The Chip : How Two Americans Invented the Microchip and Launched a Revolution

• Paperback with picture of the two inventors.
• 5 x 8

The cost of having to throw out stale chips, snacks or bagged foods is almost criminal. In fact, a rolled bag top with a chip clip closure can still let in air and moisture that robs food of its crispness and great taste. But these quick, hand-held resealers make it easy to seal in freshness and flavor. A special heat wire and some light pressure creates an airtight seal that preserves food and prevents spilling. Bags can even be resealed multiple times to prolong shelf life. So weigh all the evidence and give your chip clips some time off for bad behavior, then savor the locked-in flavor instead. Operated by 2 AA Alkaline or rechargeable batteries (not included). -Seals a variety of plastic bags, such as, OPP (Oriented Polypropylene), PP (Polypropylene), PE (Polyethylene), aluminum-lined bags and more.
