Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Applies to most other things as well. More often than not "original" are the best tasting.

What I wouldn't be surprised to find out is that specific brands of plain vs bbq vs cheese or whatever might shift things.

I agree with OP, but also think that Lays plain chips are the absolute worst: too thin and basically in a soup of oil and salt in the bag. I just think they're gross. Utz is much better, but generally I prefer the heartier kettle style.

Mind you, salt & vinegar is essentially the same as "plain", imo

Now there's the real unpopular opinion here. Lol.

I'm with you. Lays is grease in a bag with some potatoes mixed in.

Utz makes great chips for sure. I'm more of a ruffles fan overall, with Pringles being a kind of specific use case choice.

The great thing about utz, imo, is that they can dip as well as stand on their own.

Haven't had those in a good while, at least the plain ones. For a national / mass-market brand, they're pretty good, though.
