About
Potato chips are thin, crisp snack foods that occupy large amounts of space because of their curved shapes.
With a bulk density of roughly 5 pounds per cubic foot (0.08 grams per milliliter), potato chips take up substantial space for their weight. Because the thin slices warp as they cook, they stack loosely and leave large gaps throughout a container. At about 0.67 ounces (19 grams) per cup, chips are far less dense than solid snacks like pretzels or crackers. Most of the volume inside any bag of chips consists entirely of air surrounding the curved crisps.
From Wikipedia
Potato chips or crisps are thin slices of potato that have been deep-fried, baked, or air-fried until crunchy. They are commonly served as a snack, appetizer or side dish.
