunchy.

To piggy back on the OP, they could also make the bags easier to open.
I know some folks who grab the bag on either side of the top seam, pull and the bag just pops open. These are the same people who can break off the top of a banana and peal it without making the end of the fruit all mushy.
I, on the other hand, pull at the seam, my hand slips and I slap Girlbysea with the back of my hand.
Others place the bag on a flat surface smach the bag and it explodes open. They break nary a chip. Me? I munch crumbs when I try.
Would it be so tough to put a tear starter slit in the top of the bag? They could use them in packaging rubbers too.
