SALTY SNACK VS SWEET SNACK

[E equals MC2]

I grew up LOVING salty snacks... potato chips, ranch doritos, nacho with salsa, nacho with melted cheese, BEEF JERKY, pretzel sticks, popcorn, NUTS! (almond, cashews, peanuts), cheese, crackers, and crap load of other types I can't think of.

I love salty snacks because they also go very well with beer....

My GF LOVES sweet snacks.... ALL KINDS OF ICE CREAM, Godiva Chocolate, chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate-covered coffee beans, COOKIES (Milano!, chocolate chip cookies, raisin cookies), Oreos, gummi bears, poprocks, lolipops, CHEESECAKE, apple pie, danish pastries, cotton candy, etc....

When I was younger, I would choose salty in a heartbeat but as I got older, I seem to have grown a sweet tooth. I can't decide now.

Which do you prefer? Also be sure to post your answer with your favorite sweet/salty snack we may have missed.

I don't snack on sweets, so salty it is.

i think it all depends on what else I plan on eating/drinking during the course of the day. I have a major sweet tooth, I love all kinds of sweets. But lately, as snacks I've been trying to go a somewhat healthy route, such as yogurt or something.
i love jerky too, but..mm, sad, because my favorite jerky is somewhat expensive, but has great value ($12 for a 1lb back, the World's Kitchen brand jerky, find it at Kroger and sometimes a few other places).

no love for chocolate chip cookies with milk?

chunky monkey ice cream?

frozen yogurt?

 

[Dirigible]

Salty kicks Sweet's butt.

My favorite is popcorn with salt 'n' butter. Made in a pot on the stove. Mmmm.... That would go well with the beer I'm drinking right now. Be right back!

no go on chunky monkey, but i love frozen yogurt, but never actually buy it. but ice cream is always in my freezer (chocolate varieties), and cookies and milk, mmhmm. Got a stash of a few boxes of oreos for that reason too.
and I just had a brownie with milk. made brownies tonight.

Sweet when hungry, otherwise salty.

Sweets get boring after a while.

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Man, salty stuff is really good, but sometimes I have a huge hankering for some gummie bears. So both are pretty good. Salty wins though.

I think you got it backwards.

Salty when hungry: jerky, nachos, wings, etc...
Sweet when full: all kinds of dessert

i can eat breakfast food all day. And breakfast foods for me = sweet. French toast, pancakes, cereal, eggs and cheese... last one being salty, but you get the idea.

That's probably my biggest "sweet" craving is gummy candy.

Gummy cherries and strawberries are oh-soo-gooooooooooood.

breakfast is salty too?

omlelets, homefries, sausages, ham, english muffin, toast....

MMMMMM overcooked crispy homefries with ketchup = HEAVEN

 

[Bill Brasky]

The only reason I voted sweet is because I always crave apples when I want a snack.

 

[johnjbruin]

Continuously alternating between the two

 

[Throckmorton]

Depends on the mood I'm in for.. if you only like one kind of snack you're crazy

 

[Gothgar]

I usually go for salty... but how about chocolate covered pretzels... salty and sweet ftmfw

of course you would



and i cant beleive no one commented on that before me

 

[StevenYoo]

chocolate covered pretzels = sweet + salty

ftw

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I go for salty more often than I go for sweet. I love potato chips, popcorn, pickles, nachos etc. But sometimes I prefer sweets and when you're in the mood for sweets salty just won't cut it. If you've got a hankering for chocolate ice cream all the salty snacks in the world won't make it go away.

 

[dighn]

salty by far. I can't stand most sweets anyway.

 

[RU482]
