The Potato Chips
According to how products are made. The potato chip became both a national and international sensation when a customer sitting in a restaurant called Moon’s Lake House located in Saratoga Spring, New York. Complained about his french fried potatoes being too thick and sent them back to the kitchen for redoing. The Chef working in the kitchen at that time was George Crum who thought the customer french fried potatoes was cooked perfectly out of spike shaved them paper thinner and sent them back to be served to the complaining customer. The once displeasing customer and his attending parties of associates dining at the restaurant, loved them, which was the beginning of what we call the potato chip. Manufacturing Software
Shortly after Chef George Crum sardonically behavior, which was played a key role in creating the potato chip, so he thought, word began to spread throughout the local population surrounding Saratoga Spring, New York and how good his thin cut potato chip were; folks just loved them. Chef Crum soon opened his own restaurant and due to the overwhelmed host of folks wanting to eat at his restaurant Chef Crum had to establish a policy for not taking any reservations.

In doing that, he kept the experimenting ongoing with flakes of corn which later would be called the Sanitas Toasted Corn Flakes. Then the sugar was added secretly in.

    In the beginning of his writing, Schlosser writes about the history of the fries. He begins with introducing a prominent potato supplier in the country, J.R. Simplot who started his business venture in the age of fifteen. Simplot was a successful entrepreneur who owned a lot of agricultural land and he grew potatoes in most of his lands. Having had so many potato farms and food processing factories, the farsighted entrepreneur invested heavily in frozen food technology and hoped to commercialize a low cost frozen fry that tasted the same as the fresh one. Initially the sales of the fries were low, because the preparing work to cook the fries was not convenient for housewives. However, Simplot did not cease his business idea and continued to seek for potential customers. All of his hard work had finally paid off when he got the deal to manufacture McDonald’s French…

Girodano put the chip in the red dish from earlier, and that would make it less confusing when it came time for the spy to pick out the right plate with the microchip in it.…

    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.…
