Why? I don't get it. How can any food taste this good?

MSG is a hell of a drug…

Because some people who have a lack of salt or what ever the potato has in it has a large amount of it inside of the product, which can be addictive if your body needs it and don't have enough of what ever it is the body needs to survive on.

I'm in the minority who thinks that chips are kind of gross. I can never eat too many at a time.

Crunchy!
Salty!
Fatty!

Available in machines for the cost of a few coins!

yum.

Walkers is best chips/crisps.

"It's a bunch'o munch'o crunch'o human!"

Because robots.

Well someone had to say it sooner or later.

I like Goldfish better. =T

You don't know that.

Same reason McDonald's and guns are.

AMERICAN FLAVOR.

I prefer baked chips. Better flavor, and healthier too.

Wow, that really sounded like an ad. Sorry.

Honestly, I had better things.

Like a boss.

Me too. As in, baked potato chips.
…
Mmm. Baked potato chips….

It's a conspiracy from the Government and the Feminists.

The Critic: One of the few shows that deserves to be revived.

Because fruit salad, of course.

See Ric Tesla.
 
 
Also, chips are made to be addictive. They're easy to open and eat. Not like an orange or pecans.

There's also a theory that humans are attracted to high energy foods, because it offers a huge payoff. The fats in chips make them high calorie foods. Whatever you can turn to fat, you can use later. But the energy outside of your body can always be taken, deteriorate, run away, etc. And so you want to eat it when you have it.

And I think they're fun to eat. They're crunchy, they come in lot of fun flavors, and there are a lot of them (at least a couple dozen) in each bag, so you can repeat the process a lot in one sitting.
 
A combination of a lot of payoffs with little effort. "Perfect" food. Except for the kill ya part.

Ahhh, but it's not the taste that actually brings us back to eating it.
For example:
When someone has an overdose on heroin, comatose, he's basically gonna die, doctors inject him with a special drug that blocks the immune sensors in the brain, causing him to wake up. If doctors give that same drug to a, lets say a chocolate addict, that is basically shoveling chocolate in, you find the most amazing thing. The person looses most of their interest in chocolate. They will take one bite and put it back down. In other words, it's not addiction that makes you coming back for the food, it's actually a drug effect in the mind.

>mfw I can only eat potato chips if I also eat them with ketchup
>mfw ketchup flavored potato chips are sold everywhere but in the United States.

Trust me, they taste like shit.
In Australia, we have Vegemite flavored chips.* VEGEMITE FLAVORED!!!*

I like cacawne flavored chips.

I love sour cream and onion flavored chips.

They have ketchup flavored chips in the U.S., I've had some….

Because they can be very good friends…

MSG. is hell. of drug.

Granted, not all of it. That's what the points about it being a high calorie food, it being simple to obtain and eat, and other factors were for.

There are plenty of things that taste good. But in addition to that, there is a physiological desire for food that is high in energy. Once you feel satisfied after eating that, you return to the source, sometimes regardless of the taste. But if that source appeals to other senses as well, then it becomes even more desirable.
 
There are also some slightly addictive drugs in chips, but that's just my guess. I have no proof on that.

I am currently eating a bag of Lay's Original Potato Chips.

Because this thread made me want some.

Dammit, Citation.

You pretty much said it. It's the sugar in the chips. If you look at the menu at McDonalds and see what everything is made of, everything there (expect the water) has sugar in it. The salads are have more fat than a Big Mac. In conclusion, it's cheap food that keeps you full for a while with loads of addicting elements.

For more information on this, "Super Size Me' would be a great movie to watch.

WTF? I'm from Australia too and I haven't seen any 'Vegemite chips' and if they do exist, three words: WORST. FLAVOUR. EVER.

Why do people even like Vegemite, or the UK equivalent Marmite, in the first place?

sabor de soledad is best flavor

Limited edition.

I looked at the source…

VEGEMITE CHIPS ACTUALLY DO EXIST?!
