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.

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.

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.

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