Who invented the potato chip? At least five different people have been credited with its creation. The most popular story goes like this:
During the 1800s, a diner at a restaurant in Saratoga, New York, wasn't happy with his order of fried potatoes. He sent them back to the kitchen.
Seeking revenge on the guest, the cook sliced a potato as thin as possible and cooked the slices until they were nearly burnt.
Instead of being unhappy with the vengeful dish, the guest loved the thin, crispy potatoes! Thus the potato chip was born.

Historians disagree as to whether any of the stories of the chips' creation in Saratoga are true, but the town did make them popular. "Saratoga chips" were soon served at expensive restaurants and hotels across the country.
During the 1930s, Lay's and other companies developed methods of producing potato chips with a longer shelf life. Today, they are a favorite snack food. During the Super Bowl alone, Americans consume over 11 million pounds of potato chips!
Did you know? If you order "chips" in some countries, such as Great Britain, you won't receive thin, crispy chips like those in our illustration. Instead, you'll get something like thick French fries!
And in Italy, if you see "chips and salsa" on the menu, you won't likely get corn tortilla chips and Mexican-style salsa. Instead, you might receive a bag of potato chips and some ketchup!
