If I remember correctly, the chips bracket was just potato chips. Looks like they have clubbed corn based chips with other salty snacks.


I wonder if they do a meat snack bracket. That’d be good too. Good Mythical Morning on YouTube keeps doing these interesting brackets, which are worth a binge, if you guys haven’t seen them. They have done them for cookies, ice cream, snacks etc.

Oversight?

Then again I have a hard time classifying them as chips. Too small.

I don’t look at hickory sticks to be chips. They are potato snacks

Well... they’re clearly ‘sticks’

Yeah if it's only as good as the dip you're using, then the snack itself probably isn't hat good

Nah. Idk about nacho, but I just had a bag of Arriba Zesty Cheese 2 days ago and Doritos is superior. So much cheeeeesier.

I love the 2nd round matchup of Zesty vs Nacho, no more beating around the bush. Though I'm a little worried as I know nacho is the more popular one usually. Have people finally figured out Zesty is infinately cheesier tasting, and thus better? Time will tell..

Crunchy Jalapeno Cheetos are better than everything else in the poll.

Disappointed that Popcorn Twists are out in the first round itself. Too many Doritos going forward, that it seems more than likely one of them will win.

I only found this out a few years ago, but Old Dutch is actually an American company. They were around for 20 years before they opened their first Canadian plant in Winnipeg. Their head office is in Minnesota and primarily serve the midwest.


Cadbury's is British, although some of the products they sell in Canada were originally produced by Neilson, which was a Canadian company (they still use the Neilson brand name on Jersey Milk and their Will-O-Pak boxes).

This is true, but anecdotally, I have never seen Old Dutch products for sale in the midwest. Not even in Minnesota.

Meanwhile, Old Dutch has tons of distribution throughout Canada. It's odd.
