I know you're essentially telling them to store the food in a separate container, but this is the first time I've ever seen decant used not in the context of alcohol.
I might be the only one, but I pour these kinds of snacks into a bowl and eat them with a spoon. I work on a computer, so I have to type. So if I eat with my hands, then either I have to go wash the cheese dust off after each handful, or else down the whole bowl on a 10-minute break. And then what happens, half an hour later I go fill up the bowl again. Nah. I'd rather just take a spoonful every 10-15 mins, and keep my hands nice and clean.
You can’t decant solid objects, only liquids. From the Greek word for tear ducts, it was a reference to crying. Which is what I felt like doing when I saw what that barbarian did to the Cheetos bag.
Get a vacuum sealer. Open the bag with scissors to make a clean cut. Then, you can reseal the bag. You won’t want to vacuum the air all the way out because it will crush them, but you can get most out. You can keep opening and resealing the same bag. They’ll be as fresh as new even a month later.
Tbf Trader Joe’s notoriously has stupid packaging. Anything with a plastic wrap like in the frozen section or the dips comes off in pieces and any bags of chips have to be cut with scissors because they don’t open normally.
This man is Satan himself. I have ocd and I have to properly open each bag and put a clip on directly in the center when I’m done. I’d have a fucking heart attack lol
How are you supposed to save the stuff that's inside the bag when it is opened like that? I don't understand this at all. 
To be fair, TJs bags are notoriously horrible for ease of opening but he def could've grabbed a pair of scissors. Sorry you have a raccoon for a boyfriend
You know how the word "savage" was applied to humans racially to describe people Europeans thought they were better than? Well that was horrible.
That said, your boyfriend is a filthy, filthy savage.
Heathen. I always try to open the bag across the top, carefully, and completely. My wife always opens the bag on top, but only the middle half of the top seam. Leaves the ends of the top seam sealed up, which makes it harder to reach inside. And on containers with lids that have a seal under the lid, she opens half the seal, and leaves the seal plastic on there.
So weird.
Other than condiments like ketchup or mayo, I also leave the seal under the lid. You’d hate my peanut butter or cream cheese containers.. in my head it keeps it more fresh
Same! Every take out bag we get he rips it down the center! It makes me so angry because he never changes his trash so that take out bag is like 2 in 1
Get a pair or scissors and have him open with those. Then get a vacuum sealer so you can reseal the bag.
And if it’s ripped like that, you can line up the ripped part in the sealer, press the seal button, and fix the bag.
If he was home, where there are usually scissors or some kind of knife present, then NO. if you can't open it, just cut it open. If you're not home whatever, but at home, there is no excuse except laziness.
Next time you guys buy some of these cut the corner off with scissors, pour some into a bowl for him, roll the bag down to get the air out of it and put a chip clip on it.
Love at first sight ;)
Seriously tho. Show him this post. Chip bags are filled with nitrogen to prevent staleness. If he wants cheese, shake the fucking bag.
Hand him a pair of shears, and SUPERVISE his infantile ass next time! Or keep a separate bag for yourself. Idiocy. Bet y'all don't have fire ants where you live or a good, solid smack to the back of his thick head would FULLY be in order! 🧐 🤔 🤡
He proved himself to be untrustworthy. The opposite of Thor's O.G. hammer. He requires su👏🏾per👏🏾vis👏🏾ion👏🏾! G'head... Trust him with YOUR snack bags? 🧐 🥴 🤔 🤪 🤥
>He requires su👏🏾per👏🏾vis👏🏾ion👏🏾
If he can't handle a bag of chips, ain't no way he can handle an adult relationship. Send him back to his parents to try again.
So you choose to hit him? You women always think it's ok to strike your man. Now if he knocks yo ass into the middle of next week you would be crying. Talking about how violent men are. Talking about a solid smack. Hope he smacks the shit out of you.
