I don’t think much about chip clips… I never had a reason to. Then I tested the GRIPSTIC™ – a new type of chip clip. I reviewed these food clips in 3 different sizes and here are my thoughts:
Is the GRIPSTIC™ better than your average chip clip?
Well that depends. The GRIPSTIC™ does work well. It has full coverage on the top of a bag (more than just a little clip) which is beneficial in keeping food fresh. It can grip snacks of all sizes – that is if you buy all of the GRIPSTIC™ sizes.
Compared to a chip clip or a rubber band -I like that they are less bulky than a chip clip and that they don’t stink like rubber bands do. Ewww. Seriously, have you ever wrapped up your food with a rubber band? Your food will smell like rubber band! That just grosses me out. So a HUGE bonus for no-rubber-band stink!
The GRIPSTIC™ can seal chip bags, snack bags, coffee bags, cereal bags, frozen food bags, veggie bags, baking and dry ingredients bags, and more!
But, I do find it annoying trying to find the size that fits the package the best. And what if you are already using that size on another bag? I am kind of a OCD person regarding organization and it would bug the heck out of me to have a too long of GRIPSTIC™ on a bag of chips, so it seems you need to have quite a few in stock. But maybe that is just me?Overall, I think they are easy to use, reusable and lock the entire top of the bag for a good seal. GRIPSTIC™ is a good solution from clips or bands to keep snacks fresh longer.
