Reply Spam April 6th, 2011 I do have to say that Popchips stuffing the ballot box so hard is taking all the fun out of Snack Madness. Reply Travis Graham April 7th, 2011 well it happens every year Spam… i forget who it was during the Fast Food Bracket last year, but it happens. i must say i’ve never tried a popchip. i’ve seen them but have never been compelled to buy them. when i buy a chip i don’t go for healthy. pringles it is for me. Reply Jimmy April 7th, 2011 Try popchips once and you will become a fan forever! Go Popchips! Reply Wine Traveler April 7th, 2011 No Stuffing going on (except Popchips into peoples mouths), this is truly a better chip. Once you try it you will agree. and they have a huge Twitter and Facebook following so probably more aware consumers therefore more votes. I’m a fan of Pringles also, but popchips is better. Reply Eick April 7th, 2011 @spam – stuffing the ballot box would be one person voting many times (I have a system set up to prevent that). If popchips has lots of people they can motivate to vote through social media, that’s not really ballot stuffing, just loyal fans. Although Pringles has mounted a huge comeback, looks like the popchips run may be over. Reply Clio Stewart April 7th, 2011 Great tasting, healthy snack option! …no need to compromise! Reply Girls Prep PTA April 7th, 2011 Delicious and light…perfect after-school snack for healthy little girls. Reply Eric April 7th, 2011 If you have not tried Popchips you don’t know what’s popping!!! Reply JP's Best Bud April 7th, 2011 These are the most amazing snacks ever they are so addicting..cant eat just one and good for you too! Reply Jeff April 7th, 2011 @Spam, How asking friend to vote stufing the ballot. There is the possibility that the friend we tell, actually liking Pringles better and voting for them. Also, I found out about this from Popchips facebook page, there is nothing wrong with Popchips telling their fans about this, and asking them to vote. Pringles has a facebook page and guess what? They are doing the SAME THING. So Popchips is not doing anything that Pringles is not doing as well. Its great PR and each company is working to try to get each one the winner!. Reply Jeff April 7th, 2011 Pringles has over 11 million followers, and popchips has 113,000 followers. Now I ask you. Since this is such a close race.. Who has the more avid followers? 🙂 Reply FERNANDO GALARZE April 7th, 2011 Popchips taste like chips without the oil and they have some great flavors BBQ my favorite. Other non oil products, tast bland, kind of like hospital food! Reply Kelly Baker April 7th, 2011 How is this actually a competition? It’s popchips all the way for a million reasons (taste, flavors, quality of ingredients, non-greasy fingers, popped not fried, bag vs. can and on and on). Plus, I don’t trust anyone with a moustache, so the creepy Pringles cartoon guy loses it for them automatically. 😉 Reply Kristi April 7th, 2011 I knew Popchips would defeat Pringles! Love Popchips!! Reply carissa April 7th, 2011 popchips. Reply Sydney April 7th, 2011 Popchips are the most awesome thing in the history of snacking! Reply Tim April 8th, 2011 Popchips takes crunch to a new level.
