Chris Evans Ranks His Favorite Potato Chips

The MCU might be (literally) cut in half at the moment, but Chris Evans is dividing social media right now in an even more dramatic way. The Captain America actor recently weighed into a Twitter thread after comedian Kevin Fredericks asked his followers to rank all of the chips in a Lays variety pack-and his response caused quite a stir.

The correct answer is: 1. Cool ranch 2. Cheetos 3. Nacho cheese Doritos 4. Fritos 5. BBQ lays 6. Original lays I will not be taking questions. https://t.co/keSJ23IhRN - Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) March 11, 2019

Evans, for his part, ranked Cool Ranch as his favorite, followed by Cheetos, Nacho Cheese Doritos, Fritos, BBQ Lays, and ending with Original Lays at the bottom. I will not be taking questions, he tweeted.

Some fans were disgusted by his first choice:

Fritos? Ewwww boy NO. pic.twitter.com/twECCFQeh7 - Romi Moondi (@romimoondi) March 12, 2019

Others, however, were firmly on his side:

I could argue so hard that cool ranch Doritos are better than Fritos pic.twitter.com/bdYklEspVe - Marc Santos (@Marc_Sandtoast) March 12, 2019

Monica Lewinsky, who knows a thing or two about controversy, responded to Evans ranking with her own:

As did Roots drummer and Tonight Show band leader Questlove:

Even "Boy Meets World" star Danielle Fishel got in on the action:

And, because this is Twitter, we were also shown the receipts to prove that Evans was telling the truth about his love of Cool Ranch:

Chris, we know this was just meant to be a bit of innocent fun, but think before tweeting in the future. We dont want you to start another Civil War.
