If you tried pork rinds, you wouldn’t buy another chip.

Good taste and ca-runchy!

Swifts is different. I eschew the pork-flavored foam peanuts!

Least favorite nut

But they are the ultimate in junk and processed food. And I do like nuts - technically, peanuts aren’t nuts anyway. Potato chips are my real downfall; cannot resist the crunch, salt, and worst of all -oil. 🙄

As long as I can keep my popcorn and peanuts I’ll be fine.

Sitting by a pool is the only way I like potato chips. They’re okay but I wouldn’t go out of my way for them. I do like chips by the pool for some reason.

So chips (too oily), Doritos (good but dangerous), peanuts (too oily) had to go. Popcorn, with no flavoring added was the winner.

I'll go with popcorn.

They are difficult to chew when wearing dentures. I used to like all types of nuts, but cashews are the only nuts that are soft enough to attempt to eat these days.

I pull out all the almonds.

... you get rid of Doritos. I don't dislike them particularly, but there are many other brands of corn chips, some of which are better.

best.

The peanuts are mine!

Years ago after eating them at a college party I got sick. Ok, there may have been some drinking involved, but I could never touch a Dorito again.

Thankfully, your list did not include White Cheddar Cheezits. They would be hard to give up.

I am not a fan of nuts and those aren’t among my favorites. Can live without them for sure.

Peanuts are a great snack lowen glycemic count and healthy for you. Popcorn at least is not a negative health risk. The others Doritos Cheetos potato chips are all just carbohydrates salt and sugar. Get rid of them.

- seems they often have aflatoxins. Cashews and pistachios are my favorites- no peanuts for me. Cashew and almond butter are also better choices than peanut butter.

“Aflatoxins in Nuts: Danger or Hype?
Some of the scary things you may have heard about nuts and aflatoxins are probably exaggerated. Nonetheless, these are not imaginary concerns”

Is TOXIC. Fried in peanut or coconut oil are OKAY. Peanuts are no problem as long as you aren’t allergic. If you want to fight inflammation drop all seed oils, basically all restaurant fried foods.

They make them and they are soooo good.
The book about oils is called Dark Calories by Dr. Catherine Shanahan…she is an outlier but I have changed my diet…inflammation is the root of all disease. John Fuglesang has had her on his Sirius Show where I heard her. By the way, I forgot all of the other fats that are safe are the natural ones like butter and lard and beef tallow. They’re all perfectly safe to fry in.

It was really only good for movie theaters or the circus anyway...two pastimes that are in decline.

Plus, the kernels get in your teeth and bother you until you can floss them out.

And, as a cinephile, I've sat in many a darkened theater with a bag of corn dripping with that stuff manufactured by 3M that they pass off as 'butter.' Yet after about five minutes of consuming it, I'm over it. Starts feeling like I'm eating packing material. And the microwave stuff is hideous.

using a large, multi-quart pan that she would move back and forth over the stove's heating coils. It was Jiffy Pop for poor folks. She did occasionally splurge and get us some Jiffy Pop, or buy a jar of Orville Redenbacher kernels, but those treats were few and far between.

I will still buy a bag at the movies every now and again, but I never get more than halfway into the bag before I give up. And, that's their 'small' size. I see people there getting these HUGE tubs and then going back for refills. I don't know how they do it.

a pan with a lid, It was fun watching the lid get pushed off by the popped corn. I know, cheap thrills.

I like peanuts just fine, but popcorn is my favorite, followed by either nacho cheese or cool ranch Doritos. I don't like bbq or sour cream & onion potato chips, though. Plain chips, cheddar & sour cream, & salt & vinegar for me!

Yuck

The strange aftertaste is gross!

Got ya, Deb! You didn't say all nuts! There's still cashews, almonds & macadamia nuts!
Though, I make my Thai Coconut curry with peanuts, so my wife will be unhappy.
But, I still get my salty snacks.

Nuts dotcom.
The prices are quite good and we got shelled Brazil nuts. Boy, they were great! We got hazelnuts too. They have lots of nuts we can't get in the supermarket here.
My wife made a killer, gourmet Chex mix. I could eat it by the pound.

It just doesn't taste as good to me anymore.
😎

I like chips with a sandwich and I love popcorn for a snack. Peanuts yes as well because I like all natural peanut butter. I like to occasionally have a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast. Goes good with coffee.

I’ve spent a fortune on my teeth, I’m not digging out those shells.

I eat popcorn several times a week. I consider peanuts a healthy snack. So I could manage just with them.

I want to try their sweet Chilli chips s well.

I've enjoyed peanuts since childhood, esp PB smooth, or chunky.
I later made an Chinese Asian style PB that I got at an activists' meeting. Peanuts, soy sauce, garlic & ginger. Very tasty!!!
Maybe I should make it again, and add scallions.

I especially love popcorn w white cheddar. Yum!
If I'd had 3 more $ going to the supermarket last night I'd have gotten Smart Food's popcorn w white cheddar. I don't think I'd ever seen it there’s before. Gotten Trader's brand as well. 👍

Never giving up peanuts.
