Storage Tips

Potato chips should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale. Once opened, seal the bag tightly or transfer the chips to an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing moisture and losing their flavor. Storing opened chips in the refrigerator is not recommended, as it can cause them to become soggy.
