The Story of Chips and so many facts
History buff and long-time chip fan, Michael Walpole, brings us the snack trifecta of cheezies, coke, and snickers while taking us on a wild ride of chip history. Where do chips come from?

Chip Chat Origin Story + Wells’ Mix Bag
Our guest is Corey Wells, our guitar slaying, massively bearded dreamer of chip dreams – he who planted that tiny chip seed. In this long, quite crunchy episode hosting is already paying off as Wellsy has brought not only 3 chips but 3 pairings.
