Absolutely not. Herpes is either transmitted by touching the sore of an infected individual, or having direct contact right before an outbreak occurs. Are you worried that the herpes may have gotton on your friend's fingers and transferred the virus to the potato chips? That would be highly unlikely. A combination of the salt on the chips, and the virus being exposed to the air would kill it.

∙ 10y agoYou will not get herpes by eating someones food.
There is very low risk of that happening.
It's possible if you share things like cups or utensils with some one that has a visible cold sore. But it's more likely to be passed by being kissed on or around the mouth by some one that has it.
If they have a break out of cold sores on their mouth (caused by oral herpes) then you can get oral herpes on your genitals, if they give you oral sex while they have any signs of a cold sore. Oral herpes is very contagious while there ar any signs or symptoms of a break out.
It's safer to have oral sex while your partner does NOT have a visible cold sore.
