Popularity Contest: Munchies (Round 1)
 

A local paper has created a bracketed tournament for snack items. In honor of the NCAA tournament going on, they've dubbed this "Munch Madness." I have seen popularity, tournament-style threads on another board I go to. I have made some of the paper's entries more broad and changed a couple for various reasons.

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars
Skittles vs. Twinkies
Bugles vs. Moon Pies
York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs
Pringles vs. Almond Joy
Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn
Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs
Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos
Cracker Jacks vs. Combos
M&Ms vs. Raisinets
Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish

Let the voting commence!

EDIT: More than likely, I will stop the voting in a week, if this thread isn't dead by then.

Ho Hos - I don't know what Mallomars are, but Ho Hos are yum.
Skittles - Difficult choice, but I can never get sick of Skittles.
Moon Pies - Don't eat much either, but I'll choose Moon Pies
York Peppermint Patties - I rarely eat these, but I'll choose the York Peppermint Patties.
Pringles - Pringles, easy. Once you pop, you can't stop.
Cheez-It Crackers - Cheez-It, my current love.
Chex Mix - Chex Mix is what I usually get from snack vending machines. The good stuff.
Pretzel Sticks - Pretzel Sticks are always solid.
Gummi Bears - I love Gummi Bears.
Cheetos - I'm a fan of the cheese... and that cat. I select Cheetos.
Oreo Double Stuf - I like both. But since it's "double stuf," I'll choose the Oreo.
Girl Scout Thin Mints - I just had some Thin Mints, and I definitely like it better than Cool Ranch Doritoes. I choose Girl Scout Thin Mints.
Cracker Jacks - I don't really eat either. Cracker Jacks.
M&Ms - M&Ms are my go-to.
Kraft Caramels - Meh... neither is going two more rounds. Kraft Caramels.
Hershey's Kisses - This was a very hard decision. I love both, but I'll go with Hershey's Kisses. :(

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars - wtf is a Mallomar?
Skittles vs. Twinkies - Twinkies aren't actually good. why lie.
Bugles vs. Moon Pies - I hate banana flavor, but Bugles would beat most things anyway.
York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs - Yorks are only awesome because i never eat them, so its like a treat.
Pringles vs. Almond Joy - Almond Joys have aids, straight up.
Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn - Candy Corn is too sweet after like 3 :(
Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix - Although I prefer home made to pre-packaged, most of their flavors/mixes suck.
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs - I LOVE Cadbury Creme Eggs, they need to sell them year round!
Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears - This was a tough one, I picked gummi bears only because there is much better Pepperoni sticks (thats what those things are right?) than Slim Jims, although they are still good.
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos - What is a Fudge Round?
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf - Funyuns were good in 7th grade, after that I lost pretty much all interest in them.
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos - Thin Mints win because you could eat a whole box and you wouldn't have Dorito-breath, gg.
Cracker Jacks vs. Combos - Cracher Jacks are good, but just the fact that you get a shitty prize every time makes me hate them.
M&Ms vs. Raisinets - EL OH EL Raisins :rollseyes:

The only difficult one was the very last one

And why is Poppycock not on the list

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars (don't even know what the hell Mallowmars are)
Skittles vs. Twinkies (Skittles are just friuty M&Ms, and no one likes a fruit)
Bugles vs. Moon Pies (c'mon, everyone loves doing the finger thing)
York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs (I never saw the appeal of those things)
Pringles vs. Almond Joy (Pringles just don't work for me as potato chips)
Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn (I never saw the appeal of those things either)
Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs (only because I usually always prefer something with chocolate in it, even though they both kinda suck)
Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears (once again, no one like a fruit)
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos (fudge rounds have got to be one of the worst Little Debbie snacks out there)
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf (oreos suck)
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos (no contest, everyone always wants to get the blue bag)
Cracker Jacks vs. Combos (only because I've never had those things before)

Too bad they didn't have Sun Chips in there. :(

Ho Hos - I'm not sure about the other one, but my experience with this one has been good.
Skittles - I just find them more interesting with the different flavors.
Bugles - Again, for the variety in flavors.
Ding Dongs - I'm not sure I've had these, but I don't eat much mint with chocolate.
Pringles - Definitely Pringles for this pairing. I like chips more than the coconut of Almond Joy.
Cheez-It Crackers - I favor crackers over candy again.
Keebler Deluxe Grahams - I don't eat either one too much, but I'll choose this one.
Pretzel Sticks - I suppose I'm not a fan of the overly sweet foods.
Gummi Bears - I've had both, but I like the fruit flavors of gummi bears more.
Cheetos - Cheese is probably one of my favorite flavors for chips.
Oreo Double Stuf - I'll choose cookies over chips.
Girl Scout Thin Mints - This is the only mint food I'll have.
Combos - I've had this more than cracker jacks.
M&Ms - I like them more.
Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish - This is a difficult one, but I'll choose kisses.

