在20世纪50年代，在爱尔兰，Joe "Spud" Murphy和Seamus Burke，首先生产了世界上已调味的薯片——“奶酪与洋葱”和“盐与醋”。在英国和爱尔兰，薯片叫“crisps”，即是我们在美国叫的“薯片”，而“chips”就是指我们的薯条。番茄酱调味的薯片在中东和加拿大受欢迎。海藻味的在亚洲受欢迎；墨西哥人就喜欢鸡肉味的薯片。
要制成约27磅的薯片需用上100磅的马铃薯。美国人每年吃掉约20至40亿磅的薯片，每年花费超过70亿美元。

原文如下：
In the 1950s, in Ireland, Joe "Spud" Murphy and Seamus Burke, produced the world's first seasoned crisps, Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar. In the United Kingdom and Ireland crisps are what we in the United States call potato chips while chips refer to our French fries. Ketchup flavoured chips are popular in the Mid-East and Canada. Seaweed is popular in the Asia, and Mexicans like chicken flavoured chips.
About 27 pounds of potato chips are produced from 100 pounds of potatoes. Americans eat 2-4 billion pounds of potato chips every year, and spend more than $7 billion a year on them.
二楼答案有误，seaweed 是海藻，不是海鲜！
