It's Super Bowl Sunday and many of us will be eating CHIPS! Every time a person crunches into a potato chip, he or she is enjoying the delicious taste of one of the world's most famous snacks a treat that might not exist without the contribution of black inventor George Crum. 🥔

ABOUT:
The son of an African American father and a Native American mother, Crum was working as the chef in the summer of 1853 when he incidentally invented the chip. It all began when a patron who ordered a plate of French fried potatoes sent them back to Crum's kitchen because he felt they were too thick and soft.

To teach the picky patron a lesson, Crum sliced a new batch of potatoes as thin as he possibly could, and
then fried them until they were hard and crunchy. Finally, to top them off, he added a generous heaping of salt. To Crum's surprise, the dish ended up being a hit with the patron and a new snack was born!

Years later, Crum opened his own restaurant that had a basket of potato chips on every table. Though Crum never attempted to patent his invention, the snack was eventually mass produced and sold in bags providing thousands of jobs nationwide.
