Today is National Chili Day AND National Tortilla Chip Day. So this is fitting: Someone asked people to rank the best topping to put on chili, and tortilla chips ranked high on the list:

The top five are cheese, crackers, cornbread, sour cream, and tortilla chips. Onions, hot sauce, and avocado also made the top ten.

95% of people say they like or love chili, 4% don't like it, and 1% dislike it enough to use the word "hate."

The poll also looked at the most popular ways to eat chili, and "in a bowl" got the most votes, obviously. But it's not the only way we eat it.

12% prefer it "on a hot dog", 9% said "in a bag of Fritos," also called a "Frito pie", and 8% said chili fries is their favorite way to eat it.

There might be a few in the top ten you've never tried though: "On rice" ranked sixth, followed by on a baked potato, on garlic bread, on spaghetti, mixed together with mac-and-cheese, and 2% say the best way to eat chili is on a sloppy joe.