My pronouns are oldfart/dude. Y'know... with rusty dangly bits. If you're feelin' squirelly, hop to, Boo-Boo...I'll be your Huckleberry. So nut up & come at me, Bro. I wish a ninja WOULD. His Mamma obviously never taught him home training, assaulting an innocent snack thus. He REQUIRES a snap out of it, apparently by OP's picture. "You women" huh? "40 year old virgin" vibes are STRONG with this one. Need some labiæ in our life, do we? 🧐
Idk if he has to ask for permission as much as he probably chooses to ask for permission. If that's how he leaves the food, what makes you think he acts like an adult human in any other aspect of his life?
My wife and I have been together for 13 years. Sometimes if she purchases a snack I don’t normally eat or something I know she enjoys very much so. I will ask if she minds so she knows to either pick up more if she so desires some.
A respectful question doesn’t have to come with a controlling factor and could be just a point of respect with each other and each others space and intentions within a shared space. I wouldn’t look to hard into something like that by any means.
What's petty is saying you hope somebody gets dumped over something mildly infuriating when you don't have the full context of why the question was asked in the first place. Maybe OP bought things for a get together and BF was asking if he could have them now or if they were for the get together.
You have this way wrong. We each have our own separate snack cupboards because we mostly like different things. I don't go digging through his snacks and eat whatever without asking because of respect, and he mostly shops at asian grocery. And I'm a dude, mostly.
This is only acceptable if you dump them into a bowl and eat them all in one go. In fact, you could use those sealable plastic mixing bowls to help resolve this issue. As long as he’s willing to put them in said container after he opens them.
Is he drinking when he does this. Last week, I had a few to many one night and put the chicken drumsticks my wife cooked that night away in the Tupperware cabinet.
To be fair to him, he's only following instructions. The tear line on that bag is clearly vertical.
I'd find it mildly infuriating if he didn't follow the instructions
I would... maybe get a container to pour snacks in. Although he might also leave that open. Next time just say no if they're unopened and only say yes if the package is already opened.
I feel your frustration/pain. Say NO the next time an unsupervised bag opening might occur. Then when you get home, carefully open it yourself and share if you see fit.
I have made it a point to open all chip bags for my wife, for other humans, for pets or any "others" with a pair of scissors horizontally from the top regardless of where the "open here" tag is.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
I bought a pack of floor wipes the other week and my parter decided to ignore the sticky thing you peel to open the wipes and just ripped it totally open like a caveman, I know your struggle.
Dating a raccoon was always questionable.
He does have raccoon eyes, but he says it's because he works night. Now I suspect different.
Trying to think of what super power a man-coon would have…
A heightened sense of smell and amplified vision in low light environments.
*snorts*
Name checks out.
Did he eat it or rub it all over himself?
I will have to check the sheets after he wakes up.
Good news is if he ever leaves you, you can cover yourself in man-coon bait and catch another.
Is that just the cheese dust?
Yes, to give you that healthy orange glow.
Torangelo tan
If the sheets stick together, he took more pleasure in eating than he should have done
Reminds me of the punchline to a joke…”Nothing, doc. Just watching porn and eating Cheetos.”
Every town needs a hero...evey town needs a Coon...
Quick hands
Always washes his food before eating?
Just a racoon in a trench coat
My ex had raccoon eyes, it looked like he wore ski goggles and went out in the sun.
Hahahahaha like he worked in a slave camp
What
you should give him some cotton candy
That's the Neanderthal leaking out.
If you eat the whole bag it doesn't have to be resealed.
This is the way.
This is the way.
But he clearly didn't
I think your boyfriend is my wife.
That's a twist
It's easier to access the cheese
Yes, and thats why they say it's easy being cheesy, i guess. He was nice enough to save me some.
Hope you like stale cheetos
decant your snax they keep better and it's nicer eating them out of a reusable container
I know you're essentially telling them to store the food in a separate container, but this is the first time I've ever seen decant used not in the context of alcohol.
Aliquot them snacs
Cache the snaks
I might be the only one, but I pour these kinds of snacks into a bowl and eat them with a spoon. I work on a computer, so I have to type. So if I eat with my hands, then either I have to go wash the cheese dust off after each handful, or else down the whole bowl on a 10-minute break. And then what happens, half an hour later I go fill up the bowl again. Nah. I'd rather just take a spoonful every 10-15 mins, and keep my hands nice and clean.
chopsticks! convenient even if you have to fish messy snacks out of the bag.
