5. WOW! potato chips
We all love potato chips, especially when we are in front of the TV, watching our favorite Netflix show. We also know how bad they are for our health, so that’s why Frito-Lay came up with the idea of making fat-free potato chips back in 1998.
The company called them WOW! potato chips, and they actually tasted like regular potato chips. However, the main issue was their fat substitute, namely olestra. Excessive consumption of olestra can lead to serious gut side effects.
This fat substitute can cause severe cramps and loose stools. So, WOW! potato chips weren’t that WOW, apparently.
