Wavelength Round 3: Team B vs Team C

what are the top crunchies?

pork rinds?

other than that I think these super thin chips are about as crunchy as it gets. and it's not even clear that pork rinds are crunchier

I guess take a point off for BBQ? but there is 0 sauce. it's just a little powder

19?

Granola
Any nuts
Raw veggies

I think are crunchier than thin chips

I completely disagree! lol

granola and nuts are harder than the chips, but they're not crunchier. nuts especially can mush, like cashew

those chips are just straight crunch. their texture is pure crunch. nuts, granola, and especially veggies have more textures going on than just straight crunch.

There's sauce on the picture! I agree the chips themselves don't have sauce, but the picture does.

Thicker chips are crunchier.

My gut tells me this isn't a top of range clue.

They are so thin and soft. Zero effort to break them apart. Not messy either.

My son was eating rice cakes last night. Big mess. I'd put those as crunchier due to the mess, even though they aren't really as crunchy but need some differentiating factors on the scale.

I was about to give in and go with your thought, til you said you'd put rice cakes as crunchier even though they aren't as crunchy????? like bro... what?

the scale is literally crunchy. that's what matters. the more crunchy a thing is the higher on the scale

A thin chip melts in your mouth if you want it to

but ok I do get your point about the picture in the sauce. it's a little confusing though... cuz in the bag there are only chips, no sauce.

it's a picture of a bag. so it's a picture of a picture(picture on the bag)

I was assuming it's what's in the bag, which is just chips, no sauce.

if we're counting sauce as part of it... sauce is gooey AF, and takes it down 2-5 points

maybe this is stupid but I'd only take it down one point.. it's just a suggestion of sauce, not actual real sauce in your mouth. the only thing that goes in your mought is crunchy AF chips

yes if you don't chew it. so if you don't crunch it, then it doesn't crunch

but generally people chew on chips and don't just soak them in their mouth

and just to be clear my passion is good natured. very much enjoying the argument 😀

he def could have chosen plain lays... so he chose bbq for a reason... my guess it's just a minus 1

you'd be happy with 18, and i'd be happy with 19.... and we are passionately opposed. at least I am! lol

I don't think its 21. it's possible, but very unlikely.

totally could be 20 though

Would you agree that on a crunchy scale of just chips this is like a 3? There's not many less crunchy chips than this. Doritos, tortilla chips, party mix, pretzel chips, ripple chips.....all crunchier.

Then I have nuts as crunchier. Almonds, walnuts, etc. Maybe you don't.

I think with this scale the effort needed to crunch something is what makes it higher on the scale. Otherwise 12-21 seems pretty hard to clue for.

Ya not sure why bbq vs some other lays. My guess is because the image of the bag shows a sauce which is -crunchy.

hmmm... at first I disagreed with you. I considered these chips especially crunchy... but now I'm reconsidering.

like I would have said lays are crunchier than Doritos

maybe the lays are too fragile to be elitely crunchy... like you said melting in your mouth somewhat even if you dont' want them to

but generally hardness is not crunchiness. almonds are way harder than chips, but not as crunchy. walnuts are kinda chewy compared to the instant pure crunchiness of a lays potato chip

crunchy is when bite down and it kind of shatters.

but yeah maybe you're right about lays being so thin and fragile, that a Doritos chip might be more crunchy cuz there is a little more durability

I could even go as low as 17 now

you're talking me into it

18 good? Happy for 17 if you prefer it now.

18

Godspeed. Fun chat filthy

You got it. Well done.

Let's go!!! Great clue, great chat.
