4. Potato Chips
It’s August 24, 1853, George Crum is sitting in the kitchen of the Saratoga Springs resort when another order comes in. It’s from that d-bag Cornelius Vanderbilt. He wants his French fries thinner? Oh George will give him thinner! That’s basically the first time a human mouth tasted the crunchy goodness that is a potato chip. Lucky for George, Cornelius loved the new food and since he was super rich railroad tycoon, that recipe has made him even wealthier. For the next 40 years “Saratoga Chips” were exclusively served at restaurants, until William Tappenden created the world’s first chips factory in 1895.

It contained almost the same chocolate spread we know and love today. After a few tweaks of the formula, a new product called Nutella was born in 1964, becoming a smash hit all over the world.
