No, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Packard has actually presented the generally accepted origin of the potato chip. (You have no idea what a painful concession this is.)

He's banking this for the next time Buddy points out his racism.

Well, I mean, you throw around 50 threads a day, one of ‘em’s bound to stick…eventually.

Too bad that the odds of something sticking would be better if he was just flinging poo at the wall.

The boards already have a bad stench. Do we really need fecal matter on the wall?

I just like the part where the man opens his own business.  What I don't know is whether he earned the money to do so from his creation or he just used his saved wages from working in a kitchen.

What if he made it off bootleg smokes

That might not have been any issue, back then.  Smokes were not taxed at a hundred and fifty percent.

What if he made it off of some kind of agriculture labor that might involved harvesting a certain popular crop for less than a living wage?

This is a counterfeit article. Hey everybody this guy’s a big big phony. Oh my a tato chip

[The_annoying_one]

I just realized that the potato chip was invented by a guy with the last name Crum.

I don’t know. Stupid shit like that amuses me. Don’t judge me. >_>

Dood, potato chips were an English invention. Some guy who’ll remain unnamed made them, the chef to the king. The king thought he was getting scalloped potatoes. The fool.

Fish & chips just got a lot more confusing.

All I know is I want some Cheddar and Sour Cream flavored Ruffles potato chips. Thanks a lot.

Maybe I’m missing the point but leave it up to grues so that we as a 250 year old nations of Dutch, English, Irish and German settlers can illuminate, culminate, alleviate the bonds of oppression from within, as it’s hard to imagine a Paleolithic culture coming into power right when the world turned into a industrialized planet. Does anyone know how hard it would be just to make a garden hoe? You can’t go to The smithy and order up a racetrack when parts of the succeeding  half of the nation are crafting mechanical computers, steam cars, cameras, rim fire rifles and slide projectors.

You do know that most culinary methods and pieces are not invented, but discovered, right?

That's technically a fact.
