Chips Are More Than Common-Taters
Food columnist Bob Leo takes a look back at the colorful history of America's favoriter snack food.
I happened to read that 96 million tons of potato chips were consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. I thought just how many chips do we go through a year ? and how many potatoes does that take?
