    A bowing ball will hit the Earth first before potatoes chips.

    Explanation:

    While dropping, a bag of potatoes will experience air resistance. A bowing ball also experience air resistances too but it is not affected by it because it has a bigger weight that affect air resistance than potatoes chips. Potatoes chips is affected because it's weight is light and cannot affect air resistance.
