popcorn, nuts, cookies and tortilla chips are just some examples of well-liked snacks. However, the most popular of all snacks are potato chips. People would agree that it just takes one chip to tease the taste buds creating a craving for more. This tasty treat was accidentally invented in 1853 in Saratoga Springs, New York.
George Crum was a chef in a restaurant where french fries were a popular menu item. One day, a diner complained that the fries were too thick and soggy so he sent the plate back to the kitchen. George Crum hoping to satisfy the customer, made a thinner batch of french fries. The man was still unhappy. Crum felt insulted and was angry. He decided to annoy the fussy man. He made paper-thin fries which he cooked in boiling oil.
