definitely a trick question.

we had four "dips" as part of our appetizers during thanksgiving......ranch, broccoli, hummus, and onion. the amount of chips, bugles, and crackers consumed was quite a lot.

The sad part is, I don't even like potato chips and I could still eat a whole bag.

I think they smell disgusting when you first open the bag. G-A-G.

Now there are experts on potato chips? No one ever says who these people are suppose to be. Nutritionists, dieticians, chefs? I don't go for the whole expert thing as anyone can call themself an expert and people will believe it.

@teganslaw It's a joke-the word "experts" indicates nobody real.

I buy the variety pack, too, but there are mostly Doritos. You need to supplement that with a couple party-size bags of potato chips 😊

Ice cream is my downfall but I will admit to eating more than 10 chips at a time.

Besides, the chips are not all equal in size so a few small chips equal how many compared to the larger chips in the bag?? Would 3 small chips be the same as one large chip or would 3 large chips break down to 9 small chips?

If a woodchuck could chuck wood how much wood would the woodchuck chuck???

We don't eat chips often but when we do..........we do not count.

Portion size and nutritional contents are federally mandated on one serving size of every food item. To be a serving, there must be enough of the item for the food group it belongs to.

A potato chip is potato, fat, salt, and additives. Each group has to be listed.

" A small bag is considered an appetizer in many homes...you have great discipline!."

When I was in high school I took a health class my senior year. One class was spent on nutrition and portion size. The teacher said that one serving of pasta was equivalent to half a cup. You go to any restaurant and the portion they serve you is equivalent to four servings.

From the serving size for potato chips, it appears a chip is about the equivalent of a French frie. I use the phrase "10 calories per(chip/frie)".

Yes, trick question....I say as many as I want once I sit down the the bag.

My husband jokes about serving sizes. On a meal for 4, he jokes, "except for our family".

I think it all changed with the "super size me" time period.

I am not nit all that fond of eating potato chips, but I love the ones made with sweet potatoes.

Since sweet potatoes are better for you than white potatoes, It stands to reaaon that eating more than 10 is better for you too.

I thought one serving was one bag?

Not really a fan of potato chips, but I can eat just one and be done with them.

Plain potato chips, I can eat just one, but bring out the dips and I can eat, and eat, and eat! lol!!

Whatever the bag size is! Individual bag, that's a serving, 12 oz. bag, that's the serving! Same theory applies to cookies!
