When was that?

So, why was it an accident?

So what happened?

Well, George was angry, so he cut the potatoes really, really thin, and he cooked them for a long time until they were crispy. And he put lots of salt on them so they were really salty. He thought the customer would hate them.
乔治很生气，所以他把土豆切得非常非常薄，并烹饪了很长时间，直到土豆变得很脆。他还在上边撒了很多盐，让土豆很咸。他认为客户会非常讨厌这道菜的。
And?
然后呢？
And the customer loved them and asked for more. He told the other customers about them, and soon everyone was ordering thinly cut, crispy, salty potato chips.
然后客户非常喜欢还点了更多。他还告诉了其他顾客，很快每个人都来点这种薄薄脆脆的咸土豆片。
And we're still eating them today. What a cool story!
