Are Cheetos chips? Yay or nay?

 

[mullet2000]

No.

 

[nhlducks35]

Yes

 

[vypek]

Maybe

 

[hydrophilic attack]

inconclusive

 

[Iadien]

nope

 

[KojiKnight]

Is it in the chips aisle? Is it a dip? Then it must be a chip.

 

[One Eyed Willy]

Are they on the chip isle?

 

[Rookhelm]

They're puffs

 

[quesalupa]

I don't see why not.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Made from fried corn.

There exist fried corn chips

Ergo Cheetos are chips.

 

[SpaceWolf]

No, they're crisps, you silly yank.

 

[Lunar15]

For the love of god can we just call them cheetos. I'm tired of classifying food.

 

[MIMIC]

No. They're cheese curls.

 

[Vanillalite]

Is it in the chips aisle? Is it a dip? Then it must be a chip.

So Pretzels are chips by this definition?

 

[vypek]

Good edit

 

[hiryu64]

Can you repeat the question?

 

[shiftplusone]

Is it in the chips aisle? Is it a dip? Then it must be a chip.

Rold Gold Pretzels are also on the chip aisle though and pretzels are neither chip nor dip

 

[NullPointer]

Nay. They are the powdery stools excreted from a fake-cheese machine.

 

[thekonamicode]

Of course not.

 

[yanipheonu]

Depends on the context.

Clearly they aren't actually potato chips, but I'm not going pretend it isn't easier to label them as chips in a grocery store section.

 

[Skellig Gra]

It's a corn puff.

 

[KojiKnight]

Rold Gold Pretzels are also on the chip aisle though and pretzels are neither chip nor dip

Those tiny ass sticks and curls? I'd consider those chips. Real pretzels are big and fluffy.

 

[shadowkat]

No.

 

[buttery fistful]

They're puffs

 

[Denali]

Nah man

 

[jstripes]

No. They're extruded orange foam.

Now, Doritos could be classified as chips.

 

[MrNelson]

No.

No.

Yes

Maybe

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Yeah, I mean they fall under 'crisps' really.

 

[Walter White Walker]

No.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I think they're considered puffs or "doodles."

 

[sixteen-bit]

not chips

 

[Chozoman]

Whenever I eat Doritos or Fritos or Cheetos, I can't shake the feeling that I'm eating "Human Feed"...like the human equivalent of livestock feed.

It never stops me from eating them, but I do feel that way.

 

[Hypemaster]

duh

 

[Username1198]

There "corn" based "cheese" puffs

Or "cheese " shaped "corn" cylinders

 

[truestatic]

They are cheese puffs.

 

[ascii42]

According to the bag, they are "cheese flavored snacks"

Same with the Puff variety.

 

[acheron_xl]

Are Doritos 3Ds chips? Are Bugles chips? A Frito is a corn chip, but what about those Fritos Flavor Twists that look like rotini. Are they chips?

 

[Alebrije]

Nope

 

[ReAxion]

for the same reasons Pringles can't be called chips, neither can Cheetos.

I haven't eaten puffs since I've seen this scene.

 

[Stabby McSter]

it says it on the bag i don't know how much more conclusive you can get

 

[Ridli]

They are "snacky snacks."

 

[Veritigo_X]

for the same reasons Pringles can't be called chips, neither can Cheetos.

Huh, what reason is that? Because Pringles are definitely chips.

 

[5taquitos]

it says it on the bag i don't know how much more conclusive you can get

I'm sitting here looking at various Cheetos bags on GIS and I'm not seeing "Chips" anywhere.

 

[Ridli]

Huh, what reason is that? Because Pringles are definitely chips.

Pretty sure pringles are designated crisps, even in America.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Yes

 

[8bit]

No

 

[adamantypants]

I think of this every time I see a bag of puffs

 

[Eric WK]

No.

 

[v1lla21]

If you're Latino all chips are cheetos according to our eldeds, so yeah.
