Chocolate? Candy? Never been my weakness.

Chips? Absolutely. My entire life, I have succumbed to the crunch. This is a forum with a ton of computer geeks, so I'm sure there are plenty of junk food lovers out there. What do you munch?

Poll kept private to ensure the anonymity of chip addicts everywhere. Specify the flavor of each brand in your post.

I generally try to stay away from junk food, but since I have kids in my house there's always a certain amount of junk food.

I'll be the lone voice in the wilderness and say that I prefer fruit over junk food. , i.e., apples, grapes, raisins etc.

A stain? Perhaps a red dot on the lounge?

Why are so many of the poll options possessive? Is that to imply that they own you or they've made you their bitch?

Nacho chips, cheetos, jalapeno dirty chips, I like them all really. Except for pringles. Pringles are just too processed for me and something always seems off about the flavor.
My wife is also big on chips and junk food and I happen to be eating some of the new chocolate twizzlers as I write this.

I think it depends on what you're eating the chips (crisps) with that determines the best chip.

Due to an earlier promise, I can delve no further into this, but I can stand and applaud you. Or I could just give you a .

What about greasy Wise Chips? Those are great with vanilla ice cream!



Also the Salt & Vinegar (but not with ice cream, that would be immoral)

Forgot Bugles.

There's nothing better than a chip that you can play "witch fingers" with.

Shrimp chips. Uncooked (inedible) on the bottom left. Deep fried (yummy) on top right:



For potato chips, my favourite are Miss Vickie's Unsalted:



Miss Vickie's is owned by Frito-Lay, but I much prefer these chips to Lays and Fritos (or Doritos or Sun Chips, etc.).

They're like the Kettle chips in thickness and texture, but they don't have the mild burnt taste that the Kettle brand chips have.

I enjoy Tostitos Hint of Lime chips a lot, and Chili Cheese Fritos are pretty good, too. In honor of this thread I bought a bag tonight on my way home so that I wouldn't fall asleep at the wheel.
