Stupid Chip Clips: When Can We Stop Inventing These Now? (PHOTOS)

You know what was a great invention? The chip clip. Unfortunately, as with all great inventions, millions of imitators have popped up to try to "innovate" and "improve upon" something that will hold your half-eaten bag of chips closed.
