150 Years of Potato Chips

I can't believe that I let this little fact through without mentioning it. It's been 150 years since the first potato chips were fried by George Crum, a chef at Moon's Lake House resort in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1853.

This article also says that Frederick J. Meyer, the guy that owned the first large-scale potato chip production line, killed himself after selling it to H. W. Lay & Company. This article details the history of Red Dot Potato Chips.
