Canton Library Determines Favorite Potato Chips

CANTON, CT — Like many libraries these days, the Canton Public Library has diversified its programs and experiences for those visiting.

And that was never more apparent than a library contest last week.

While librarians are usually averse to guests munching on potato chips inside the library, that was OK for at least one day as it hosted a special potato chip-tasting contest.

The goal was to determine what everyone's favorite fried spud slice was and the results were not surprising:

• The overall favorite was: Pringles Original.

• Most thumbs up: Lays Original

• The least favorite was a tie: Hot Honey and Lays Honey BBQ

• Most thumbs-down ratings were: Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese

The library's munch-fest took place Thursday, June 20, with library leaders admitting the idea for this crunchy contest came from their colleagues at the Stratford Public Library.
