Update: Voting is now closed. Oreo (77%) defeats popchips (23%) to take the Snack Madness crown and title of greatest snack in existence.
A little under a month ago we created Snack Madness – a 64 snack tournament with Cookie, Cracker, Potato Chip and Misc. Snack brackets. This tournament is a follow-up to our popular Meat Madness and Fast Food Bracket tournaments in ’09 and ’10. We just wrapped a very interesting Final Four vote. Today, we begin our final vote to crown the greatest snack in existence. #1 seed Oreo takes on surprising finalist #12 popchips. Voting will conclude at 12 pm Saturday.
Click the bracket below to see all the match-ups and results thus far.
Oreo has cruised through the tournament with not even a scare from other contenders. After dispensing with some easy first round competition, they handily defeated Milanos to win the Cookie bracket, and easily beat Cheez-Its in the Final Four to advance to the final. (63% – 37%)
popchips has been the surprise of the tournament, crushing its early competition and besting such giants as Lay’s, Pringles and Doritos. popchips has incredibly loyal and passionate fans, and have been getting out the vote through social media. But they weren’t the only ones. When Kettle urged its Facebook fans to help them defeat popchips, it wasn’t enough. When Pringles asked their 11 million Facebook fans to vote for them over popchips I thought its cinderella run would be crushed to a bloody pulp – but popchips still eeked out a victory. Facing off in the Final Four against Doritos and its 1.4 million Facebook fans, popchips once again managed to prevail (57% – 43%). Amazing. Now they take on the grand daddy titan of the snack world: Oreo and its 17 million (yes, you read that right) Facebook fans. Can popchips dethrone the giant? Or will Oreo’s 17 million fans rise up and crush the popchips uprising? In 3 days time we will know, and a Snack Madness champion will be crowned.
Remember, you are voting for the snack you think deserves to be crowned the greatest snack in existence. You can base your vote on taste, cost, availability, variety of flavors, childhood memories, nutrition – whatever you deem “most important” in choosing a snack you like.
Which snack deserves the Snack Madness Title?
- Oreo (77%, 3,369 Votes)

There’s no competition! PopChips may be snack food, but they are much tastier & healthier than any Oreo.
15 Youppi // Apr 13, 2011 at 11:00 pm

18 James // Apr 15, 2011 at 1:10 am
Holy crap, what the heck is oreo doing. how can some one with 17 million face book fans, the manning brothers, apolo ono, and donald trump be losing to this little know chip. this just blows my mind. last year resturant editions all the final four teams got really good responses from their social networks and fans, so it was a good end. This is just outrageous. I say kick oreo out and do this again with someone else who could possibly give pop chip a challenge. oh ya and pop chip you need to try and start selling in the gulf coast area. I have no idea what your chip brand is like so right now im ashamed to say it but going for oreo. also im a manning fan.

45 Courtney // Apr 15, 2011 at 3:47 pm
Okay, can any of you honestly say you prefer popchips over oreos without thinking about calories? Oreos are so delicious, chips of any kind are in a completely different league. Cookies in general are better
46 James Houck // Apr 15, 2011 at 3:51 pm
Holy crap how did oreo go and get 1000 votes in less then 12 hours
47 James Houck // Apr 15, 2011 at 3:52 pm

53 Richard Colson // Apr 15, 2011 at 4:05 pm
What are Pop chips? Why are people mad that they can’t eat a bunch or Oreos in one sitting? Isn’t that good? It will save you money, and all the fat people eat pop chips.

