Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method/process for prolonging the edible life expectancy of a food product using a device/container comprising in combination: an inner non-recycled paper bag positioned and contained within an outer non-recycled paper bag, thus forming an air pocket there between, with each said paper bag having an open position, a closed position, a pre-determined thickness and an open end, and a closure means, said method/process comprising the following steps of; 
 a obtaining said food product of choice;    b. positioning each said paper bag into its open position;    c. inserting said food product inside said inner paper bag;    d. folding said open end of each said paper bag, thus forming a fold;    e. attaching said closure means in a secure manner so as to hold said fold in a closed position;    f. removing said closure means;    g. unfolding said fold;    h. positioning each said paper bag into its said open position;    i. removing a portion of said food product;    j. repeating steps b-e; and    k. repeating steps b-j periodically until said food product is completely consumed, 
 whereby;  
 said food product will keep fresh and the edible life expectancy of said food product is greatly prolonged.  
   
   
   
       2 . A method/process for prolonging the edible life expectancy of a food product using a container/device comprising in combination a paper bag made from non-recycled material and a closure means, said container having pre-determined thickness and an open end, with the method/process of use comprising the following steps of; 
 a. obtaining said food product of choice;    b. positioning said paper bag into an open position;    c. inserting said food product into said paper bag;    d. folding said open end over upon itself, thus forming a fold;    e. attaching said closure means in a secure manner so as to hold said fold in a closed position;    f. removing said closure means;    g. unfolding said fold;    h. positioning said paper bag into said open position;    i. removing a portion of said food product;    j. repeating steps b-e;    k. repeating steps b-j periodically until said food product is completely consumed, 
 whereby;  
 said food product will remain fresh and the edible life expectancy of the food product is greatly prolonged.  
   
   
   
       3 . A container/device used for prolonging the edible life expectancy of a food product, said container/device comprising in combination: a closure means; and an inner paper bag positioned and contained within an outer paper bag; thus forming an air pocket there between, with each said paper bag having an open position, a closed position, a pre-determined thickness and an open end, said open end of each said paper bag being folded over forming a fold and said fold being release ably held in a closed position by said closure means, 
 whereby:    when said food product of choice is stored within said container/device, said food product will keep fresh and said edible life expectancy of said food product is therefore greatly prolonged.    
   
   
       4 . The container/device of  claim 3  wherein each said paper bag is made from non-recycled material.  
   
   
       5 . The container/device of  claim 3  wherein said pre-determined thickness is between 0.004 and 0.006 millimeters.  
   
   
       6 . The container/device of  claim 3  wherein said closure means is a clip member having an elongated recess therein, said elongated recess being of a shape and size to slidably release ably retain said fold in said closed position.  
   
   
       7 . The container/device of  claim 3  is produced, packaged and sold as a complete kit.
