These threads get tiresome and very predictable. Some brand loyal individual sees an article unfavourable to what they consider to be the enemy brand and then start a thread....and a range war.

Sides are chosen and are predictable. Brand X fans go after Brand Y fans...and then vice versa.

There is absolute no value in any of this...it is all a waste of effort on everybody's part.

There is, I will admit, perhaps some perverse entertainment.

I include myself. I have opened a bag of regular chips and also have cracked open my favourite beverage...a classic coke if you will.

The moderator has to then eventually lock the thread, as the usual no good has come of it.

Why...do we never learn ?

And yet you click on and even respond to these threads over and over. :B You just can't stay away can you? :B

You are correct...I cannot avoid these threads. I find them entertaining.

They remind me of my misspent youth. When I was a teenager in the 1960's ...my buddies and I would argue about which was the best muscle car...Chevy...vs Ford...vs Mopar.

I recall that we would pore over a copy of the drag racing magazine (can't recall the name) that would list all the NHRA class wins. We would count up the wins...determine which brand was king....then of course there would be vociferous counter arguments coming from the dyed in the wool brand loyalists....the loyalists on the loser side of our class win victory count.

We would do this on a regular basis. Now I don't participate in the car wars anymore....I'm too old and decrepit :B....but I still like being involved as part of the audience.
