<br />
==History==<br />
Popchips was founded by [[Keith Belling]] and [[Patrick Turpin]] in 2007. The company is headquartered in [[San Francisco, California]]. The founders aimed to create a snack that was both tasty and healthier than traditional fried chips. The brand quickly gained popularity and expanded its product line to include a variety of flavors and types of chips.<br />
<br />
==Production Process==<br />
Popchips are made using a special cooking process that involves applying heat and pressure to potatoes, causing them to "pop" into a chip. This method is different from traditional frying or baking and results in a chip that is lower in fat and calories. The process also helps to retain more of the potato's natural flavor.<br />

* [[Original]]<br />
* [[Barbecue]]<br />
* [[Sour Cream & Onion]]<br />

* [[Salt & Pepper]]<br />
* [[Buffalo Ranch]]<br />
<br />
The brand also offers a line of [[tortilla chips]] and [[veggie chips]].<br />
<br />
