Post by: Dr Rick Daris on January 03, 2014, 12:36:43 PM
so you are at your aunt edna's for a family reunion. you brought the pop. uncle ronnie stopped by kfc for some chicken. there is some potato salad from dillons that mysteriously appeared. but you want a chip. a potato chip. oh there they are over there. there are only three kinds though-regular, sour cream and bbq. which is your go to in that situation? which is your favorite? which do you like the most? please don't stand up empty handed and walk out the door. this is snackoff, the first one in one four.

A year ago I would've said BBQ, but my palate has matured since then. Sour cream and onion, please!

This is assuming that jalapeno is not available.

BBQ is clearly king here. also since they are the best, they will be fresher and not stale and moldy and infested like the two other shitbird flavours

I guess sour cream but were I at the store with more options, none of these 3 would make it in my shopping basket.

This played into my decision too. The plain/beans combo is delicious. Plain is pretty  :Yuck: without a dip though.

He has to mean SC & onion. I've never seen plain sour cream flavored potato chips.

I chose SC&O out of these three options. I like BBQ chips too. I don't dislike plain chips, but they're just so ... plain, so I'd probably leave them alone.

IF I had my druthers (sp?) about all potato chips, I'd go the Art & Mary's JalapeƱo route, without any hesitation.

And there are SO many snacks out there just waiting to be debated . . . what do you eat when you drink beer? Snacks!

What do you do when you watch a big game? Eat snacks (and drink beer).

Hell, you could broaden it out from just snack foods: what about best fried chicken in KC? Best beer (or beer of a certain type to keep it apples v apples).

Just spitballin' here.
