When in Company, Is It Impolite to Flatten a near Empty Chip Bag, Tilt Your Head Back, and Pour The Crumbs into Your Mouth?

Let's say polite company. So not strictly formal but also not your old school friends. Are you better off just throwing the crumbs into the trash than to do this in front of the company you are with?

      I eat many packeted foods like this from the beginning, especially when out and about.

      It's the most hygienic way since it avoids using my hands which are dirty unless I've just washed them.

    pros pocket the bag so they can either take it to an empty room and do it

    … and then blow air into the bag and burst it showering the room with chip fragments and BBQ scented air…

    I think it is in the Australian Constitution. lol

    Probs a bit weird if the bag of chips was communal e.g. at a BBQ or something. I’d appreciate it though. Even better if it’s someone else’s bag of chips and you say “are you going to finish those” when they get towards the end of their bag and proceed to scull their chip crumbs.

    "Your disgusting" = "NO because the crumbs pierce small holes in the bag.Taking a dump starts to get messy your way"

    Another first world problem.

    Does "in company" include:

    • the close proximity of a person in an adjacent public restroom stall; or
    • when engaging with a person via MS Teams, Skype (et al)?

    Asking for a friend.

    Disgusting behaviour.

    You are supposed to pour the crumbs into your cupped hand and simultaneously tilt your head back and throw them in your mouth ensuring about 5% misses.

      This fella/fellete knows how to chip.

      And then you wipe your finger all over the inside of the bag to get the flavouring stuck on the sides, and do this multiple times whilst licking your fingers to get all the flavour.

  • stuff when its near empty, i pour a party bag in my mouth when its full

    100%. I would do it in front of the Queen King if I was at the coronation party. High tea with the emperor of Japan, you best believe I’m flipping that empty bag of chips up to get the crumbs out.

    up there with farting.
    go for it, if its with high ups in your company etc don't expect a promotion
    if its with your mates expect applause

  • Yes, but it is perfectly acceptable to cup your hands around your mouth like a megaphone and burp directly into someone's ear.

  • who cares, eat it however you like

  • OMG! As long as it does not get stuck in one's mustache?

    Just use a knife and fork like other civilized people do.

    is this the new "licking your fingers is a sign of social decay"?

    • Only if you do it before taking another chip. Finger-licking-good!!

    Open up and lick the bag clean after pouring the crumbs into your mouth.

  • This Is the Way

    What is the social etiquette for consuming the red powder at the bottom of the arnotts shapes pack?

    • The sophisticated approach is to shake the pack so red powder falls into corner of bag. Lick pointer finger. Dip pointer finger into corner.

    • Tear the plastic and lick the bottom and then wipe your face with the wet finger and then lick your finger.

  • Are you OK?

    I'll add that as a poll option.

  • Depends on the company… Probably not a great idea on a first date.

  • While we're on the topic, is it impolite to take the whole pav plate when there's only half a pav left, then lick the plate (and scrape with finger/teeth as needed) when you're done?

  • Tell me you're a bogan without telling me

    Bonus bogan points: exhale loudly and chew with your mouth open after you've emptied the packet and also vocalise and also swish your tongue around to catch the crumbs caught in front of your teeth behind your lips so there's a wet sloshing crunching whooshing "nyung nyung nyung" sound then loudly crumple the packet and throw it on the table where it automatically uncrumples
