potato chips

One Russet potato makes a whole bag-worth of potato chips.  I have a bag of potato chip from Trader Joe's and they're very good but I wanted to see I can come close to matching them.

These are good. But theirs are better.

A description of the making of potato chips (podcast) and their distribution.

As I recall, on the manufacturing line, potato chips reach speeds up to 70mph.

I love potato chips. Please someone tell me they're healthy. :^(

There's something about them that people want.

This happened twice. And I thought it was unusual both times. A guest at my apartment noticed a bag of potato chips in my pantry when I opened the door for something else and they broke with convention and asked if we could open the bag right now.

I opened those doors plenty of times in front of people. Many times people are right there. Or I ask them to get something. But only twice have they asked, and both times it was to open a bag of potato chips. Is that weird or what?

In a state that legalized pot? Hardly. Munch, munch, munch.

I went a different direction, which sort of goes along with the munchiness, as salt, lightness, and crunch with an additional link back to childhood, picnics, parties, lunch boxes and vending snacks, are a powerful combination!

Plus they're a comfort carb, common and inexpensive enough to prompt a guest to break with convention and cross the social boundary involved with asking the host for something more from the closet.