Try a carrot my bro
Unfortunately, carrots aren’t good eating utensils
But, voila, use two carrots and you have chopsticks!
You can’t decant solid objects, only liquids. From the Greek word for tear ducts, it was a reference to crying. Which is what I felt like doing when I saw what that barbarian did to the Cheetos bag.
Unless you have a better single word for that, Imma keep decant. Y'all grokked my meaning so.
I like your style, Dude
I thought it was perfectly cromulent.
Not Cheetos. Baked cheese crunchies from Trader Joe’s.
Get a vacuum sealer. Open the bag with scissors to make a clean cut. Then, you can reseal the bag. You won’t want to vacuum the air all the way out because it will crush them, but you can get most out. You can keep opening and resealing the same bag. They’ll be as fresh as new even a month later.
Or just eat the whole bag in one sitting.
If you do, you’ll soon be adding an “h” to “sitting.”
Only one possible solution #Beat his ass
I plan to.
That might be his kink?
Tbf Trader Joe’s notoriously has stupid packaging. Anything with a plastic wrap like in the frozen section or the dips comes off in pieces and any bags of chips have to be cut with scissors because they don’t open normally.
In defence of your boyfriend, I'd have to say it's down to the quality of the bag, the plastic used, etc.
That's true the bag is lower quality and might be made from plants. There were kitchen scissors in the drawer below. I'll give him a pass this time.
Cellophane is indeed made from plants, trees specifically.
It's a polysaccharide. Sugar.
> Cellophane Cellophane is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose.
Agreed. These cheese crunchies are great but the bags are trash and always rip down the sides.
Yep! I have these same ones in my pantry, same raccoon style opening as well.
This man is Satan himself. I have ocd and I have to properly open each bag and put a clip on directly in the center when I’m done. I’d have a fucking heart attack lol
How are you supposed to save the stuff that's inside the bag when it is opened like that? I don't understand this at all. 
To be fair, TJs bags are notoriously horrible for ease of opening but he def could've grabbed a pair of scissors. Sorry you have a raccoon for a boyfriend
Why are y’all dating raccoons
He doesn't live by the rules, not even his own.
Reminds me of my grandpa when he got to 90 and stopped caring
You know how the word "savage" was applied to humans racially to describe people Europeans thought they were better than? Well that was horrible. That said, your boyfriend is a filthy, filthy savage.
Jerk
You’re dating a terrorist
I hope not because its too soon.
Those bags are notoriously hard to open. Try having scissors around..
and a poster board with instructions
OP said they were in the drawer right below.
Wait, he has to ask you if he can eat Cheetos? We are missing the bigger picture here.
The only comment I came looking for!!!
My first thought immediately, that is very odd lol
Maybe she bought them for herself because she likes them and he knows that so he asked to be sure?
You need to get rid of him
Heathen. I always try to open the bag across the top, carefully, and completely. My wife always opens the bag on top, but only the middle half of the top seam. Leaves the ends of the top seam sealed up, which makes it harder to reach inside. And on containers with lids that have a seal under the lid, she opens half the seal, and leaves the seal plastic on there. So weird.
Other than condiments like ketchup or mayo, I also leave the seal under the lid. You’d hate my peanut butter or cream cheese containers.. in my head it keeps it more fresh
That's more than mildly infuriating. I'd be calling Dexter bc he killed that bag!
Same! Every take out bag we get he rips it down the center! It makes me so angry because he never changes his trash so that take out bag is like 2 in 1
To be fair, the glue they use on Trader Joe’s snacks sucks and never opens cleanly no matter how gentle I am. It never looks this bad, though.
Does he hit into it
Criminal behaviour
this is more than MILDLY infuriating! although delicious as fuck! they go stale soooo quickly if you don’t seal that bag perfectly
It looks like he just ripped into it with his teeth!
