If you had to choose between a sweet snack(cookies, pastry, cake) or a salty snack(chips, nuts, popcorn). Which would you choose?

Depends on my mood. Both are good. Would vote more towards salty though. I love salty things.

Lately I’ve been craving salty things like crazy. My sodium is somewhat low, maybe why.

It would depend on what appealed to me at the time. I rarely snack. Never caught the habit.

Salty. Sweet snacks have too many calories and spike my blood glucose; I am not eating anything that is, or quickly reduces to, simple sugars.

My current snack is a stalk of organic celery filled with organic 100% almond butter.

Like forever? For the rest of my life commit to one or the other? Yikes! I would have to go with sweet. No salty. No sweet.

Sweet.

Salty—and spicy is a bonus!

Usually salty. But, I have been forcing myself to eat more fruit, so that would be sweet. We’ll see how it goes.

I don’t like sweet foods on average, I would go for the salty.

I definitely lean more towards sweet. They’re both good—and I love them together—but sweet wins the day with me.

Sweets, always. I don’t like potato chips or salt at all.

Cheese or nuts, so I guess salty. I’d rather have a good piece of cheese over chocolate any time.

Both.

Salty over sweet. But chocolate dipped pretzels are a lovely compromise.

I usually would pick the salty. The sweets snacks make me crash an hour later.

@geeky_mama A Payday bar is the perfect mix of salty sweet

Salty popcorn? wtf

Fruity – so sweet and tangy/tart.

Lemon squares please.

Depends on my mood. Right now, I wish I had more sweets in the house. I was in a “salty” mood when I went grocery shopping the other day, so I have tons of chips and things, but nothing sweet.

@Seaofclouds Make something. Cookies or icing or a sweet drink.

Can’t possibly pick one. Sometimes I eat Doritos and Oreos at the same time.

I used to prefer salty to sweet at all times, but I’ve developed quite a sweet tooth in the last several years. In a best case scenario, I want sweet and salty (and crunchy) all together. For me, that’s a Take 5 candy bar, or Salted Caramel Cracker Jack’d.

Being outside a lot during hot weather requires salty food, therefore I prefer this during the summer.

If you put a gun to my head, and pried the salty out of my fingers while I cry (salty) tears of bitter outrage, I’d hold on to the sweet.

The Sophie’s Choice of snack foods…

Sweet please!

Salty & Savory, always.
I could go the rest of my life without ice cream, candy, or any pastries… but I’d be very sad without Kerala mix.

I usually like salty foods, but when I’m depressed or upset about something, chocolate is usually what I like better in that instance. Well, I suppose I should be more specific…. I am up for popcorn ANYTIME. Nuts… It depends on what kind. I usually like chips, but sometimes they don’t fit my mood. Chocolate, I can usually eat anytime, and it makes me happy, and hyper, but sweet cereals or something don’t usually sit well with me. I like sweet things, but when I snack on something, I usually want it to be salty.
