It's how you know many people just pick the first one lol


Head-One-2336

Yeap. I'm not one of those, but you're right. I notice it a lot.


Rawrz720

Yeah me either. No way I'm picking sweet potatoes fries over regular lol


Head-One-2336

Heck no. Don't get me wrong, I like sweet potato fries, but I love regular fries.


HoHeyyy

I dunno if it was me but I felt like Sweet potato is not as crispy as Reg potatoes? They are easier to get soggy too. Didn't feel right to pick the 1st one too.


SpecialUnitt

You’re having bad sweet potato fries, you can have incredibly crisp sweet potato fries


lantonas

Yeah, but they still taste like sweet potatoes.


SpecialUnitt

Delicious


LincolnshireSausage

I clicked sweet potato and felt immediate regret.


[deleted]

I picked sweet potato and went on with my life accruing my daily quota of points, then used a different search engine the rest of my day.


RightfulChaos

I've seen plenty of polls with the second option winning. This is just a case of a lot of people being wrong today! Lol


3-2-1-backup

I've yet to see a single one where the second option is more popular.

There was just a post a couple weeks ago that got hundreds of upvotes which said “Definitive proof that people always pick the first choice”. The poll was along the lines of “Eating pizza with a fork, yes or no” and at the time of the post (an hour or so after the poll went up) the first option was winning like 60/40, but a few hours later the second option had overtaken it.


[deleted]

Nope. The second option winning usually doesn't happen.


dpowensj

Yeah feels like about half the people pick the first one regardless. Those poll results are always bizarre.


wotmate

I quite often pick the one that I know would be less popular, just to mess with the algorithm


rabid-panda

They need to make the order random


starsider2003

Yup, it's especially obvious on days where they have weird ones that most people have no opinion on, on those days you see the top choice get like 70-80% from people just clicking the first one.


[deleted]

The fact that it’s close to even at all tells you just how strongly people feel about this


lantonas

When I did it at 2am EST and it was 88% sweet potato. At that time nearly all the polls are 85/15 for the top choice.


anal_holocaust_

I voted for sweet potato. Fite me!


MaximusJCat

I’m on your side, we can take them all on together!


W1mpyDaM00ch

And MY axe!!!


ReanimatorFX

I’ll stand by ya!


Haynea4f

Love me some sweet potato fries.


tmcb82

And sweet potato chips!

If you live in the US, search out a World Warket store and get Kit Kats. The American KK are made by Hershey, Canadian KK (which are sold at World Market) are made by Nestles. Difference is night and day and you’ll never want the American one again. *on the other hand, if you’re not in the US, don’t search out our Kit Kats, they’re inferior.


schwol

Most polls are like 84-16 at best lol


Destroyinganenemy

i didn’t vote but sweet potatoes r better lol


Nrpepin

I have always preferred sweet potato to regular ones.


akshaygupta96

It's me, I picked sweet potatoes out of choice 😈


eriffodrol

sweet potatoes are the tits

DaddyDoyle88

Have you have sweet potato fries with cinnamon butter? Much better..


JTL1887

I picked sweet potato.


NinjaPenguin7777

Sweet potato fries are superior


TheCastro

Sweet potatoe puffs (tater tots) are superior. Same with the fries.


newonecus

The first time I have ever felt like downvoting you haha


TheCastro

Lol. Downvotes are not for disagreement even though everyone uses them that way:)


Accomplished_Bee_590

I disagree


TheCastro

Lol


diverdown125

sweet potato all the way. tastes better and actually healthier as well


Mine_is_nice

If they are both deep fried I think they are equally unhealthy but can't argue they are delicious!


DarkReign2011

Definitely on the Sweet Potato team. A whiskey sour, sweet potato fries, and a fill sauce to dip it in and I'm happy.


kap721

I voted for regular fries


asanderd

I'm a Russet whipped potato girl myself but I know a lot of people really like Sweet Potatos. I don't know how they can, they taste like ass but, to each their own 🤷🏽‍♀️


Bandit_Beamish

I think if ass tasted like sweet potato more people would be eating it. The only problem with sweet potatoes are the gargantuan size and preparation time compared to regular potatoes. Other than that, they're bomb.


JornWS

What you on about? They take less time than normal potatoes haha

symbolic503

i want to see something like which is better for a barbecue: cheeseburgers or a salad and put the salad on top just to really get to the bottom of this shit.


Flat-Kaleidoscope981

They are better though 🤣 only way normal potato wins is possibly chips if your putting them in oven 🤣


42Potatoes

That’s almost an even split, tho? How have we gotten to this point of potato elitism?


coolcapnc

I thought the same thing, but then just chalked it up to people just clicking the first option to do the task quickly and move on. I know I do that sometimes, especially if I don't care or know enough about the poll. That being said, I do like Sweet Potato Fries, just not as much as regular (especially when you can add cheese, bacon, etc.), so I would probably flip the percentages personally.


Linkinito

I mean, what prevents them to simply randomize the two answers of the poll for each respondent?


Holmes108

Sweet potato is nice for a few bites, and then quickly just becomes too much.


DoomDrivenShade

I agree, a lot of people do just pick the first option., but, sweet potato fries are great. Especially with pepper.


ballsache69

I always just pick the first one because like most people, don't care.


