As a kid, my mom made this a few times a month. I think the best part was crushing up the chips. She made me empty the bag into a giant bowl and use a plastic tumbler to crush them. That was because the first time I did it I tried crushing them in the bag and it exploded. The noise woke up my baby brother and that was the last exploding potato chip bag we ever saw.

Very few of you, I bet!”
