The invention of the Potato Chip was an accident.

Welcome to our podcast as we dive deep into the overlooked twists and turns of history that changed the way we live, eat, move, and think. In this episode, we’re crunching into the crispy, salty origin of one of America’s favorite snacks — the potato chip. It’s the story of how one man’s frustration with a customer led to the birth of a billion-dollar industry. Let’s set the scene. The year is 1853. The place? Saratoga Springs, New York. A popular resort town, particularly among the wealthy elite who traveled there for its mineral springs, lush forests, and upscale hotels. One of those hotels, Moon’s Lake House, was known for its fine dining and scenic lake views. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
