I received an email from Ron Schrotenboer (an external tax lawyer advisor who I previously worked with at GE) telling me that he saw me the other evening on an episode of the History Channel's The Food That Built America entitled "Peanut Butter Battle." Lo and behold I watched it on the History Channel on Demand and there I am. I had no idea. What's more, as far back as I can remember, I have been severely allergic to peanut butter, so it was even more of a surprise.
So in addition to multiple episodes about potato chips, I have now also appeared on episodes about both burgers and peanut butter.

The NFL playoffs are officially kicking off this weekend, and you know what that means. We’re one step closer to Super Bowl LVIII—and, maybe more importantly, depending on if your team makes it to the Big Game or not, to Super Bowl snacks. Because, let’s face it, even if you don’t care what teams are facing off on Super Bowl Sunday, it’s a great excuse to enjoy some Buffalo chicken dip with your friends and family.
Matches like the one Tottenham Hotspur just put together against Aston Villa — a 4-0 drubbing at Villa Park — are fun to rate and review because everyone’s good and the ratings are high. “Numbers up go brrrr” matches are neat, but I always wonder in these games if I’m overrating players and performances because they won the match.
Ohio has been a major player in the potato chip industry as long as there have been potato chips. It was in Cleveland in 1895 that William Tappenden built the first potato chip factory in the country, turning a barn in his backyard into a factory and delivering his fresh product in barrels to local markets by horse-drawn carriage.

To Southerners, cars are something of a second home. We love a long road trip in the family station wagon, and we can’t resist a sunset drive in the country on a balmy summer night.

| Mashed, boiled, fried: Most of the interactions we have with potatoes revolve entirely around preparing them for our plates.

I usually don’t give too much thought to potato chips. After all, aren’t they all pretty much the same? Nope! Although all potato chips are good (I mean, they’re salt, fat, and carbs in crispy form, how could they not be?), some brands have figured out how to achieve greatness.

Cheryle Finley: Lettuce was Betty White's lone favorite green
It is funny to think that Elvis Presley and Betty White had anything in common. But apparently, their food choice ran along the same vein.
We are all familiar with Elvis’ love of peanut butter, bacon and just about everything fat-loaded. Now we find out Betty White loved hot dogs. Her favorite lunch was hot dogs and french fries. She was also quite fond of french fries, red licorice and potato chips.
While Betty tried to avoid anything green, she favored a childhood lunch of a peanut butter, bologna and lettuce sandwich on white bread. Red Vines and potato chips were also at the top of the list as faves. Elvis, whose 87th birthday is Saturday and who died at the young age of 42, and Betty White, who would have turned 100 January 17, clearly had different results from their dietary choices.
Why Latine Communities Need Eva Longoria's New Film, "Flamin' Hot"
Eva Longoria's directorial debut "Flamin Hot" doesn't begin like your typical film. As the opening credits role, it seems normal enough, with Searchlight Pictures's drum role, a rhythm moviegoers everywhere know. But as the horns come in, the classic tune is transformed from the traditional march to mariachi — gritas and all. It's a clear sign that what's about to happen has a different flavor, a decidedly Mexican perspective.
Shohei's secret snack? We found it.
Shohei Ohtani does so many amazing things on the baseball field that it can be easy to forget that he has regular human concerns like you and me. Sometimes he gets hungry. Sometimes, he just wants a bag of Funyuns.
If you’re like us, the snack aisle can be a pretty dangerous place. With so many options to choose from and new products launching what feels like every day, it’s getting more difficult to pick just one or two bags of chips, pretzels, and popcorn.

