a clip is a clip

My rip-off thought of the day: bag clips vs. binder clips 
In my current state of budget consciousness, I've become annoyed with products that I feel have no true added value to consumers. Let's look at the blatant rip-off that is the bag clip.

The problem: Keeping snack food bags shut to retain some freshness.

Potential Solutions:
1. Tape: Some packages have those strips of tape that they urge you to use to keep packages closed. It's pretty handy but again, the stickiness may fade if you get the snack food grease on the bag or on the tape. And tape isn't as reusable, so it loses some value.

2. A rubberband: It'll close the bag but also crush the contents inside. On the bright side, you'll get more pieces of the snack.

3. A clip: It will keep the bag closed and it's reusable! So a clip is the winner. Nothing wrong with that other than the fact that all a person needs is a clip!

The bag clip or the chip bag clip is just a clip that is marketed as something to keep your chip bags or snack food bags closed. Some companies may slap on some rubber on the clip to make it more comfortable. But think about it, if you are using it to keep your greasy chip bag closed, it's likely you'll get grease all over that
rubber, so what's so great about that? If you don't have arthritis or some other ailment affecting your hand strength, then do you really need a rubbery clip that will take all of two seconds to take off and
put on the bag?
