A large Frito-Lay Tostitos bag. The chips are probably packed in
food-grade nitrogen. Try letting the gas from the bag extinguish a
candle...
Now, when will a scientific supply company sell low-cost bags of
gases? If it were one of the traditional educational-apparatus
makers, they would charge $20 per bag...
Hmmm... Each member of the class buys one big bag of Tostitos, and
then they have a chips-and-salsa party.
Btw, the older Tostitos are triangular, and the mouth of the Tostitos
brand salsa jar is narrower than the narrowest dimension of the
triangle. F-L is at least test-marketing smaller ones.
I profess ignorance about potato chip packaging, but N.sub.2 is
likely.