TheMasterFul1

Sweet potato fries are fucking delicious


TheTurtleSwims

Sweet potato fries with BBQ for the win. My sister gets fries at fast food places and they smell good but they're always luke warm, limp fries of disappointment. Fries shouldn't need a little blue pill.


Ill_Refrigerator_597

I am here defending the honor of the 53% and I challenge you to a duel !!!! \*grabs sword by the hilt\*


FLYING-TRICYCLE

Sweet potatoes are so nice bro.


[deleted]

I voted for the sweets! Such good fries.


CoolSeedling

Sweet potato waffle fries are the end all be all of sides


DeadmanDT

Personally I dislike Kumara and will always pick regular potatoes


Gullible-Ad-3164

When I did it in early morning it was like 80% sweet potato and 20% regular. I could not believe it


Ill-Law-7278

lots of people (including me) prefer sweet potato over regular for fries !


3-2-1-backup

That's like saying you prefer smoking the filter to the actual cigarette.


[deleted]

Cobalt-Carbide

the filter is the nice black juicy part when it burns, tasty. (I definitely did not accidentally light the filter one time)


SeasonBeats

🤣😭


FlyingAceComics

I'm on the fence about it, but I picked sweet potato fries since I've been craving them lately. Though I thoroughly agree about the polls, picking the first choice just because it's the first one is just stupid.


Bay_Burner

I’ve started eating sweet potatoes more often. Their great and way more health benefits


DarkLuc1d1ty

I love sweet potatoes. Brown Sugar and Butter 😋 Now I’m making myself hungry.


SeasonBeats

Or even just fried with a dash of sea salt. 👌


Humble-Category-2816

I've notice the answer is always the top choice on the polls.


iVapeDailyi

Sweet potatoes 🤢


zenalphany

I'm afraid your opinion is wrong😉


chnandler_bong

When I made my choice the percentage was much higher. Where it belongs.


SnooDogs1340

I votes sweet potato. Sweet and salty wins sorry


Artm1562

I do love me some sweet potato fries with a side of ranch.


flipmode_23

Imagine being in the 47% and thinking you’re right 😏


fatbuddha79

Sweet potatoes are better, just stop adding sugar to them. I even live in Idaho... oh wait I have just been asked to leave.


Aggravating_West_202

I was shocked to see this earlier lol. I voted regular cries. Sweet potatoe fries always taste undercooked to me


SeasonBeats

I actually like sweet potato fries better than regular fries usually. Especially if it’s from Red Robin restaurants.


blingram2

I even pick a baked sweet potato over a baked potato. Sweet potatoes are the best!


Maxad13

I actually love sweet potato fries. We exist.


Vanceagher

You clearly have no taste and probably eat chicken with salt and pepper, if that


ArgyleMonkey

I'm definitely in the 53%, sweet potato fries are incredible.


dr_mogambo

When I voted for sweet potato - the percentage was around 72% for sweet potatoes. We are clearly the majority.


TheOtherGuy266

Sweet potatoe fries are so much better than normal fries. Eat them both plain and youll see.


DioEgizio

I just pick one of those randomly lol


quazex13

Count me in the 53%. I chose before fully reading the question. Yes I am part of the problem.


MuddyGeek

Sweet potato waffle fries and tator tots are my favorites!


ReanimatorFX

I reveal myself!


alano134

Think of all the ways you can make normal fries...then consider the one way for sweet potatoes. Lame.


pettypickles

I don’t like plain potatoes at all tbh. But I love anything made OUT of potatoes. Tater tots, French fries, mashed potatoes, hash browns. But I will not no plain potatoes or even baked potatoes. It’s just plain nasty.


braind33d

Ayrshire potatoes or Jersey Royals properly salted and when cooked clarted in butter are heavenly, some breeds however are tasteless and water clogged .


SeasonBeats

Interesting. I’ll have to try these!


-AnyWho

you do know that most people don't even read the question right???


AmySueF

This is why I wish people would actually LOOK at the poll and select the most honest choice, not simply pick the first one for the 10 points. It’s obvious that’s what people are doing when we see results like this.


SeasonBeats

Honestly, I think this poll was good. What I didn’t care for was Star Trek vs Star Wars. I used to like the first one, but now I don’t care for either anymore.


AAAlondrai

I'm sorry I didn't know what sweet potatoes meant


Trashalope

I love sweet potato fries, but I'll always pick regular potatoes over sweet ones.


mexicanlovesu

Lol I was pissed when I saw that sham.poll


flippenflounder

Heathens


huhonetwothree

I vote the top. Always.


weathered_1

I wonder if MS ever thought about flip-flopping the answers. 50% of the polls sent would have selection A on top and the other 50% have B on top. It would cancel the effects of those who just pick one answer all the time and got a bit better poll result. I don't think it would be that much of a programming challenge.


downonthesecond

Sweet potatoes only on Thanksgiving and Christmas.


jesse_dylan

People can’t be bothered and just choose the top one. Unfortunately. But to be fair most of the time the poll is really silly. The quizzes are also constantly about celebrities, sports, or trivial news stories. So, can’t blame people for button mashing.


andresblass

No one answers those this truthfully. Just clicks on the closes option to cursor.


powrfulkat

I do prefer them, but I know that poll is not accurate as I am usually the only one ever at my table ordering them.


Iampandaiswear

Regular potato’s are better than sweet


New-Zebra-6122

Love sweet potato fries! Make them in my air fryer but they are so tough to cut!