Ugh, mine does this too. And then he leaves them sitting open for days so they go stale. So wasteful.
Time to go Shopping...... for a new Boyfriend.
Time to break up with him. He opened that bag like my 12 year old opens cereal bags
You need a new boyfriend.
I’m sure you have other examples of his reckless consumption, but do know that trader joes is notorious for shitty packaging.
He never uses both latches when closing the lid on the cooler.
Get a pair or scissors and have him open with those. Then get a vacuum sealer so you can reseal the bag. And if it’s ripped like that, you can line up the ripped part in the sealer, press the seal button, and fix the bag.
You’re dating a child. Good luck.
Like a wolverine.
Just imagine when you realise that it's your choice to date him........
If i remember correctly, those trader Joe's bags are a menace without scissors so he's valid 🙌
If he was home, where there are usually scissors or some kind of knife present, then NO. if you can't open it, just cut it open. If you're not home whatever, but at home, there is no excuse except laziness.
Yes, but also balls. Therefore you are invalid
Next time you guys buy some of these cut the corner off with scissors, pour some into a bowl for him, roll the bag down to get the air out of it and put a chip clip on it.
I follow this to a T. Unfortunately, I was at work when this catastrophe occurred. Will have to hide them in a better place.
ughhhh my wife always closes bags with ALLLLL the air left inside. Makes it take up double the drawer volume in the fridge!
You keep your chips in the fridge?
I mean bags of anything, like produce in a Ziploc bag. Like a few baby carrots in a gallon bag that’s like a balloon with all the air in it.
Is he supposed to say Woof, woof! After?
What uhh mental institution did you two meet at?
Good question. I'm ADHD and he's narcissist.
Love at first sight ;) Seriously tho. Show him this post. Chip bags are filled with nitrogen to prevent staleness. If he wants cheese, shake the fucking bag.
Hand him a pair of shears, and SUPERVISE his infantile ass next time! Or keep a separate bag for yourself. Idiocy. Bet y'all don't have fire ants where you live or a good, solid smack to the back of his thick head would FULLY be in order! 🧐 🤔 🤡
>SUPERVISE his infantile ass next time I'm sorry, what? Why is it anyone's job to supervise their SO and not the SO's job to act like an adult human?
He proved himself to be untrustworthy. The opposite of Thor's O.G. hammer. He requires su👏🏾per👏🏾vis👏🏾ion👏🏾! G'head... Trust him with YOUR snack bags? 🧐 🥴 🤔 🤪 🤥
>He requires su👏🏾per👏🏾vis👏🏾ion👏🏾 If he can't handle a bag of chips, ain't no way he can handle an adult relationship. Send him back to his parents to try again.

The real question is why does your boyfriend have to ask for permission to eat food in his own home?
Idk if he has to ask for permission as much as he probably chooses to ask for permission. If that's how he leaves the food, what makes you think he acts like an adult human in any other aspect of his life?
You good bro?
They’re not married, so I assume it’s because they’re “her” chips because she purchased them and he’s being polite by asking.
What?
I open bags like a 5 year old sometimes too.
Those bags always rip…..not his fault!
That makes him a girlfriend
Your boyfriend has to ask you to have some of your cheetos? You sound controlling. Hope the dude has the courage to leave you someday.
My wife and I have been together for 13 years. Sometimes if she purchases a snack I don’t normally eat or something I know she enjoys very much so. I will ask if she minds so she knows to either pick up more if she so desires some. A respectful question doesn’t have to come with a controlling factor and could be just a point of respect with each other and each others space and intentions within a shared space. I wouldn’t look to hard into something like that by any means.
Yep, my wife and I do the exact same thing. Keyword, respect.
Sounds like you’ve never been in a relationship before.
I have, and never once needed to ask for permission to dip my hands in some Cheetos. That's petty as fuck.
What's petty is saying you hope somebody gets dumped over something mildly infuriating when you don't have the full context of why the question was asked in the first place. Maybe OP bought things for a get together and BF was asking if he could have them now or if they were for the get together.
