No offense, but isn’t this something that can be answered with minimal common sense?

 

I mean I’ve seen others do the same thing in my office, I just was asking more from an intern pov. But ur working in Ib so ur douchey response makes sense.

 

If I eat one chip in an average of 5 chews and I am doing 5 chews per minute like I said then that would give me a rate of 1 Chip Per Minute (assuming there’s about 10-12 chips per bag) that would take abt 10-12 minutes per bag. Not very efficient but will keep my co workers from being annoyed

The official chip rules from the Banker's Handbook say you can eat Pringles when others are around as they are less crunchy than the forbidden Kettle Cooked super crunchy chips. Goldfish are acceptable as well. Celery and carrots must be eaten in the lounge.

I’d just take a 5 minute walk around the office or sit somewhere else and eat them even if no one cares I get so self conscious about anything that crunches

 

If you are an intern, you aren't entitled to snacks; that is the bigger issue: eating snacks that are for the working class. 

No, go ahead and snack; most people snack at the desk all day long. Trust me, someone in the older generation will tell you or your superior if it's causing issues, or in the newer generations, they'll go to HR to address the issue.
