when to eat one

Well Fed is the bottom rung of the food buffs, but the chips run long enough that you can eat one at the start of a session and stop thinking about it. That is the useful part. Food bonuses scale off your totals, so they feel like nothing in your first cave and quietly matter a lot by the time you are stacking gear for a boss. Keep the shortest and weakest foods for building trips and save the stronger tiers for fights.

You will never need to farm these. The armored crawlers and lizards that roam the caverns hand them out often enough that a normal run through the Underground leaves you with a small pile.

where the name comes from

The tooltip borrows an old Lay's advertising line from American television at the start of the 1960s, the one daring you to stop after a single chip.
