I am a lot older than you and the other respondants and they were using that slogan in the 1960-70's when there were only a few flavours of potato chips.

Up here in Canada I have been off Lays now as they cook them in Sunflower oil, I am allergic to it, we have a brand here cooked in veg oil so I can on ocassion eat a few. All companys had there unique slogans years ago to attract customers, I also remember the "Frito Bandito".

Woah. Considering I'm not that old, I must really know my old times trivia! Thanks. I guess if you're allergic you can eat just one.
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson "Betcha can't eat just one" served up in that wonderful wax paper bag. Yes, those were the good ones. Peanut oil I believe. and 100% serving of all those artery clogging fats and trans oils. I love the 1980's

    It's an issue of motivation. Why would anyone just eat one? They already have the whole bag and it won't cost them any more to have a second, or 20 more. If someone was offering 100 dollars to anyone who could eat just one, there would be a line around the block. You could take that 100 dollars, go buy a can of pringles and satisfy your jonez for chips and still have 98 dollars left over.

    I can eat just one potato chip (any brand). But I can never eat just one Chee-tos!
