Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Tortilla Chips and
The Snack Chips Man
You stand in front of the grocer’s selection of snack chips and think, ‘A penny’s worth of potato in a bag that costs a buck!
We Americans eat about $50 billion dollars worth of snack chips every year. That pencils out to about $167 per person per year. And the price of those bags of snack chips keeps going through the roof.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a bag of chips that cost $6.75 in 1977 would cost $33.39 today!

Leave a comment below: Given a choice, and hunger, which bag of chips would you buy and eat?
