Nothing is more revitalizing for your day than an on-the-go bag of chips. Wherever you are, a quick flavorful snack will leave you reenergized for the day ahead! We love when people enjoy our packaged snacks anywhere, but we know not everyone loves the chip-dusted fingertips that come after finishing one of our snacks. Think Cheetos, Doritos, Lays chips and the aftermath that is coated fingers after snacking. 

We want to hear your creative ideas for enjoying our snacks without dusted fingers! We've seen accessory products such as finger chopsticks and chip fingers, but we want to see what ideas you problem solvers come up with!

These ideas can be new accessory product innovations, new packaging ideas that reduce chip-to-finger contact, or even new chip formats that reduce dusty finger aftermath. Please take into consideration food safety and choking hazards when proposing your idea.
