CRISP lovers, prepare to have your minds blown, because it turns out we could have been eating the tasty snack completely wrong.
According to foodies, the right way to enjoy your favourite packet isn’t to just rip it open and dive in… but to flip it upside down first.

Why? Because all that delicious seasoning and flavouring gathers at the bottom, claim crisp fans.
They say it naturally drifts to the bottom of the bag, meaning the first handful you grab is often the plainest.
By the time you reach the crumbs, that’s where the real punch of taste has been hiding.
The fix? Simply turn the bag over before opening, give it a little shake, and you’ll get perfectly seasoned crisps in every crunchy bite.
The hack was shared by TikTok user @brant_new_, who wrote: “I will forever be grateful to the girl on here who said to open your bags upside down because that’s where all the flavour has been sitting.”
He claimed that crisps have “never tasted better” since he made the switch.
Fans of the hack have been quick to comment on the hack, with some calling it a “game-changer” and others admitting they’ll “never eat crisps the old way again.”
One said: “Trying this next time.”
Another added: “I’m gonna give this a go.”
Even the Doritos brand commented on the video, which has racked up 49,000 likes, saying: “I can confirm this is true babes.”
However, one said: “I always turn the bag upside down a few times lmao.”
So whether you’re Team Salt & Vinegar, Cheese & Onion, or a die-hard Ready Salted fan, this simple trick could make your snack time a lot tastier.
It turns out we’ve also been eating Pringles all wrong.

PRINGLES HACK
The makers of Pringles have revealed that only ONE side of the crisps are sprinkled with flavour when they’re made.
A Pringles spokesperson told The Sun: “Many people think that Pringles are seasoned on both sides.
“In fact, only the top side gets a sprinkling of seasoning in the factory.
“When Pringles are stacked in their can, some of the seasoning rubs off onto the next chip – which is why they’ve always been a little uneven.”

The side that gets the flavour addition is the ‘top’ of the Pringle – the convex side, to be technical about it.
This means that to maximise your flavour hit, you should turn the crisp upside down before popping it in your mouth so that the seasoned side comes into contact with your tongue.
That said, there’s no rule-book on Pringles eating – some may prefer not to have such an intense salt and vinegar or Texas BBQ hit when chomping down on the popular snack.
