Keep their fingers clean with a potato chip grabber

A genius, innovative, quirky and fun present: a potato chip grabber.

The perfect gift for anyone who wants to enjoy some snacks while gaming, using their phone, or doing anything else that wouldn't do well with greasy cheeto-fingers.

I unironically bought this for myself years ago so I could snack while writing my blog posts.

This is the one I got!
