stale chips
Limp, flavorless snacks
Stale chips are potato chips or tortilla chips that have lost their crispness, typically from exposure to air.
The texture becomes soft or chewy rather than crunchy: These stale chips taste like cardboard.
Figuratively, stale chips can describe anything outdated or past its prime, though this use is uncommon.
