It's not a big deal as long as it's just some tiny old crumbs. But what would you do if you owned entire stores worth of good grain, flour or beer? Besides, the commandment applies not only to homes, but to all Jewish businesses and institutions alike. It would make no sense to destroy all of their cereal-based supplies! Luckily, there is a loophole. You can sell all such supplies to some Gentile (usually through a rabbi acting as a middleman; [https://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/sell_chometz_cdo/jewish/Sell-Your-Chametz-Online.htm you can even do it online]) for the duration of Passover. You don't even have to remove them from your home or your business; it suffices that you put them all in a locked storage room you're not going to enter during the entire holiday. For example, each year the Israeli government sells the entire state-owned stock of cereal products to a single Muslim guy for the symbolic amount of 20 thousand shekels, only to buy it back a week later.<ref>{{Cyt
