The one on Archer Farms (Target) chips works very well. A nifty idea. I
wonder why more don't use it. I suppose it adds a cent or two, but keeps
the chips fresh longer without having to find a chip-clip in the drawer.

Yes, I think they all should.

if there were a way to define a particular class of foods that would most
benefit from being re-sealable I would be out there gathering signatures for an
initiative...just think of the impact on landfills

This is veering a bit off, but I don't have the issue of going stale for tortilla chips anymore. I fry them up fresh every time. It really isn't much hassle, and they taste so much better than bagged chips. Cheaper too, and I can decide what frying fat to use, instead of Frito-Lay, et al. using whatever combination of commodity oils that they see fit.

At least it involves cooking! But then you always have to have corn
tortillas (unless you make those from scratch, too, I suppose) on hand
whenever you want tortilla chips.

Having tortillas on hand is never a problem for me, because they're a
staple in my house... but frying them up is a big production that I
absolutely hate. Frying is messy. Then you have to drain/dry the
fried chips which involves newspaper and paper towels and deal with
used oil. Ugh! No thanks. I'll make quesadillas with my tortillas
instead.

What I have started doing is this. I brush (lightly) with oil one
side of a corn tortilla. They don't have to be totally covered with
oil. I place the first tortilla, oil side up, on a plate. I brush
another tortilla with oil and place it oil side up. Some of the oil
from the first tortilla transfers to the unoiled side of the second
tortilla. Repeat.
Heat a cast iron skillet and drop each tortilla, oiled side down, into
the skillet. Flip when it begins to really bubble. How far you fry
the second side depends on your cooking application.
There's no oil to throw away and the cast iron appreciates further
seasoning.

I have it on some sandwich meats and bags of fresh salad mixes. I'd
say at least half of them are so cheap/chintzy that they don't even
work once. Some never open in the first place, some never close again
after they've been opened. Great idea, poor execution.

All my cat snacks were designed by some idiot. I can pull back both edges
and then I have to use scissors. I do have a chip storage container. Worst
things, frozen waffles, frozen veggies, saltine crackers. I got lots of
clips now. Many things I shove into zip locks. Some cheese packets with
zips, I can barely pull them open.

Yep, that's been my experience as well. Some of those zippered things
are impossible to get open. More often it just tears right below the
zipper so I wind up putting sandwich meat (or whatever) in a *real*
ziplock bag.

I'm really glad to see the above comments from several posters. I
thought that it was just me and my clumsiness. I, too, zip-lock
sandwich meat/cheese and frozen veggies (those large bags from
Costco).

The ones on the sides of sliced cheese are worthless. They always quickly
fail.... I am impressed with the Archer Farms blue chips bags. I have had
about 4-5 bags over the year; they actually open and close well, so many
built-in ones do not.

The ziplocs with the "zipper" that pulls them open and closed are great. I
love those...

Yes. They need to redesign some of those sliced cheese bags. I usually
have good luck if the zipper is on the top but not on the side like one kind
that Costco sells. If you're not careful, the seal fails, air gets in and
you have dried out cheese slices.

Yes, that's what I like too. The one with the little handle that does
the zipping for you.

I can remember the days when shredded cheese came in plain and zippered
bags. You paid more for the zippered bag and I did. I was struggling with
one such bag when my dad grabbed it from me and said he would solve the
problem. To my horror, instead of even trying to open it, he grabbed a
knife and slit it open. I was like... But... I paid more for the ZIPPER
and you just ruined it!

My parents tend to put everything into zippered bags which they purchased.
Even tiny dabs of food. To me this is an expensive thing to do. Yes, I
will put leftovers in there. And if it is something big from Costco that I
have more of, I will. But I can't bring myself to do that for a bunged up
bag. Maybe if it will fit in a sandwich bag. But the heavier zippered bags
are not cheap! So it bothers the peewaddins out of me when the bag won't
open or seal properly.

I buy the Kirkland brand sliced turkey. Although it is not a zippered bag
it is I think supposed to reclose but it doesn't do so fully. I just stuff
it in a bread bag and tuck the end under.

lol... I know this feeling. Makes me frown when the ziploc bag won't close
and I spend too much time trying to make it work. Maybe NASA will develop
something better someday.

I wash and reuse ziplock bags. Not the sandwich sized, though.

I'm with you on this one -- most of those built-in zip locs don't work
worth a farthing, or they seal in too much air, and the zip close bags
from the supermarket deli counter are so flimsy they tear before you can
use them.

For at least 15 years, for things like potato chips, pretzels, and
cereal, I use clip-n-seals (http://clip-n-seal.com/) in various lengths.
They're great.

I just use clothespins. I bought a new pack and keep them in the kitchen
drawer just for closing up bags of whatever food.

That's my drill too. I don't understand it either, what's so hard
about making a decent resealable package? Every now and then I come
across one with a "slider handle" for lack of better terminology,
which is the absolute best (IMO). I prefer them over pinch closures.
Too bad they're so scarce. Ziplock style seems to have cornered the
market.

And don't forget, each of the zippered closures have a right and a
left. You have to zip them in the right direction in order to close
properly.

Safeway brand chips have the ziploc...works great!

I see the resealable packages in a lot of products. Many of them don't
work very well but it's the thought that counts, I guess. What works
great is the resealable-flap package that comes exclusively with Oreo
cookies. I don't know how it works but it's some kind of unique
high-tech adhesive technology.

The various sliced cheese I buy from Walmart is in those flap-seal
packages, works very well.

I've never seen any other product that has this packaging. This seal
does not involve a zip-loc type seal. Instead, it's some kind of
electo-static adhesive that uses Mylar sealing surfaces. OTOH, it might
work great for cheese. OTOH, it might not work if there's moisture on
the seal.

There is another unique seal that uses tiny knobs on both surfaces. To
seal, you just press the surfaces together. It works better than those
zip-loc seal because you don't have to have a perfect alignment. I'm
hoping that this replaces those hard to use and unreliable re-closeable
packaging in use today.

The encounters I've had with that type were not good ones. They are

It's an unusual package because they fail to work a high percentage of
the time. The lock thingie has to be made bigger and wider and the
packaging has to be reinforced to be more sturdy. Even that won't solve
all the problems. We just need a new method of re-closeable packaging.

The minute I open any kind of food in 'resealable' packaging, the remains go into a ziplock bag or Rubbermaid. Most of those recloseables are a struggle and waste of time.

I had a brand of cat treats once which required a Houdini to open them, and an Einstein to work the re-closure. I dumped em all into a glass jar ( which are becoming rarer ) with screw on lid. ( Cats abhor plastic.)

I keep all those lidded glass jars which candles come in - great storage containers and see-thru to boot.
