You may not think much about how to store potato chips, but they can become inedible if not stored properly. Professionals at Life Hacker have revealed a simple method to keep potato chips fresh and crunchy.
Apparently, storing potato chips in the freezer can extend their shelf life for a few more months due to the low moisture content in the chips, meaning that the freezing temperatures won't have their usual impact. The chips will not freeze solid, but they will get cold - and more importantly, stay fresh. Of course, you can let them return to room temperature before consuming them.
Make sure to store the chips above other frozen products and ensure that the package is sealed properly; otherwise, this clever trick may not be effective, according to The Sun newspaper.
