Why do chips taste sweet if you keep on chewing them?

The process of digestion begins in the mouth. As you chew foods, you release saliva into your mouth. Your saliva begins to convert starches into sugars before the food even gets to your stomach, so the starch in the chips begins to taste sweeter as you chew it. The flavor turns sweeter the longer you chew to mix in your saliva and cause the conversion to begin.
