Japan is experiencing a potato famine of sorts,okay maybe famine is a little dramatic but because of several typhoons hitting a northern island where most of their potato crop is grown they are running out of potato chips which are one of the countries most popular snacks. The chip manufacturing companies are limited by regulations on the use of imported ingredients they can use in their products. Fast food will eventually suffer from the shortage also but for now the focus is on the lack of chips. Some folks are turning to online sources and paying up to $12 or 1,250 yen per bag (they normally sell for 200 yen).
