You are offered a choice between corn- or potato-based snack foods. The other will cease to exist forever. Corn and potatoes will both continue to exist for the purposes of other foods, but salty dry junk foods based upon them will be no more. Combinations of the two will automatically cease to exist either way, so “Andy Capp’s Fries” are right out.
You must choose one.
What’s it going to be?
Chili Cheese Fritos Forever!
IMHO Fritos, Tostitos, Cheetos, and Doritos offer a little more variety of flavors and textures (but not names) than potato chips.
Looks like I’m going to have to commit chip-induced suicide.
Going a bit off-topic here, but I’d like to rant about the mega-sized bags of chips that have taken over the convenience stores around here. I want a snack, not a meal!
I voted for potatoes, but to be honest, I don’t have strong feelings either way.
Guacamole is still around, right? If so, corn chips.
If not, kill me know because a world without guacamole is not one I want to live in.
Cell Guy kills himself…and Czarcasm invents guacamole and becomes a millionaire.
I went corn, only because I can’t use potato chips as an ingredient in chili.
Potato. It’s not even close.
I can eat guacamole on all kinds of things, including potato chips.
This - I rarely do chips as snacks any more unless it is a chips and salsa thing, or potato chips and dip thing at parties [which is maybe 2 to 3 times a year] as I am more a pretzel girl.
Thank God the rice cakes weren’t sacrificed. We couldn’t live without them.
Potatoes, by a narrow margin.
I’m drawing a blank on what exactly I’d lose. I’m not a fan of corn chips so those are out. French fries are meh, unless extra crispy. Corn Chex are the best of the 4 non-adorned flavors of Chex. And corn itself is great, and the OP seems to imply that the non-processed version of each (corn on the cob, baked potato maybe) are still existing. I’ll keep potatoes then, especially due to my corn chip ambivalence.
I’ll get rid of corn if I can also keep maize
Corn snacks are stupid, the good chips are flour tortilla, and Fritos? Please.
French fries, potato chips, and tater tots are all pretty good.
Where are you guy’s getting french fries as snack foods?
You don’t cook snack foods, you open a package and eat them.
Corn and I do not get along, so potatoes all the way.
I don’t want to live in a world with out chips and salsa.
I voted for corn–plain tortilla chips for salsa or bean dip; Cheetos; caramel corn; cheddar corn. Potato chips suck.
Corn. Corn has to be healthier than potatoes, right? Right?
Seriously, I’ve noticed a dearth of nacho cheese-flavored potato chips. So yeah, corn for me.
Corn. No contest. Far more versatile and varied, IMHO.
