Best Potato Chips


      In the reading, the reader gets to learn about different perspectives of different potato chip lovers. For all the different people that were questioned around the country, it so happens that they have different values, opinions, and taste in certain potato chips. The biggest common value among these different potato chip lovers seems to be the way the chip is made. From all the different corners of the United States, it seems like each state has their own famous style of making potato chips. To me, some of the methods of the different state’s potato chips seem pretty similar, but if you ask someone who grew up eating a certain style of chip, they will quickly despise any other chip. Some people would only have a certain brand of potato chip that’s local to their state but completely unknown to the other states. As someone who would enjoy pretty much any kind of potato chip, I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. In the reading, someone mentioned that even a bad potato chip could be decent. To me, that sounds ridiculous because people take their potato chips that seriously. But it goes to show that people have different values in their chips. I’m sure many of these people who enjoy only certain types of chips would be quick to avoid common main brands of potato chips such as Lays. In terms of the differences in their chips, there isn’t much that separates one chip from the other. Some common differences between chips that people would mention are how crispy it is and the type of oil that was used. As someone from New York, I never heard of these other types of chips. It seems like this chip obsession is pretty common in less urban states. Based on the reading, the potato chip has a pretty deep past. Many of the chip’s history involves different ways of creating the chip. One of the stories mentions that a certain method of making a potato chip was a mistake when someone was working with donuts and potatoes at the same time. I think it’s pretty cool and strange at the same time that some people will only eat a chip from their side of the country. But if I had these different chips, I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
