True #1 and #2 seeds should never face each other in the first round.

I smell an internal side bet where staff members intentionally set up this match up

poor pork rinds - they could be up against granny smith apples and they would still have no chance of getting out of round 1

For some reason, I remember being a big fan of pork rinds when I was a kid. I had it about a year ago after 10+ years of not eating it, and it's not as good as I remember them to be.

Hawkins Cheesies though, that's gotta be my favourite out of all the snacks in this bracket. It's too bad it has to eliminate another strong contender in the first round.

I also loved Hickory Sticks when I was younger, but now it gets points deducted for being a pain to eat, as you have to grab them in bunches and shove them in your mouth to be satisfying.

I agree on the hickory sticks. Not as enjoyable as they used to be.
Popcorn twists though. Surprised they are as low a seed as they are.

I voted for Ariba Nacho Cheese over Doritos nacho cheese as well.

Odd entries in that poll. Have they never been down the snack aisle at Safeway or 7/11? 4 kinds of Doritos and 2 kinds of Ariba?

Where is Bits & Bites, Sun Chips, Cracker Jacks, Cheese Pleesers, Sour Cream & Onion Rings? What else are they missing?

That white cheddar popcorn shouldn’t be eligible since I’m certain they sprinkle crack on them to make them more addictive.

Pretzels severely under-appreciated here....

Cheezies win this whole thing, right? They are far and away the #1 snack.

Probably too high fallutin' for Boomer, but I'd take Kettle Chips, Barbara's Cheese Puffs and those cheese Whisps you can get at Costco over all of these.

Nobody eats those things, though I agree there are way to many variations of the same thing...which are all equally mundane.

I know it would never make it on this list, but the Asian in me loves me some Shimp Crackers ha ha.

One of my favorite snacks is Snyder’s jalapeño pretzel bites.

These specifically would be clubbed in with munchies I guess.

No Sun Maid Raisins? Nature's Candy!

Seriously, Hawkins cheesies should win. Unfortunately, based on the chips poll, it will likely be a stronger/sharper tasting snack that takes it.

The fact Doritos Zesty Cheese is the overall #1 seed makes me happy they got it right

For some reason, my Chrome decided that the page was in German so it translated "Rinds" to "Beef". I was confused as hell trying to figure out what "Pork Beef" was until I saw you all discussing Pork Rinds.

Why are Doritos on this and not the chip bracket?

Hickory sticks could be a sleeper in this, I feel its seeding is pretty low
