are you a salt then vinager, or vinager then salt?
Worst. Vinegar. Spelling. Ever.

Easy 10, that's lunacy of the purest kind, and will only result in a surplus of salt in the upper layers of chippery. One should always apply the salt first, and then use the vinegar to disperse and infuse the saline goodness through the rest of the bag. This method is particularly pertinent to chips purchased for consumption as God intended, i.e. from an actual chippy to be consumed on the go, since any further applications of salt necessary will not be possible.
I could not disagree more wholeheartedly if you trussed me up in a public lavatory, smeared my buttocks in goose fat and shoved a ferret down my shorts.
The idea that the applied salt is somehow magically "transported" around all the chips on a cascading river of vinegar is as fanciful as it is preposterous. That is unless you actually douse your chips in so much vinegar that the popular potato-based snack / platefiller is left positively swimming in it, rendering the entire project a soggy, sodden MESS. Pouring the salt in first, without having firstly vinegered them, merely results in the bulk of the crystals falling directly to the bottom of the bag, missing the chips entirely.
No sir. The correct manner in which to apply the condiments in question is to pour a modest amount of vinegar on the chips, then shake the bag so as to "toss" the chips and disperse the vinegar. Repeat this process with the salt. The vinegar, already in place upon the chips, acts as a natural adhesive and will provide a balanced dispersion of the salt.
I would posit that the adhesive yet comestible qualities that you are so fanatical about are more than adequately provided by the film of frying fat left on the surface of the chip. To suggest that grains of salt could plummet through any worthwhile bag of chips without striking any is at best deranged and at worst suggests a world-view so detached from reality as to be a menace to decent people.
If you insist on turning this into the kind of dispute that can only truly be brought to a satisfactory resolution by means of a drunken brawl in a pub carpark I ask you to name your venue sir.
