Admit it: We all want to believe that the perfect dip to our inner chip is out there waiting for us. That the universe will take a look at one kind of chunky guacamole and manifest a tortilla chip with just the right amount of scoop. But you know what? Screw perfection. In friendship and love, it’s all about how your quirks are compatible with someone else’s. And when it comes to star-crossed snack combos, it’s not about finding the perfect match—it’s about finding a match that’s perfectly delicious, quirks and all. Here are the zodiac signs and chip and dip combos.
Leo & Gemini: Mateo’s Hot Gourmet Salsa + Chicas Lime
You won’t find a hotter duo than Leo and Gemini. When they walk into a room, all eyes go to them. Yes, they are stunning (like, physically, this couple is ridiculously hot), but it’s more than that. Leo’s magnetic extroversion and Gemini’s enviable wit makes them seem larger than life. Which is fair, because hey, it’s not like we’re dealing with the two most down-to-earth signs here. (Sorry, but you know it’s true!)
Like Chicas Lime and Mateo’s Hot Gourmet Salsa, Leo and Gemini are the untouchable power couple that’s almost too hot to handle. The extra salty, lime-infused chips (that’s you, Gemini) only enhance the fiery spiciness of Mateo’s red salsa (Leo, obvi). Together, you both turn up the heat and leave everyone wanting more, even when it burns.

Pisces & Aries: Takis Kettlez Jalapeño Typhoon + On the Border Salsa Con Queso
When the Sporked team first tried Takis Kettlez Jalapeño Typhoon, we judged them a little too harshly. They tasted bland compared to the other Takis kettle chips. It really took us a minute to appreciate them—and when we tried them with On the Border Salsa Con Queso, we actually felt a little silly for thinking they were ever boring in the first place. The mild jalapeño flavor of the chips paired beautifully with this creamy, boldly cheesy queso—our #1 queso overall for a reason.
Pisces, the gentle artists of the zodiac, rarely make a fuss—and they are so unbothered by the judgment of others, they don’t always realize when people are being disrespectful to them. In this case, Takis kettle chips were the unique, offbeat Pisces. And On the Border Salsa Con Queso was their stubborn, fierce, slightly self-righteous Aries BFF who stepped in at just the right moment to defend them. When Pisces gets overlooked, Aries will always show up for them! And when Aries starts to see invisible threats, Pisces will calm them down with their unending kindness. If that’s not love, I really don’t know what is!

Sagittarius & Taurus: Sprouts Chipotle Pineapple Green Chile Salsa + Maiz Blue Corn Totopos Chips
Taurus, for someone who is so easily exhausted by work, you are the bougiest sign. And you know what? You get away with it. At the end of the day, your natural talent and easy charm turns your 50% into someone else’s 100%. Like Maiz Blue Corn Tortilla Chips—which derives their amazing flavor from organic blue corn—your elegance and intelligence are innate, Taurus. You don’t have to try. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t!
That’s why you have Sagittarius calling you 12 times a day, always ready to kick you into high gear. Sagittarius, you struggle to give anything less than 110%. You’re best embodied by a Sprouts salsa that has everything going for it, like you: bright fruitiness, smoky heat, zesty chile. When Taurus is feeling lazy, it finds inspiration in the worldly Sagittarius. When Sagittarius is going, going, going, Taurus will pull them onto a couch, cover them in a blanket, and tell them to chill out. Talk about relationship goals.

Libra & Virgo: Casa Sanchez Medium Roasted Salsa Verde + On the Border Café Style Tortilla Chips
This is not the typical BFF pairing that people think of when it comes to the zodiac, but when Libras and Virgos become friends, they’re friends for life. Since Virgos aspire to perfection—and you don’t get much more perfect than On the Border Café Style Tortilla Chips (our #1 tortilla chip to date)—they can often be too self-critical. That’s when Libra swoops in to remind them that perfection is boring. One dimensional. Understandably, it’s hard for one of the most competent, competitive, and hardworking signs to feel okay messing up, but our screw-ups keep us interesting, Virgo! Embrace them.
Libra, some say you get along with everyone a little too well. Like our #1 salsa verde, Casa Sanchez Medium Roasted Salsa Verde, it’s hard for you not to be a people pleaser. You’re bright, fresh, and not too spicy. When you start to feel the pressure of bringing people together, Virgo reminds you that you can’t (and shouldn’t) manage everyone’s emotions. Focus on yourself for once! Park yourself in front of the snack table and let other people do the talking.

Scorpio & Aquarius: Albertson’s 7 Layer Bean Dip + Clancy’s Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips
Meet one of the wackier duos of the zodiac: Aquarius and Scorpio. Aquarius, you wear your weird on the outside (not by choice, you just can’t help it), and Scorpio, you bury your quirks pretty deep (because hey, not everyone is obligated to know everything about you). Yes, Scorpio, that means you’re the seven layer dip from Albertsons. I know you’re sick of being called mysterious, but it’s not our fault you keep so many secrets!
Aquarius, as the sign most likely to shop at Aldi (that’s a read, I won’t be explaining myself), you’re the best-tasting Aldi chip of the bunch: Clancy’s Sour Cream & Onion. Anyone eating a seven layer dip with might look a little crazy on the outside, but in reality, the flavors actually go too well together. Aquarius and Scorpio understand each other on a deep, fundamental level. They match each other’s freak, okay? That’s all you need to know.

Cancer & Capricorn: Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips + Karoun Tzatziki Labne
This down-to-earth duo always keeps it real. Like plain-old pita chips and tzatziki, there’s no BS between these two signs. Similar to the way Karoun Tzatziki Labne swooped in at the last second to claim first place in our tzatziki ranking (redefining our idea of good tzatziki), Capricorn is the underappreciated genius of the zodiac. When a problem needs fixing, they know exactly what to do—honestly, they probably noticed the problem way before everyone else and already came up with a solution.
You can’t hide the feels, Cancer. Your emotions are Simply Naked, laid bare for people to see! And if there is anyone who will constantly reassure you that it’s okay to be transparent and express yourself, it’s your Capricorn bestie. (Who may struggle with that themselves sometimes, and actually admires it in you!) You both value honesty and hard work—which means you rely on each other like very few zodiac pairings can. *Cue the tears.*
