Do you know the origins of seasoned potato chips?

Potato chips were left without seasoning, which diminished their appeal, until the owners of an Irish potato chip company called Tayto invented a way to add seasoning in the 1950s. Although he only has a small company (which is made up mostly of his potato chip-making family), the boss has always proven himself to be an innovator. After some trial and error, he created the world's first seasoned potato chips, "Cheese and Onion" and "Salt and Vinegar."

Potato chips were first sold seasoned with salt, but the salt was wrapped in another sealed package and put into the potato chip bag, and was added when needed. His invention became a big event in the food industry overnight, and the bosses of some large American potato chip companies came to the small Tayto company to take a look at the product and negotiate the copyright to use this new technology. In the end, the Tayto company was sold, which made the company owner and the small family who changed the way potato chips are made very rich. Companies around the world want to buy the copyright of Tayto's technology.

Tayto's invention changed the entire potato chip industry. Since then, potato chip manufacturers have added natural or artificial flavorings to potato chips, with varying degrees of success and popularity. Even inventor George Crum was surprised that a product that originally had only a small market share now has many different flavors and a large market share. Popular potato chip flavors include sour cream onion, barbecue and cheese. There are many other flavors of potato chips available at other places. For example, Ireland's largest potato chip manufacturer Tayto produces traditional flavored "salt and vinegar" potato chips.