March 14 is National Potato Chip Day. And while Ohio is home to a lot of potato chip makers (Mikesell’s, Ballreich, Grippo’s…), it’s been a long time since we’ve found a new one on the store shelves. Enter JR’s Taters out of Findley, Ohio.
It turns out… we were wrong. Not only can crisp packets be recycled, the foil lining actually provides some great thermal insulation for projects where warmth is key. So in this video, we tried our hand at fusing chip bags using a standard clothes iron and turned them into a sleeping bag to keep the cold out. It actually works great and it’s incredibly easy to do. The packets fuse quickly and by making them into large sheets, you can quickly put together a huge amount of material to work with.
If you're one of the many people who demanded a return of Honey Mustard Pringles, your wish has been granted. Sometimes taking to social media to beg for a discontinued flavor works. After Honey Mustard Pringles first disappeared in 2022, there were so many people all over the internet who asked to see their return that the Pringles company has recently brought the flavor back as part of its standard lineup.
Balenciaga's new line of potato chip bag-inspired purses is perhaps the best thing to happen to the potato chip's image since TikTok started smearing caviar on the salty snack in 2022. In this almost unbelievable highbrow-meets-lowbrow scenario, the Spanish luxury fashion house recently released a line of handbags that bear an uncanny resemblance to a popular brand of chips, as seen on Balenciaga's website.

French cuisine still rules the world. Its influence on just about every aspect of modern dining is indelible, but one thing French culture could stand to improve upon is its potato chips.
Driving along Madison Street, I sometimes swing into Dollar Tree with just one objective in mind: potato chips. Dollar Tree has 2-ounce bags of Cape Cod, Zapp’s, Kettle and other brands for a buck and a quarter a pop, much less than I’ve paid elsewhere.
Salty, crispy, and crunchy, potato chips are one of the most beloved snack foods for a reason. Not only are they satisfying on their own, but they also pair well with various foods like sandwiches, burgers, dips, and even chocolate.
It’s hard to beat the snack that is potato chips. Quick, plenty of variety, and most-importantly, tasty. One brand has a stranglehold on the market in the United States, but of the choices, which is the most popular?
Win or lose, at home or not – more than one-third of Americans also admit they'll likely miss work on Monday
A crunchy bag of potato chips is a moreish snack, but finishing off an entire family-sized packet alone in a single sitting isn't always advisable. And, if you've accidentally ripped the bag while mindlessly munching on those crispy potato discs, it makes it much harder to store them away for later.
At any point in time, I hope you all can have one of those “I was born to do this” moments when you’re working. For me, it was this very assignment to rate all the Doritos I could get my hands on. Truly, this is what I was made for. Close to an entire lifetime of Doritos eating has brought me here, and it’s not lost on me.
n a groundbreaking development, researchers have discovered a novel way to repurpose aluminium-plastic composite (APL) films, commonly found in food packaging like potato chip bags, into energy-efficient cooling films.
Led by Prof. Dr. Markus Retsch from the University of Bayreuth in Germany, the team has developed an upcycling process that addresses the recycling challenges posed by APL films.
Police say 80-year-old Thomas Lamberton was driving an SUV along Poole Road in Lake Township last week when he told them he was distracted trying to pick up a bag of dropped potato chips.
The Husband and I agree on most things, and what we most definitely agree on is our shared love for all things Thanksgiving; turkey, sausage stuffing (The Mother-in-Law’s recipe), riced potatoes (it’s a VB thing), green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.
Salty, crispy, and crunchy, potato chips are one of the most beloved snack foods for a reason. Not only are they satisfying on their own, but they also pair well with various foods like sandwiches, burgers, dips, and even chocolate.
With all the interesting and exotic potato chips offered in America, sometimes we just want to say, “Hey chips, it’s OK to be yourself.” But then we’d miss out on pizza- and taco-flavored chips, and all the other weird varieties out there.

