Though diners would likely assume that the free chips offered at Mexican restaurants are fresh, a woman took to TikTok to ask if viewers thought they were reused. As she devoured a basket of chips while recording her commentary, the woman proceeded to call it \u201cnasty\u201d if restaurants actually gave customers chips from another table. Viewers have since reacted to her TikTok video, sparking a debate about what to believe. Viewer said they throw their trash on excess chips so they don\u2019t get reused TikToker Lex was out at a Mexican restaurant when she recorded herself asking, \u201cDo y\u2019all think they reuse chips at Mexican restaurants?\u201d Lex proceeded to mention how big the chip baskets are, saying that employees know customers won\u2019t eat everything given to them. She then said she believes the chips are recycled after the tables leave. Continuing her dialogue about how gross it would be if it were true, Lex said, \u201cPeople\u2019s hands and sweat all over it, nasty!\u201d Those who viewed her TikTok video began sharing their thoughts on the topic, saying, \u201cNot my bowl. I eat them all and ask for seconds.\u201d As well as, \u201cNo, but the chips that don\u2019t go out from the big warmer in the back do get poured back into a big bag for the next day.\u201d One person even mentioned that they throw their trash on top of the pile of chips left over because they don\u2019t want them to be reused. Some people even believed that the chips would get stale if they were reused later on. While others agreed that eating chips that other customers picked at had unlocked a \u201cnew fear\u201d for them. There were also viewers who had previously worked at Mexican restaurants who weighed in, saying that some places may reuse chips while others don\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woman sparks debate about \u201cnasty\u201d Mexican restaurants reusing free chips TikTok: lexmarieartA woman sparked a debate on TikTok after asking if her viewers thought Mexican restaurants reused their free chips.
