HERE'S WHAT I THINK ...
SALTY or SWEET? Which type of snack do you prefer? Actually, I prefer salty snacks ... I really do not have a sweeth tooth! I personally think it tells a lot about the person as to which they prefer. Is it something that's in the genes? Is it a male / female or Mars / Venus thingy? Is it geographical, ethnic, or age related?
Is it possibly astrologically-oriented? For example, I am a Cancer -- that's a water sign -- so does that explain WHY I prefer salty snacks? Can we say that a majority of Cancers and water signs will opt for salty over sweet snacks? Or is it something more profound ... like that time of the month vs. a football game and beer? Hmmmm...
P.S. Thanks to all of you wonderful friends and visitors who took time to participate in this debate and xoxoxo to those who left 5 stars.

Salty snacks research -- U.S. research study
Wow ... look at Lay's kettle chips ...
Salty snack sales have been supported greatly by the launch of better-for-you offerings. Some of the most successful brands over the 2004-06 period are lighter and/or wholegrain options including SunChips (50.3% in FDM channels, excluding Wal-Mart, between 2004 and 2006), Smart Pop (up 23.4%), and Baked Lay's (up 31.5%). Some natural versions of salty snacks have done well, too, including Tostitos Natural (up 31.3%) and Cheetos Natural (up 80.4%).
Since not every consumer is health-conscious, it must be noted that many of the more indulgent brands on the market are also growing. For example, in FDM channels, excluding Wal-Mart, sales of Lay's Kettle Cooked chips (up 33.3% from 2004-06), Tostito's Scoops (up 46.7%) and Fritos Flavor Twists (up 16.9%) have shown gains. --www.the-infoshop.com.
A little SALTY enticement ...
Yes, it's actually SALT swimwear !
YES, would you believe that there is actually a Salt Swimwear? You've heard of salty dogs, but no dogs here ... Salt Swimwear at Couture Candy!!! This is the Giselle Bikini in Light Gold. The Giselle Bikini is an adorable suit that is very flattering. The top is a bandeau top with keyhole. The top can be worn in many ways to create a new look each time you wear it. The bottoms are very basic with one bottom added to give the finishing touch.More about Salt Swimwear: Layla Pakzad has lived by the beach for as long as she can remember. Her designs are always very modern and unique which is why she continues to grow in popularity.
YOUR TURN!
Hey ... let's get it started in here ...

After seeing the salty enticement swimwear model, I forgot what this lens was about and had to re-read it. Okay, yeah, salty for me as well! Though I love chewing bubble gum. Like whole bags of bubble gum.

This is amazing -- all the great and interesting remarks on both sides of the HMB debate! Yes, I've heard of salty and sweet snacks, but tend to stay away from those myself. I still feel it's salty, but perhaps light salt as I'm one of those who tend to 'hold water' with too much sodium in my diet. What's that they say about craving something that's not always good for you?

Salty beats sweet in a footrace, but the best is when they work together, as a snack time team! Mmm....

As a general rule I would prefer salty, but once I eat something salty I want something sweet so a mix of the two is best!

Ener-G says:
Normally, I'd say sweet BUT thanks to this *#@%& debate I bought a box of granola bars at Costco that said "Salty and Sweet!" And proceeded to eat a bunch of them, for which I point fingers of blame at you, Julie, :-) So I"m starting the third option: Salty AND Sweet.
