When it comes to snacking, are you a "chips" person or a "nut?"?

Asked by charliecompany34 (7813points) October 24th, 2009

forget salty potato chips and cheese-dusted taco chips—where are the nuts? beer nuts? honey roasted? freeze-dried? almonds? filberts? pecans? almonds?

the list could go on and on, you know? but i believe nuts rule—they’re healthier and sinful at the same time. ahhh, pistachios and wine….

There’s nothing better than the nutty sweetness of cashews.

I was raised on peanuts and cashews. Pistachios are for pudding.

I don’t eat nuts. But my favorite snack is Nacho Cheese Doritos with cream cheese.

Bob, but I miss Corn Nuts. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them where I am. But I’m a nut person anyway. Sometime I feel like a nut, you know?

CHIPS!

Even better… CHEX MIX!

Sarcasm's avatar

I’m gonna side with @avvooooooo. Chex mix is amazing.
Chips definitely beat nuts (and cookies) though.

I don’t like chips, so I will be a nut. I love my almonds and pistachios.

avvooooooo's avatar

@Sarcasm I KNOW you just didn’t say that ANYTHING is better than COOKIES!

SACRILEGE!

Chex mix is the best of everything, isn’t it? Especially with all the different flavors. I think some of the mixes even have nuts too. : )

I love peanuts any way they come. Honey roasted are great. I always get the 59 cent tube of Planters. Walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts are great on and in brownies and baked goods. I like putting doritos on my turkey sandwhiches too. I think I like and eat more nuts because I feel like they give me more octane.

I eat chips much more often that I eat nuts. I love salsa verde Doritos, Fritos, tortilla chips with salsa, chips with guacamole, and all kinds of other flavored chips. They’re just great.

I don’t discriminate, if it’s fattening and salty, I LOVE IT!!!

janbb's avatar

@rooeytoo I’m with you! Down with false dichotomies! Wanna come to my house for a ‘fattening, salty” snack party?

sarahny's avatar

sometimes I feel like a nut….sometimes I don’t…. :)

Those “Airline” sized bottles make a nice “Snack”.…

rooeytoo's avatar

@janbb – I’m there! When is the party!!!

janbb's avatar

@rooeytoo Let’s see – you’re in Australia and I’m in New Jersey; let’s meet in Hawaii in 15 hours!

rooeytoo's avatar

@janbb – That is a great idea! I’ll be the one with a sunburned nose and a Kakadu t shirt. How will I recognize you?

janbb's avatar

@rooeytoo Well, the cheapest way for me to get there will probably be to swim so I’ll be the very thin, bedraggled penguin on the beach who looks very hungry.

BraveWarrior's avatar

I prefer nuts, especially with dried fruit :)

rooeytoo's avatar

@janbb – well I won’t bring my dog with me then, she would probably make a snack out of you!!!

janbb's avatar

@rooeytoo thanks! (lol)

untainted peanuts. i mean, out of the shell, and with no salt or anything. not roasted. raw peanuts.

I have recently fallen in love with these almonds made by blue diamond. They are the blue diamond bold type of almonds. They have crazy blends like salt & vinegar, wasabi & soy sauce, salt & pepper. They are so good! The wasabi & soy sauce ones are by far my favorite though. Give these a try if you enjoy spicy foods and of course almonds!

mass_pike4's avatar

Oh and I forgot about the smokehouse jalapeno blend they make as well. For those of you that enjoy smoked almonds with a little flair, this is the almond for you!
