The sound your snack betrays you with at the quietest possible moment.
means To form small wrinkles, folds, or ridges — or the soft rustling sound such crumpling makes.
from From Middle English crinkle, a frequentative of the older verb crinken, 'to bend or curl up,' related to crank and the wider Germanic family of words for things twisted and bent. That same root coils through cringe and crinkum-crankum (an old word for anything full of twists), all sharing a sense of the bent, the wrinkled, the not-quite-straight.
