The page has over 133,000 likes and is fast growing thanks to plenty of viral posts about the number of chips people have received at different pubs around the UK.
It didn't take long for Leeds to catch on to this humorous past time and hungry diners across the city have been uploading their chip count, with varying results.

This weekend in Leeds, around 25 chips were found, but chip counters fund between 18 and 33 on their plates.
Both the lowest and highest were found at The Cuthbert Brodrick.
Stacy Benson, a Wetherspoons chip counter shared her dismal result that came alongside their ham from the pub:
"Cuthbert Broderick Leeds city centre Wetherspoons boys and girls. I can't really say 18 chips because some where like little toe nails. So I reckon maybe around 10 chips. And some nice fart ham to match".
People have been taking the trend very seriously and some even measure their chips to find the longest chip at Wetherspoons.
Visitors to The Golden Beam Wetherspoons took to the chip count page to share 29 chips, one of which measured a very precise 142mm.

Over 3,700 Wetherspoon chip-eaters have posted on the Wetherspoons Paltry Chip Count Facebook page in the last month, with followers increasing by over 10,000 a week.
The page was set up in August 2020 but has been going viral recently with hundreds of people uploading their chips each day to be rated by the public.
Visitors to Leeds Train Station Wetherspoons even recorded a live chip count so that viewers could see that there was no tampering or snacking during the count.
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food
Clementine Hall
What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
