One of the funniest things about the lists is that Frito-Lay Flat Earth Fruit and Veggie Crisps was the 1st item on the best of the best list at FoodProcessing.com and the 2nd one of the worst of the worst list on Supermarket Sampler. Shows just how subjective taste can be (and since I haven't reviewed it, I can't comment on that, but it turns out the crisps are mostly rice flour and potato flakes).

Our previous lists: We did it in 2006 (Beverages and Foods), and we did it before in 2005 (again beverages, Sweet Treats and Snacks).
