  • Answer:

    According to the Snack Food Association (SFA), the international trade association of (salted) crunchy snack manufacturers, potato chips did not become a big ticket item until 1926 when a Mrs. Scudder invented wax paper potato chip bags at her chip factory (“Scuds” were reportedly used in the first snack attack in the United States.) Every evening, she had women employees take home sheets of waxed paper and iron them into bags. The next day, workers would hand pack chips into the bags, seal the tops with warm irons and deliver them to retailers. Thus, the potato chip bag was born.