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars - Is this.. is this a prostitute vs... a squishy.. planet?
Skittles vs. Twinkies - Skittles. Try putting a twinkie in your beer, they're nowhere near as fun.
Pringles vs. Almond Joy - VON JOY JOY. I will choose Pringles here, the mascot is a bit like the Monopoly guy.
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs - Pretzels dipped in Cadbury Creme Eggs is the only solution.
Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears - They bounce here, and there, and apparently they bounce everywhere. Gummi Bears.
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos - Fudge Rounds would make for an excellent boxing game. Gloves coated in hot fudge, hot fudge that is actually LAVA. Cheetos for the win.
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos - Are either of these made of what their names suggest?
M&Ms vs. Raisinets - Nothing can win against M&Ms. Nothing.
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish - Why would you eat a goldfish?

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars - What the hell are these things?
Skittles vs. Twinkies - Hmm...Skittles. Tough choice though...
Bugles vs. Moon Pies - Bugles, only because I've never tried a Moon Pie.
York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs - I'm not fond of Chocolate and Mint together, so Ding Dongs it is.
Pringles vs. Almond Joy - Almond Joy disgusts me.
Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn - Cheez-Its are pretty darn good, and I'm not much of a fan of Candy Corn.
Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix - Chex Mix bacuase of the variety of flavors there are.
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs - I'm a fan of pretzels.
Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears - I love Gummi Bears. Especially the Red one.
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos - A bag of Hot Fries Cheetos. That's some good stuff.
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf - Oreos and a glass of milk. Enough said.
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos - Again, Chocolate and Mint do not make a good combination.
Cracker Jacks vs. Combos - Cracker Jacks
M&Ms vs. Raisinets - Peanut Butter M&Ms are awesome.
Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee - Because it says Caramel, and I like Caramel.
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish - Chocolate by itself can get pretty sickening after a while.

Skittles vs. Twinkies - Hmm.. this is actually a hard one. Skittles.
Bugles vs. Moon Pies - Cheese bugles.
Pringles vs. Almond Joy - Pringles. I like them better than most chips.
Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn - Cheezits rock.. I've never met anyone who actually liked candy corn.
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos - I really dig the flamin hot cheetos..
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf - Funyuns...
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos - I hate the smell of cool ranch for one, I think thin mints win hands down...
M&Ms vs. Raisinets - M&Ms, but only if they're peanut.
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish - Goldfish are one of the greatest snack foods evar.

Not being a fat arse - being a fat arse.

Tough call!

Bolded = A winner!
 

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars - Never tried Mallo-mars(?) But I'm sure it'll be hard to beat the good ol' Ho Hos. How did they ever come up with that name?

Skittles vs. Twinkies - Skittles helped me get through those boring lectures at class. Might as well help it out for once =p.

Bugles vs. Moon Pies - I don't get to eat those often but they are quite good. And fattening.

York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs - Never tried the former. Plus its ding dongs!

Pringles vs. Almond Joy - Pringles win, they're not sticky and make a excellent beach snack.

Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn - When combined with some of dip, tuna especially. The crackers can make for a deadly tasty snack.

Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix - If we're talking about those party mix bags then I'm sold. I know its not good for me but I do remember eating them for dinner once or twice while living in the dorms. They're addicting, I tell you!

Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs - I don't eat either often. Actually I haven't tried either for at least a couple years. Since I'm one for sweeter foods I picked the eggs.

Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears - Never really liked slim jims. That's all I have to say about it.

Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos - What are Fudge Rounds? Anyway, Cheetos FTW.

Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf - By themselves I probably would've picked the Funyuns. But add a glass of milk and the cookies take the lead.

Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos - Funky ranch chips are alright on a hot day. Plus I never actually tried any Girl Scout Thin Mints.

Cracker Jacks vs. Combos - Combos never sat well in my stomach. Plus you get free stuff with those Cracker Jacks.

