    George Crum was the first African American/Native American to accidentally create the first batch of potato chips. The invention sort of has a silly story behind it. It all started 1853, when George Crum was working as a chef in a New York resort. A customer complained that George’s potato fries where too thick. George got pretty angry because of that complaint, so he fried up another batch. But this time, he made the potato slices really thick and over salted, frying them to a crisp. Unexpectedly, the annoying customer enjoyed the new style of that potato snack.…

    The History of Popchips

    Popchips is a brand of potato chips that are unique and claimed to be a lot healthier (and tastier) than the ordinary leading brands of potato chips. Contrary to the usual potato chips that are out there, Popchips use the method of “popping” their potatoes rather than baking them or frying them – which the other brands usually do to their products. Popchips believe that by using the method of popping their chips can make Popchips’ chips healthier because it contains less fat than if we fried them, and it also retain more flavors because the chips are not being baked. The texture of Popchips itself is also thicker compared to other leading chips out there, and the texture is also different and unique. According to John Myers; an author for Yahoo Network, Popchips have a taste of more like potato sticks compared to a potato chips, and he intended it as a compliment. As of now, Popchips carried over 12 flavors, and that is only for their potato chips alone, as Popchips also carry tortilla and kettle corn as their brand products. Among them are all time favorite flavors such as barbeque and sour cream & onion to unique flavors such as parmesan and garlic, jalapeno, and thai sweet chili potato.…
