1. INTRODUCTION OF CHIPS: Chips also called chips were invented in 1853 by Native American George Crum. The story behind the invention is this. George worked as a chef at a posh resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. A dinner guest thought George's french fries were too thick for his liking and refused the order. To annoy the guest Crum decided to make the fries too thin and crunchy. But seeing the paper-thin fries, the guest was overjoyed and other guests present also started requesting Crum's fries. Chips later began appearing on the menu as Saratoga chips, a house specialty (John E. Harmon). From then on, chips conquered the snack market.2.
