National Corn Chip Day: A day to enjoy a crispy snack item

Corn chips are snack food items that are made by baking or frying cornmeal in small pieces and are either sold in a bag or eaten alone with a dip. The origins of these chips are not very clear but it is a popular snack and one can enjoy it in many ways. 

The origin of corn chips goes back to 1932. The story is that C.E. Elmer Doolin purchased a bag of fried corn chips and enjoyed them so much that he sold off his mother's wedding ring which we assume was by her permission to buy the recipe and manufacturer.

He began selling these chips from his car and now the company he founded has become the largest corn chips manufacturer in the USA. To celebrate Corn Chip Day, one can enjoy a bag of corn chips with some dips like melted cheese, salsa and guacamole as it can prove to be one of the best snack food.
