Potato Chips has always been an addictive guilty pleasure that we can’t get enough
of. For generations we try to convince ourselves that one chip is enough, but we all know
very well, that it does not suffice. For one thing, a single chip fuels the craving for an entire
bag of this crunchy savory snack. Unfortunately the calories, the salt and fat content will
definitely show in our physique sooner rather than later, shattering waistline after
waistline, ruining millions of bikini summers by the beach and triggering thousands of
cancellations on social events with the worry of not having anything to wear.
