Are Cheeto's chips?
I've been debating with my friends and family over whether Cheeto's are chips or not. I think they are and even though I've looked it up on the web, I can't find anything that says if they are or not.
Answers:
I don't think so. I don't know if chip has an actual definition that excludes them, but I feel like chips should be flat. Anything else I simply label as a "snack".
According to Dictionary.com, a chip is "a very thin slice or small piece of food, candy, etc." or "a thin, usually fried slice of food, especially a potato chip."
Hope that helps your debate, even though I'm disagreeing with you!

they are puff chips
DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY ARE CHIPS!
Of course not, they're cheetos silly.
Wikipedia even calls them "Cheetos are a crunchy, cheese-flavored snack made from extruded cornmeal."
If they were chips, they'd be referred to as chips.
depends on your definition of "chips". i consider them cheese puffs.
im gonna have to say not chips. chips stem from the english for french fries. thus being a potato. cheetos are not from taters
Yeah they are chips. They are not potato or nacho cheese or whatever, but they are like puffy cheese chips.
the term chips is short fro Potato chips .
Cheetos are not made from potato. Technically it can't be a "chip"
I don't really think they are, but that is a great question!
i think they are chips they are made by chip co.
I don't think there are any guidelines for what a chip is exactly, so yes, it is, since it's a crunchy, salty snack baked (or fried, idk) that comes packaged like a chip.
Oh, and if they say they're not chips because they're not potatoes, then how about corn chips? Fritos? So, that's no way to decide.
No they are not...chips comes from patatos....as in FISH AND CHIPS.....Cheetos is a puff and does not contain potatos
no they are baked cheese puffs (flour and cheese powder)
Chips are slices of potato deep fryed. thats why they are called chips, they are a chip of the potato
well, of course.
Cheetos are NOT 'chips' but they are a 'similar snack food' ... but I dn't eat them as 'snacks' ... I get them when I have a really sore throat, because there's something in the 'cheese and salt' that 'coats my throat' and eases my pain.
As Cartman on SouthPark would say....
"Cheesy Poofs" ....
well, what'd you expect? they DO LOOK like cheesy poop...so yes, they are puffs, both light and heavy crunchers...
I don't know if they are chips or not but I do know they are GOOOODDDDDD!!!!!!
yes they are.
Cheetos are not a chip, but a salty snack food. Cheetos very in size and shape, (puff,Twist, and Xand O)
Yes
Does anyone really know what Cheetos are? They seem to be a puff of something, that has some cheesy flavored orange stuff on it....just to dye your fingers.
Cheetos are cheese puffs, not chips. Chips are made from potatoes and Cheetos are not made from potatoes.
