Cheetos-A pressing matter

Cheetos. One of America's favorite snack. We all enjoy eating them and licking the cheese off our fingers when we're done. We all love to sit and look at Chester Cheetah while we munch on these tasty snacks. But what are these things we call CHEETOS? *holds up bag dramatically*
There's a debate over  cheetos that started with my friends and I a couple of years ago, end of 6th grade. And has just recently been revisited. (One of my friends has extremely good memory and thinks of the randomness things that none of us even remember---yet she'll forgot simple stuff. Psh.) 
So, what is this pressing matter you may ask?
CHEETOS-
Chips or puffs?
Yes, I can practically hear you laughing at the moment.  A lot of you are thinking puffs I bet. Because, frankly they are.
The regular ones.




(This is off topic, but one picture was a girl in a bathtub of cheetos. DUDE I WANNA DO THAT! :D)
But, what would you call these puppies?
 Are they...
a) puffs
b) chips
c) unidentified snack object
d) I honestly don't give a crap.
If you picked d, or e (which in your mind is probably "Is this person okay??") it does matter!

Okay?
They're foudn by chips, but ARE they chips? Or shoudl the governemtn make a whole new catergory for them...
Crunches.
Yep.
*sigh*
I am NOT going to do this for a persuasive speech. No way. People'll think I'm crazy.
If you want another opinion...here's my friends. We were the ones debating. I thought they were chips, she thought they were puffs. Now I agree regular ones are puffs, but what about the crunchy ones?
We actually gave our 6th grade science teacher a list of reasons supporting both sides. Ah, I wonder if she still has it.
Oh goodness. /)_-
