Potato chips industry in the United States - additional information
Although the exact origins of potato chips are disputed, they have become a staple snack food around the world and are associated with the U.S. American culture just as much as chewing gum and peanut butter. According to industry representatives, not only is the potato chip more than 160 years old, but the potato chip industry itself can be traced back to 1895, when the product first became available in grocery stores. A recent survey showed that potato chips are Americans' second snack food of choice, more so than chocolate, cheese or ice cream.
