New innovation - no fat, no calorie chips! But there's a "catch"...

[Dien Rice]

I'm always on the lookout for unusual businesses or business ideas that people have implemented...

Here's one you may find hard to believe...

A company has come up with the "holy grail" of weight loss... These are...

Snack chips that have no fat and no calories!

What is the secret? It's this...

Their chips are made of paper!

(That is, "edible paper.") These "Slim Chips" have flavors like mint, cheddar, and sweet potato.

Unfortunately, if you want to buy some you have to order them from Iceland! (They should be available from September...) They' re also apparently not cheap (reportedly around $20 a bag)...

Will they catch on? Who knows... You can eat as many of them as you want, and not gain weight... That could be a big enough drawcard, you never know...!

However, it shows that there is no limit to human ingenuity... ;)

Best wishes,
