    Absolutely!

    Whoever created this poll certainly wasn't from Canada.

      Here here!!!!! Chips positively beg to be doused in vinegar (I prefer white vineger over malt) and lots of salt. Pepper too if you like. Your doctor may not agree of course ;-)

      Nor from the right side of the Mississippi.

      It's called Helman's over there, not Miracle Whip.

      Of course, *you* know that.

        Actually having lived on both sides of the ol' Miss I can tell you that Miracle Whip and Hellman's are not the same thing. You are thinking of Best Food's and Hellman's. Miracle Whip is not even mayonaise, it is some other kind of spread.

        Just for the trivia of it.

    I too noticed the lack of the "vinegar" option. Not that I would have selected it - even the barest sniff of that sour brew makes my face wrinkle in disgust.

    I did see one person once pour ORANGE JUICE into a cardboard bucket of chips (fries), after they had added salt, vinegar and tomato sauce (not ketchup- it wasn't in the US).