You Can Take It With You
Pringles inventor Fredric Baur’s ashes were buried in a Pringles can.
When considering a final resting place, most people ponder the conventional options, such as a coffin or, for those who prefer cremation, an urn. Not Pringles inventor Fredric Baur, whose devotion to his innovative packaging method (which stacks his perfectly curved creations in a tall tube) was so intense that he had his ashes buried in a Pringles can. “When my dad first raised the burial idea in the 1980s, I chuckled about it,” Baur’s eldest son, Larry, has said of his father’s wishes. But this was no joke. So after the inventor died in 2008, his children made a stop on their way to the funeral home: a Walgreens, where they had to decide which can to choose. “My siblings and I briefly debated what flavor to use,” Larry Baur added (sour cream and onion? Barbecue?). “But I said, ‘Look, we need to use the original.’” Baur’s ashes now rest, in the can, at his grave in a suburban section of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Baur is far from the only person to choose an unconventional burial method — and many new choices have emerged across the world in recent years and decades. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s ashes were launched into space, a fitting resting place if ever there was one. Some Koreans, meanwhile, have opted to have their ashes turned into sea-green beads that are placed in bottles or jars; the process is not unlike turning sand into glass. Those who prefer an environmentally friendly option, meanwhile, have encouraged the green burial movement, which prohibits spending eternity in non-biodegradable containers — meaning that a Pringles container probably wouldn’t fly.
How far would you go for your favourite potato chips? A father and son living in Virginia made a road trip of more than nine hours across several states to buy a load of ketchup-flavoured Lay’s from the only place they could — Canada.

Police say they were able to make an arrest in the case by lifting fingerprints from a potato chip can that Rahquan Lavon Matthews left at the scene.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - An early evening chip theft has one North Platte man facing burglary charges.
A scary situation for a woman on Monday. The Lincoln County 911 Center got a call from a home in the area of Homestead Road and U.S. Highway 30 at 5:11 pm. The woman said a man was in her house, talking to himself. She told the 911 Center she was locked in her office, but the man was going room to room rummaging through her things.
A potato chip company has to really go out of its way to make its product taste awful. I mean, how hard is it to mess up a fried potato with salt and oil? Pretty darn difficult, if you ask me, which is why this ranking was a struggle bus for my palate and its ability to decipher the best of the best.
I rounded up 11 of the most popular bags you can find with three criteria:
While some of us need no convincing, there are several good reasons to pair wine and potato chips. First, salty foods make you reach for your glass—it’s the logic behind serving caviar with dry Champagne or pretzels with beer. Potato chips also come in an array of flavors that can complement different wine styles and varieties.

DUNEDIN, Fla. — The term “blister” probably brings back haunting memories for Toronto Blue Jays fans.
Gruesome blisters sabotaged Aaron Sanchez’s Toronto tenure and Cavan Biggio had one drained on his pinkie last season, part of a series of ailments that plagued his 2021. But for the new $110 million face of Toronto’s rotation, starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, a blister is the goal.
The parabola-shaped stackable snack has a lot in common with chips...but are they? Turns out, Pringles aren't officially chips. Here's the complicated international saga.

A determined snacker reaching for a final crisp spends a lifetime with his hand stuck in a Pringles can, the brand’s 2022 Super Bowl ad shows.
When Covid-19 forced people to stay home, many of us found solace in a snack: potato chips. The crispy treats enjoyed around a $350 million increase in sales from 2019 to 2020. When the chips are down, it seems, Americans gobble them up.
Are Cheetoes crunchy or dangerously cheesy?
From the beginning, Cheetos' slogan was "The cheese that goes crunch!". That slogan remained until 1996, when it became "Dangerously cheesy!". This was the current slogan for the product. Cheetos originally did not have a mascot, and in 1986, Chester Cheetah, an anthropomorphic cartoon cheetah character was introduced. Since his commercial was successful, he starred in another commercial, and eventually, he became Cheetos' official mascot. He has even starred in two video games.

Another week, another new Lay's flavor landing in stores. Yes, hot on the heels of the release of Lay's new Sweet and Spicy Honey Chips, the brand is back in the news and on our social media feeds with what may be its wackiest release yet. And while we love the irresistible salty crunch of a plain Lay's chip, it's limited-edition flavors never fail to pique our interest. That's certainly the case with this new drop.
As foodies, there’s one universal experience we can all relate to: having our favorite product discontinued. Some people still can’t believe Nabisco discontinued its Chocolate Wafers (aka, the best cookie for no-bake cakes), while others are mourning the loss of Fruit Stripes Gum. Personally, I still can’t forgive Aldi for discontinuing my favorite snack, the Pueblo Lindo Taquitos.
Who doesn’t love some good potato chips? They are salty, crunchy, and flavorful. And they are just an all-around American staple. You’ve probably seen the meme going around with the serving size of chips that says “I eat that many standing in the pantry deciding if I want to eat chips”.
If you're a salty snack girlie, you'll probably ace this quiz!
Smith's potato chips are somewhat of a cultural staple here in Australia.
Other countries have tried to replicate the crunch and flavour to create their own version of the fried potatoey goodness, but it's simply not possible.
CONSIDER THE POTATO. A lowly tuber, it has fed the world, sprouting roots in the most hostile of soils and filling the emptiest of bellies with a satisfying, starchy meal. Now, consider the Big Idaho Potato Hotel. Like its namesake crop, this six-ton steel, plaster, and concrete structure has taken root in unlikely ground—400 acres of farmland 20 minutes outside of Boise—and promises shelter to intrepid vacationers.

