When my wife and I were first married, we lived by the seaside for a good few years. The gulls were not so aggressive in those days and would only politely come up to us and look expectantly at us and the chips - and wait....They often succeeded in charming their way to get a few from us, LOL!
I have read, however, that in recent years gulls in some areas have become much more assertive, even swooping down and stealing food from passers-by. So I can see why this sort of bag has been designed.
By the way, for any American readers, it would appear that this Australian article uses the word "chips" in the same sense as in the UK. In the USA, they are called "French fries". However, that term is a complete misnomer; I know, as I have lived in France for many years. The French would absolutely turn their noses up at American style "French fries". The French call chips "frites" and they are mostly similar to the chunkier UK style "chips".
Sorry for the slight deviation from topic, Catherine.....
