    An overengineered interactive notebook exploring the differential geometry, materials science, fluid dynamics, and manufacturing topology of the Tostitos Scoops™ tortilla chip — arguably the most structurally sophisticated snack food ever mass-produced.

    Made on my Zo Computer

    This honestly looks like it was created by someone that’s never seen, let alone held a Tostitos Scoop in their life. The models don’t resemble the average Scoop at all.

      I think it’s AI-generated. Still made me smile.

    This is hilarious.

    Side note, I find it interesting Fritos scoops have a lower breakability score. That's literally the only metric I personally care about.

      Really? Tostitos were the bane of my existence when they broke off in my mom’s chili all the time

    The prose looks AI generated. Is the math AI as well?