I have never even heard of Popchip!
I love my Oreo’s
58 Owen // Apr 15, 2011 at 4:21 pm
Well, I have lived in Florida all my life any have never once heard of popchips, so I’m like, “WTF is that?” I think it’s kind of cool that a small company can stand up against Oreo.
59 Tracy // Apr 15, 2011 at 4:21 pm
OREOS RULE! Popchips are way too salty and really, no substitute for a good old potato chip.
60 Gibby // Apr 15, 2011 at 4:24 pm
popchips don’t exist in west Michigan, nor have I even heard of them before now. OREOS OWN!
61 Jacqui // Apr 15, 2011 at 4:41 pm
SO WE ARE THE #1 CHIP. I love Oreo’s but Popchips are poptastic and healthier. I get the best of both worlds with popchips
62 WillRun4Oreo's // Apr 15, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Oreo’s all the way. The reason O’s are ahead is history – nobody remembers twirling open a popchip & dunking it in a big, ol’ cold glass of milk. And who has ever heard of popchip ice cream? Oreo’s, how do I love you? Let me count the ways….. fudge covered, regular, double stuff, chocolate mint…. think of your own – I’m going to get some Oreo cookies!!!!!
63 tiff // Apr 15, 2011 at 4:57 pm
I don’t even know what popchips are!
64 ally martin // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:01 pm
oreos are crazy great!!!!
65 Deegees // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:05 pm
OK, I had to Goggle ‘popchips’ because I have never heard of them.
You all tout that Popchips are better for you than Oreo’s. Lets look at the nutritional value of a ‘serving’:
Calories:
popchip bbq flavor : 120
oreo 160
And for those of you that say you can eat the whole bag? A bag is THREE servings = 360 calories.
fat:
popchip 4 grams
oreo 7 grams
sodium:
popchip 250 grams
oreo 160 grams
carbs:
popchip 20 grams
oreo 25 grams
protein:
popchip 1 gram
oreo 1 gram
Honestly? I know that Oreo’s aren’t the best thing going, but Popchips don’t look that much better.
66 S // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:15 pm
@James… check Target or Safeway. Or visit popchips.com and do a search for retailers. It’s easy. Try ‘em, and you’ll know why popchips is winning.
67 Fuck Popchips, Go Ores!!! // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Popchips are CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE to eat Oreos!!!!!!!!!!!! Oreos are definitely going to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
68 cameron // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:30 pm
I am sorry to popchips. But I am the one who tipped off oreo and they finally posted it on facebook. I just couldn’t have us lose and this whole time not a single oreo fan noticed the contest. lol…
69 Sue Crafty // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:34 pm
I never tried a popchip, but oreos? Nothing beats them!
70 wad11656 // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:45 pm
The heck is a popchip? All these comments are just too similar…This is allsome kind ofscam in order to increase the brand’s popularity!
Heh heh…I guess I just need to try the stuff (no pun intended [doubled stuffed]) now, either way…ha ha
71 wad11656 // Apr 15, 2011 at 5:47 pm
And I was kidding about my theory of some conspiracy where hundreds of workers were voting for popchips 24/7—I’m sure they’re good, but REALLY. This IS ridiculous. I don’t mean to be insulting, but who’s even HEARD of popchips??? Hmm…
72 Desire // Apr 15, 2011 at 6:14 pm
Aww all these comments and popchip is still losing. 2,000+ votes. I guess people do love oreos. #teamoreo lmao

OREOS RULE! THEY HAVE OTHER FLAVORS TOO. Even CHUCK NORRIS VOTED FOR OREO. Oreo for the win!
75 Boat // Apr 15, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Oreo is crushing popchips and isnt even scratching the surface of its nearly 18million strong facebook fan base! Oreo all the way!
76 Bret // Apr 15, 2011 at 8:16 pm
I have never heard of pop chip, but I imagine it is “a foul, disease-ridden thing, that wears too much makeup to cover up the fact that it’s a 47 year-old fish-dog”.
If you got the reference good for you!
77 thewaffles // Apr 15, 2011 at 8:28 pm
Tried popchips once, they were meh. Oreos for the win! >:D