M&Ms vs. Raisinets - I love raisins, therefore I cannot and will not deny chocolate covered raisins. M&M's can burn in hell >=L.

Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee - I'm a sucker for caramel treats, but that's besides the point.

Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish - It really depends on the type of Hershey's Kisses but more often than not I'm probably gonna be in the mood for chocolate rather than goldfish crackers.

-.- long post, I'm going to bed.

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars
Skittles vs. Twinkies
Bugles vs. Moon Pies
York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs
Pringles vs. Almond Joy
Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn
Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs
Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos
Cracker Jacks vs. Combos
M&Ms vs. Raisinets
Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee - i dont know either of them
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish

this made me hungry @_@

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars - I don't like either too much, but if I had to choose, it would be the Ho Hos.
Skittles vs. Twinkies - Skittles, all the way.
Bugles vs. Moon Pies - I don't like moon pies.
York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs
Pringles vs. Almond Joy
Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn
Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix - I really like the Sweet and Salty Chex Mix
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs
Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears
Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos
Cracker Jacks vs. Combos
M&Ms vs. Raisinets
Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish

That was a fairly even division between sweet and salty.

Ho Hos vs. Mallomars: Come again?

Skittles vs. Twinkies: Skittles. Twinkies are disgusting, and they reek of evil. :(

Bugles vs. Moon Pies: I've never had a Moon Pie before, but Bugles are awesome. It's my favorite among the chippy variety of foods.

York Peppermint Patties vs. Ding Dongs: Again, I've never tried the latter. However, I love peppermint patties. Mmm! It's a great snack when playing videogames.

Pringles vs. Almond Joy: I don't really like chips in the first place, with the exception of a select few. Seeing as how I love chocolate and coconut, my vote goes to Almond Joy!

Cheez-It Crackers vs. Candy Corn: I've never been able to eat candy corn. While I don't really like Cheez-Its, as they give me headaches, they're much better than the corns.

Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix: I'm assuming that the Deluxe Grahams are like normal graham crackers, so I'm voting for Chex Mix. I prefer Gardhettos, but the brown bread chip things are really tasty.

Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs: Pretzels rock. Period.

Slims Jims vs. Gummi Bears: Why, oh why?! I'm obsessed with Jack Link's beef sticks, and if that were there instead of Slim Jims, I would have chosen it. However, I'll have to say gummy bears because of that. Gummies are yummy.

Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos: I've never heard of fudge rounds before, but I really love Cheetos. MMM!

Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf: I can't even stand NORMAL Oreos!

Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos: Drool.

Cracker Jacks vs. Combos: As I've said before, pretzels rule. The normal cheddar cheese and pretzel combination is much tastier than the other varieties, in my opinion. I've also never had Cracker Jacks before.

M&Ms vs. Raisinets: I'm obsessed with Raisinets. End of story.

Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee: Uh....

Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish: Like the Cheez-Its, I get major headaches from Goldfish. I also get tired of their taste after a handful anyways. Chocolate wins!

New question. Cheetos or Hot Cheetos?

For those too lazy to look it up: Mallomars - a cookie in the marshmallow sandwich genre, produced seasonally at Nabisco. A circle of Graham cracker is covered with a puff of extruded marshmallow, then enrobed (not dipped) in a hard dark chocolate shell.
And you would make me choose between Frito-Lay products (the company that is one of my clients) and other items... >_<

Keebler Deluxe Grahams vs. Chex Mix
Pretzel Sticks vs. Cadbury Creme Eggs

Fudge Rounds vs. Cheetos - eating a bag of them right now in fact
Funyuns vs. Oreo Double Stuf
Girl Scout Thin Mints vs. Cool Ranch Doritos - torn... go with the client that helps pay my paycheck or go with the NPO?
Cracker Jacks vs. Combos - what the hell? I had to look up what combo's were... it must be sold everywhere by the West Coast, but since I'm not a Cracker Jacks fan it got the vote by default
M&Ms vs. Raisinets
Kraft Caramels vs. Lance ToastChee - another that I had to look up... crackers will always win out over candy for me...
Hershey's Kisses vs Goldfish


Editted to prevent double-posting...
Actually the question should be...
Crunchy Cheetos? Hot Cheetos? Hot Limon Cheetos? Cheeto Puffs? Cheeto Twists? Baked Cheetos?
I know there are more varieties... I just can't think of them right now... I should look through the plant locations and see what they produce for me...
