An outing to Cape Cod Potato Chips makes for a great day trip or stopover during a long car ride. You're sure to have a snack attack after a self-guided tour of this factory, which turns out 150,000 to 200,000 bags of chips a day. Through glass windows, you can view potato slices sizzling in 200-gallon kettles of hot oil. Then follow the chips as they wiggle on a vibrating conveyor belt to be inspected, salted and bagged. At the end of the tour, you can reward your taste buds with a free sample bag of chips.
Admission is free.
