They’re crispy, salty, crunchy, and wildly addictive. Potato chips rank #1 as America’s favorite snack with over 36 million people reportedly enjoying more than one bag every year. Whether you call them chips or crisps, yes, we are looking at you Britain, there’s no denying that there is a potato chip flavor for every palette (did someone say wasabi flavor?) But what if you overindulged in your guilty pleasure? We’re talking barbecue flavor for breakfast, salt and vinegar for lunch, cheese and onion for dinner, and ketchup flavor for snack breaks in between Every. Day. For. Ten. Years. This may be your dream come true, but this potato limited diet could lead to chronic fatigue, liver failure, and even blindness, especially when you don’t eat anything else. Oh yeah, if you didn’t figure it out yet, chips are deprived of any real nutritional value. Sorry to break it to you. In today’s video, we look at one picky eater who reported going blind from his potato-based diet. Then, in another mysterious medical case, a young man eats himself to an early grave after eating---you guessed it---only potato chips. Plus, we tell you the most popular (yes, there’s more than one) potato chip origin story. We also break open the history books and revisit the history of the Second World War.
