Potato chips and corn chips
Potato Chips and Corn Chips
The story goes that the potato chip was invented in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1853.
Multi-millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt complained to the chef that his fried potatoes were sliced too thickly.
Chef George Crum responded by slicing the potatoes paper thin and frying them in hot oil.
The potato chip became an instant success.
Many companies have made large profits on chips.
The most successful brands are associated with the Frito-Lay Company.
Herman W. Lay of Nashville, Tennessee was selling potato chips from the back of his car in the early 1930s.
He soon became a successful distributor for a brand of potato chips which were made in Atlanta, Georgia.
When that company ran into financial problems, Lay arranged to buy them out.
It now became H.W. Lay and Company.
Meanwhile in Texas, Elmer Doolin was trying to sell chips made from corn dough.
This was an old Mexican recipe which Doolin had found in San Antonio, Texas.
At first, these Fritos corn chips were made in Mr. Doolin's mother's kitchen.
It took a few years before they sold very well.
Mr. Doolin moved the company to Dallas and began to expand his market.
In 1945, he granted the H.W. Lay Company the rights to make Frito's corn chips for the American Southeast.
In 1961, the two companies merged to become Frito-Lay Incorporated.
In 1965, Frito-Lay merged with Pepsi to become PepsiCo Incorporated,
one of the largest snack, food, and beverage companies in the world.
In 2000, Frito-Lay sold 58% of all the snack chips in the USA.
In Canada and the United States, Frito-Lay products had sales of $9.9 billion.
The most popular brand was Lay's potato chips,
followed by Doritos, Ruffles, Tostitos, Cheetos, and Fritos.
Internationally, Frito-Lay has 28% of the market worldwide.
That amounts to $5.9 billion annually.
Why are potato chips and corn chips so popular?
Well, they are versatile.
You can eat them by themselves or with a sandwich for lunch.
They can replace other forms of potatoes and corn.
They can also come in various flavors.
For example, potato chip flavors include ketchup, salt and vinegar, barbecue, dill pickle, and cheddar.
Potato chips can be thick or thin, ridged or flat, spicy or bland.
Chips can be made from many things besides potatoes.
There is corn dough and tortilla dough, of course.
But chips can also be made from sweet potatoes, parsnips,
taro root, peppers, and other vegetables.
One caution about potato chips is that they are not a good source of nutrition.
Parents who send their children to school with a bag of potato chips for lunch
need to remember that these are just a snack.
Because snack chips usually contain a lot of fat, they can also lead to weight gain.
It is better not to eat snack chips too often and not to eat them instead of healthier foods.
In Canada, nearly $2 billion is spent on snack foods every year,
and half of this is spent on chips.
People are always looking for new flavors to try.
Spicy chips are gaining in popularity.
The snack chip industry just keeps on growing.
