If potato chips are kept out in the open air for 2 to 3 days, they will most certainly become stale. Chips should always be kept in a cool dark place in order to stay fresh and crispy.

Why do bags of chips contain more air than chips?

First, to clarify, the "air" is actually pure nitrogen gas that keeps the chips from rotting during packaging and transport. The reason there is "more" air than chips is so all of the nitrogen can reach all of the chips so half of the bag isn't spoiled because only half of the chips were exposed to the gas.

Can a person die of eating stale chips?

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.