Why it matters: Ned!!! Ned Ryerson makes a triumphant return in this series of ads that highlights the many flavors of Lay's chips. The witty execution of the "Groundhog Day" trope, which is slated to run over and over and over again on Friday, might even be funny enough to make grumpy Phil Connors crack a smile.
Reuben and Peggy’s jobs are not top secret in the way top secret jobs usually are. They don’t have guns, for example – and the grey conference table they sit at is much the same as you’d find in any office in the UK.

In a peculiar and unfortunate incident, a 75-year-old man from Dalton, suffered severe injuries while attempting to open a bag of potato chips using a lighter.
Did Pringles used to have a different name?
The chips were originally sold as Newfangled Potato Chips, but the name didn’t last. Some believe “Pringles” was taken from a street name in an Ohio telephone book, though this has never been confirmed.

Have you ever noticed the tiny ridges on the bottom of a salt shaker? Me neither, and after 35 years of being alive, the old saying, “you learn something new every day,” could not be more relevant. If you have a salt shaker in your kitchen, it’s likely that when needed, you’ve grabbed that shaker and given it a good shake until the desired amount of salt comes out.
According to WBRZ, the Louisana Department of Public Safety and Corrections reported that Alisa Plessy, 53, a correctional officer at the Louisana State Penitentiary, had been searched heading into work on Friday and was allegedly caught hiding about 16.89 ounces of methamphetamine in bags of chips.

Anybody who’s attended a professional golf tournament has been there. You’re standing by the green, whispering to a friend or rustling the pairings sheet a bit, and you think to yourself: How much do these guys hear of what goes on outside the ropes? For some, apparently, all it takes is chewing. Yes, chewing!
Until we're liberated from the confines of this unprecedented spring of 2022, many of us are killing time by snacking. Some snacks are healthy. Nuts, fresh and dried fruits and pickled veggies all have their nutritional and digestive benefits. But let's face it, there comes a time when our cravings can only be satiated by junk food snacks.
What was the problem with other potato chips? Broken and greasy chips. That’s why, in 1956, Proctor & Gamble enlisted the help of Fredric Baur. Baur, a trained chemist, just also happened to be a guy with great mathematical skills. Baur used a geometric formula to create a saddle-shaped chip that would not break when individually stacked inside a cardboard cylinder. Pringles were invented along with their iconic container. Problem solved? Nope! The chips tasted terrible.
FOX23 obtained exclusive video from the owner of El Gallo showing the person breaking into the store, stealing a register and leaving with more than 30 bags of potato chips.
While many have given him nicknames like the "Potato Chip Thief" the owners and police are serious about getting him found.
If I tallied the amount of time I’ve spent staring at potatoes, it would be hours. In that time I could have started to learn a new language, finally finished my stash of pandemic-purchased needlepoint canvases, properly trained for a marathon, perhaps even run said marathon. But instead, I stare at spuds of every color and creed—red potatoes, new potatoes, Yukon golds, baking potatoes, sweet potatoes (or are they yams?), and the large-and-in-charge russet. The problem is, eventually some start to stare back at me. What are those creepy little eyes sprouting chaotically from my potatoes? Should I cut them off? Are they safe to eat?

How did Elmer turn lunch into Fritos?
Fritos is the name of a brand of corn chips made by Frito-Lay. Elmer Doolin was so taken with the bag of corn chips served with his lunch in San Antonio, Texas that he paid $100 for the recipe.