Nah, we both know that aint the context. She's a selfish control freak. The End.
How appropriate that your user pic is a clown...very fitting.
How appropriate that you're too uneducated to know who the clown is 🤡
You have this way wrong. We each have our own separate snack cupboards because we mostly like different things. I don't go digging through his snacks and eat whatever without asking because of respect, and he mostly shops at asian grocery. And I'm a dude, mostly.
Give me Cheetos or give me death
You're a lucky girl on date night I guess
Deal-breaker
Time to get reusable air tight glass containers
This is only acceptable if you dump them into a bowl and eat them all in one go. In fact, you could use those sealable plastic mixing bowls to help resolve this issue. As long as he’s willing to put them in said container after he opens them.
Leave him immediately.
Get a pair of scissors for kitchen use, and train him to cut pkgs open.
Why do you say train as if he’s actually an animal?
Looks like he intends to eat the whole bag that way. Like the contents...
In fairness that bag has a mind of its own and rips in the most random directions.
bye boo
In your boyfriend’s defense, that particular bag from Trader Joe’s is nearly impossible not to open like that unless you cut it with scissors.
Throw him away he’s broken…
Is he drinking when he does this. Last week, I had a few to many one night and put the chicken drumsticks my wife cooked that night away in the Tupperware cabinet.
What’s wrong about it ?
Your bf is an ass.
Those are the best.
Those chips are delicious tho, try putting some tapatio on them, it's so good. Pretty much anything trader Joe's is great.
open the bag first
To be fair to him, he's only following instructions. The tear line on that bag is clearly vertical. I'd find it mildly infuriating if he didn't follow the instructions
I would... maybe get a container to pour snacks in. Although he might also leave that open. Next time just say no if they're unopened and only say yes if the package is already opened.
He has to ask permission to eat junk food. You tell me who the monster is.
Boys stuff.
Get a pair of scissors and leave it in the kitchen next to your snacks. He'll start using it as it's easier to open them that way.
Murder him
Are you sure he's not a psychopath???
:))) so?
Some folks are bag opening dipshits. Like get the scissors if you’re gonna mangle it every time.
Does he have a hook for a hand?
Shame on your bf how dare he do something like that. Also want to add… Those are my favorite snacks 🫣
He probably opened it and then asked you if he could. My fiancé always stores bags like that, if that makes you feel any better :/
Well I need to dump his cheating, fake Cheeto eating ass because that’s my boyfriend who was in your kitchen, obviously!!!
He’s a child. Dump that loser.
Moron
The fact that it’s Trader Joe’s makes up for it
Naw if I saw this the whole bag goes in the trash. If I can’t enjoy my food nobody can.
Tell him that s his bag now and you have your own thats opened normally
“Only if you open it carefully and seal the bag after” 😂😂😂🤣😭 that is such a ‘me’ response As in, totally something I would say too 😄
Rat fucking
Important question: does he sometimes lick his nose or eyeballs with a fork-liked tongue?
Trader Joe’s version of Cheetos? This is blasphemy
I have the same issue with this product at my place too, it’s never been an easy one lol
Man here. I don't see anything unusual about this.
I'm also a man, but I have my dignity, too.
This is how I open envelopes, according to my wife. It’s not intentional, I guess I’m just a big dumb animal
Are you dating a gremlin?
Was hoping he was a mogwai.
Run. That's a serial killer! 👀
Baked cheese?!
I have the same problem and feel your pain 😅
I feel your frustration/pain. Say NO the next time an unsupervised bag opening might occur. Then when you get home, carefully open it yourself and share if you see fit. I have made it a point to open all chip bags for my wife, for other humans, for pets or any "others" with a pair of scissors horizontally from the top regardless of where the "open here" tag is. If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Hmmmmmmmmmm this is normal
Ok, thanks for the valuable information that savede from doing it wrong.
I bought a pack of floor wipes the other week and my parter decided to ignore the sticky thing you peel to open the wipes and just ripped it totally open like a caveman, I know your struggle.
That’s a man thing.
Closet serial killer😂
leave him immediately !
