I cant believe so many people are against kettle chips! Seriously guys…Pop chips taste great and all…. But as far as snacks go….Kettle chips are the best. I really think the pop chips vs kettle chips is a little unfair. Long live kettle chips…. This should have been a no brainer Reply raoul March 30th, 2011 I know I just left a remark. But if you are counting calories, this is the wrong blog for you to be on. This is a junk food blog. Who cares if one snack food is better than another. This blog is about empty calories and unhealthy foods– this blog is about what foods give you the most immediate pleasure!!!! not what is most healthy for you– LONG LIVE KETTLE CHIPS!!!!! Reply Beth March 30th, 2011 @Lea…Kettle chips’ crunchiness is why I love them so much! To each his own, I guess. LOL Reply FOK March 31st, 2011 They aren’t fried, they aren’t baked–they’re popped! That’s why they are so good. That and a very effective viral marketing campaign. Reply Janet March 31st, 2011 Frankly, I don’t care who wins. I’m just mad my cupboard is bare after voting for those yummy snacks. *stomach growling* Reply Jay March 31st, 2011 Go Terra Chips! Reply Emily March 31st, 2011 Go Popchips!!!! Reply Wine Traveler March 31st, 2011 Raoul, I sympathize with you in that Kettle would be my second choice and it is a shame that it came up against popchips so soon. But healthy or not popchips rule. Reply lisa March 31st, 2011 i haven’t met a chip i didn’t like but i have to say there’s nothing more heavenly than a ruffles chip dunked in some onion dip. pop chips salt vinegar are crunchy divinity Reply Lauren March 31st, 2011 Hands down popchips are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!
