Sweet vs Spicy: When it comes to snacking and junk food which do you prefer?
- Thread starter Coyote Starrk

Definitely spicy.
Not overly fond of sweet stuff (even though I loved it as a child)
Edit: Both can be awesome too btw. Like spicy honey chicken wings

I dunno, either both or neither. I think if I have to choose between those two, I'd probably pick sweet over spicy, even though I'd normally take spicy over sweet things in most cases.
But, for snacking, I prefer savory flavors, salty foods like chips, pretzels, goldfish crackers, etc.

I don't really like sugary things, and not only because they make me feel like garbage. My default snack food is tortilla chips and salsa. If I must have something sweet, it'd be like ice cream or sour gummi things, but that is rare
I can do spicy for an entree, but I've never really been into spicy snacks.
I'm more of a sweet or salty/savory kinda person on the snack front.

If I have to choose I will choose spicy. I've developed a bit more of a sweet tooth lately but still will reach for some hot chips or Cheetos over a piece of candy.
Here in MĂ©xico, spicy candies are the norm. Take this for example:
I purchased this mangonada two days ago. It has ice, mango slices, mango juice, chamoy, and tamarindo candies.

Those aren't even complementary things, sweet vs savoury is a thing, sweet and spicy is like asking DO YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE OR MINT?
livid mate, erasing my culture like that

I have a major sweet tooth. It's bad.
I do like some spicy stuff sometimes (New Orleans cuisine is SO GOOD) but I legit have a tongue condition that's essentially overdeveloped taste buds and I taste flavors and such way more strongly than the average person so spicy stuff usually kills me. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard "that's not spicy at all" as I'm like dying and I'm just like "I'm broken, I know. Leave me alone."

Spicy, no doubt.
I like to keep some Mrs. Renfro's ghost pepper cheese on hand. Just a little dab on a few (as in 5 or less) pretzels, and you're good to go. It's been extraordinarily helpful in cutting back on night time snacking.

I can only eat a couple of sweet things at most before my mouth gets all icky, but spicy snacks I can keep eating until I'm full, so spicy wins.
Give me Spicy every time. Glad to see that Era has good taste. It's one thing that sucks about living in Netherlands, hardly any spicy snacks at all here. :(

Spicy over everything but if it has to be sweet, at least give me the decency to choose to disintegrate my tastebuds for a while with nuclear grade sour stuff.
I'm a notorious spice lover but I generally hate sweets. When people leave ice cream in my freezer it just goes bad, which people tell me is crazy.
I dare very much. I tend to actually like how food really taste. So i don't bury it under spices who mask everything else. :p

I guess I'm sweet. 90% of my snacks are cereal or some form of cracker type thing with peanut butter, which doesn't seem like either sweet or spicy, but then I remember that the cereal and peanut butter I buy both have a ton of sugar.
I'm guessing it taste better than it looks 🤢Here in México, spicy candies are the norm. Take this for example:
I purchased this mangonada two days ago. It has ice, mango slices, mango juice, chamoy, and tamarindo candies.
Everything in Mexico has chili. Those candy apples that are very popular in the USA? We make them with chili instead:
How about fruit from a street vendor? You guessed right, chili:
How about a corn on the cob? Yep. Chili.
I love both... Well, I can't tolerate sweet food as much as I could when I was a teenager. I'll enjoy a fruit or a snack bar, but I can't stand Haribo candy anymore.
But at the same time, spicy food gives me the hiccups, which is very uncomfortable, and spicy snacks are very hard to find anyway.
I guess that I prefer spicy snacks over sweet snacks, but because spicy snacks give me the hiccups, I'd rather eat something sweet sometimes.
I ate these by the handful when I was in America, but I can't find anything like it in France:
