N, you cannot die from eating stale chips.Moisture is the culprit when discussing stale potato chips. The chips themselves are very dry due to the fact that they have been fried and rid of almost all moisture. When a bag of chips is left open, the air in the room circulates into the bag. When the air comes into contact with the dry chip, the chip will soak up some of the moisture in the air. The longer a bag is left open, the longer the chips are exposed to the moist air. Stale chips are basically chips with too much moisture. They lose their crispness.
That bad smell is from the oil in the chips going rancid.
If air gets into a bag of chips, the chips will become stale. The chip clip was invented to keep bags of chips sealed.
Nitrogen is the gas found in potato chip bags. The gas prevents the chips form oxidizing and going stale.
When potato chips are cooked, they are fried and have gotten rid of all moisture. When potato chips are left opened the moisture in the air is absorbed by the chips.
As the chips are normally deep fried in beef dripping rather than oil that you use at home.

Potato chips do not require refrigeration and they won't last any longer if you do refrigerate them - they will still get stale - but they would last longer if you freeze them. Although why you want to keep your potato chips for such a long period of time, I don't know.
