Sporked’s Regional Snack-It Bracket: Round 1

What’s the best regional snack in America? Over the next four weeks, we’re going to find out. We asked you to nominate the best regional snacks, then we polled our audience on Twitter and Instagram to nail down one snack representative from each region. We have the finalists. Now, it’s time for you to decide which snack will triumph above them all. 

This week, it’s round one. Choose the winner of each match-up, then come back to the site next week to find out which snacks are moving on to the next round and vote again. In the end, we’ll have the winner as decided by you—and we’ll also have a winner as decided by the Sporked staff. We sourced all of these snacks and will be tasting them head-to-head. (Be sure to follow us on Instagram and TikTok to see how those competitions shake out.)

Welcome to Sporked’s Snack-It Bracket! Let the snack-off commence! Voting ends on Friday, March 17 at 5 p.m. PST. 

UPDATE: Here are the results of the first round. Vote for your pick in the Semi-Finals.

    • What are Guys? I know all kinds of Tillamook stuff, but never heard of the other one…. 😉

  • These are regional items, that said, I have not heard of nor tried many of these. I feel like there should be an option for “I have not tried these”. My questionable vote may skew the actual ratings.

    • Abstention is the proper thing to do. Surpassingly I’ve tried most of these living in Kansas City. But if you’re going to vote blind then vote Guy’s.

  • Zapps vs Boulder Canyon round 1?!?! Ooof. Malt Vinegar vs Voodoo?!?! Hearts WILL be broken.

    • The pretzels send Zapps over the top imo. Those Voodoo pretzels are a 10/10.

      • I want to try the pretzels so badly

  • Herr’s is the only logical conclusion, here.

    • I’ve never had any of the others. So that would be my vote. But I’m abstaining since without having any way to compare the others my vote would be totally invalid.
      I actually prefer Ruffles over Herrs.
      Also most of these seem to be snack company, not individual snacks. So that confuses me a bit. What exactly am I voting for?

  • I haven’t had any of these things, haven’t even heard of most, so not voting.
