Do you eat your potato chips with chopsticks? Evidently the younger generation in Japan does, much to the chagrin of the older generation.
[M]any of the younger entertainers on the variety show panel agreed with the convenience store staff, they said it’s normal to eat potato chips with chopsticks.
Older guests on the show were stunned. Unable to hide their surprise they shouted out, 'I can't understand this at all!', causing a chaotic scene on the programme.
To be fair, they have good reasons.
One of the young guests explained that when gaming and eating chips at the same time, the controller or smartphone screen will get sticky and dirty.
I quickly took to chopsticks when I came to Japan and these days I use them for just about everything. They are convenient! But I can't say I've ever thought to use them for eating potato chips.
