Goldfish are a more tasty snack than Cheezits. They are thicker and smaller crackers that offer a wider variety of flavors.

This claim is unable to be true or false because it is an opinionated statement. However, that being said - due to the second sentence - this claim could be seen as false. This is because, while it is true that goldfish are thicker, cheez its actually offer a significantly larger amount of flavors than goldfish do, making that part of the claim false.

Due to the format and wording of this "fact" it makes this an opinion not a fact. Also everyone has their opinion on what types of snacks are better, making it a universal question.

You make a valid point! The way something is phrased can definitely affect whether it's perceived as a fact or an opinion. In this case, if the statement isn't backed by objective evidence (like a clear ranking or study), it could come off more as a subjective viewpoint rather than an indisputable fact.

This article can not be considered true or false, let alone a fact, as it is a completely subjective opinion about two different kinds of snacks. However, that being said - due to the second sentence - this claim could be seen as false. This is because, while it is true that goldfish are thicker, cheez its offer a significantly larger amount of flavors than goldfish do, making that part of the claim false.
