A particularly delicious at-home hack is going viral on Twitter — and blowing snack-lovers’ minds in the process.

The concept, captured in a short, 15-second video, offers a seemingly foolproof method for sealing potato chip bags.

“Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi shared a version of the hack on Twitter, and the video instantly went viral. It’s now been viewed more than 11.5 million times and spawned all sorts of recreations.

“How am I just finding out about this now?” Lakshmi wrote.

The hack involves zero clamps, clothespins or rubber bands, and is extremely simple. Basically, it’s nothing more than a slightly more complex way to fold up the bag.

But it seems to work well, as countless videos show snack-lovers flipping their bags upside down and shaking them — all without breaking the seal.

Today reported that the hack was originally shared on TikTok by user Heidi Tuley, but it since spread across nearly every social media platform.
