I’m not exactly a huge sports gal, but I am sporty enough to know that March Madness has begun. Oh, you’re wondering what my favorite part of sports games is? Thank you so much for asking! The best part of ANY watch party is, of course, the snacks. With the tournament in full swing, if you’re super athletic like me, you’re going to be chowing down on LOTS of tasty treats. But which march madness snacks should you make? After lots of intensive field research and nail-biting match-ups (aka a survey of 50 fans), I have narrowed things down to only the greatest tailgate snacks. Here is the March Madness Snack Bracket!
Round 1: Sandwich Showdown
In this classic match-up, burgers took on hot dogs to see which sandwich would ball the hardest. Burgers won in a whopping victory, with 84.7% of fans voting them as their preference. Who let the dogs out?

Not to be cheesy, but this game was so easy. In Pizza Rolls vs. Mozzarella Sticks, Mozzarella Sticks took the dub with a popularity of 76.9%. Cue the cheese pull.