[...] the Popchip’s office – which by the way, if you are a fan of Popchips vote for them here to become the best snack in existence. They are currently up against Oreos. We also went to Crissy [...]
80 Christa // Apr 15, 2011 at 10:52 pm
I never tried pop chips but, oreos are good.
81 Lindsey // Apr 16, 2011 at 2:51 am
I feel sorry for those of you who have not yet discovered popchips. They are scrumdelyicious! And unbelievably, they are also a healthy snack. Impossible but true.
82 Wine Traveler // Apr 16, 2011 at 4:42 am
Can you say ballot stuffing? Popchips are so awesome this should be a no brainer Oreo should be a close 2nd
83 Wine Traveler // Apr 16, 2011 at 5:02 am
Obvious cheating here as Oreos didn’t pull this many votes in weeks. We know popchips is better and Oreos suck since they took out the lard.
84 Jodeen // Apr 16, 2011 at 8:59 am
Yummy Popchips!!
85 Jerry // Apr 16, 2011 at 9:48 am

86 andrea // Apr 16, 2011 at 10:00 am
what the F is popchips anyways? i love my oreos, they they r just like me black N white!!!!
87 anon // Apr 16, 2011 at 2:53 pm
I’ve never heard of popchips before, but I’ve been eating oreos my whole life. I can eat two boxes, no problem.
Also; cookies and cream icecream and chocolate bars. Made with oreo. Oreo cake. Giant oreos. Peanutbutter, inside out, mint, holiday, and they’re all good. No one in my house ever says “man, I could really go for some popchips” but I hear that about oreos all the time.
I’m a snack food junkie and oreos have always been my favorite, and I’ve tried mainstream, store brand, my mom’s healthfood snacks. I would even eat oreos before most home made cookies. Sandwich cookies are delicious, and oreo makes the best ones…
I wish they made lemon ones though….
88 Jessica // Apr 16, 2011 at 6:06 pm
I LOVE Oreos! Oreos kick butt.
89 Scott // Apr 16, 2011 at 7:41 pm
Fun idea! This reminds me of what one grocery store chain– local to Northern California– is doing, expect they’re taking the Easter candy angel: http://www.savemart.com/candybowl
They’re taking votes on Facebook and updating the bracket on their website. It’s fun to see aggregated opinions on these things.
90 SUDSGUY // Apr 17, 2011 at 1:38 am
All the Oreo “fans” are just Nabisco employee ballot stuffing douches.
91 Leslie // Apr 18, 2011 at 4:04 am
Double stuffed Oreos are the best!
92 geneva // Apr 19, 2011 at 3:26 am
oreos are the best
93 Owen // Apr 20, 2011 at 3:06 am
Yeah!!! get the hell out popchips and bring in the OREOS!!!! NOTHING can beat an oreo!
94 Nick // Apr 21, 2011 at 12:59 am
*sigh* oreos? really!? just another sign that america is obese. popchips all the way!!!
95 Leslie // Apr 21, 2011 at 9:47 am
What are these popchips you speak of? I have to find some of these, pronto. I loved the blog. As a new blogger and someone who just wrote about condiments as her latest post – I stumbled across this website. Very entertaining and an easy, fun read. I’ll be back!
96 Rogan // Jun 4, 2012 at 5:59 pm
I know I’m late but here’s what I think. Even though popchips seem good, they are overrated and should NOT have made it this far. I mean, it beat America’s most famous and best-selling chip Lay’s, it beat the soft, variety-packed, salty Pringles, and it even beat the triangular, sturdy, and spice-packed Doritos. That sucks. Weep for the children! Also, I think Fig Newtons should’ve beat Tollhouse to get in the Sweet 16, and I even think that they should’ve beat MILANO. That’s how much I like them. I mean, if you’re asked to name a fruity cookie, you’ll instantly think Fig Newtons. And Goldfish should’ve made it into the final four due to its fun shape, it always smiles back, and its flavors. Pretzel, ranch, cheddar, chocolate, vanilla, s’mores, Parmesan, honey, and even PIZZA.
