Boy 1: Hey, did you know that potato chips were invented by mistake?
Boy 2: Really? What do you mean?
Boy 1: Well, here on the bag it says that they were invented by a cook called George Crum.
Boy 2: When was that?
Boy 1: Oh, it was back in 1853.
Boy 2: So, why was it an accident?
Boy 1: Well, one day, a customer came into the restaurant where George worked. He ordered a plate of fried potatoes. When the potatoes came, he said they were cut too thick and sent them back to the kitchen.
Boy 2: So what happened?
Boy 1: Well, George was angry, so he cut the potatoes really, really thin, and he cooked them for a long time until they were crispy. And he put lots of salt on them so they were really salty. He thought the customer would hate them.
Boy 2: And?
Boy 1: And the customer loved them and asked for more. He told the other customers about them, and soon everyone was ordering thinly cut, crispy, salty potato chips.
Boy 2: And we’re still eating them today. What a cool story!
