Ah, the age-old debate of what to call that backyard game we all know and love. Some folks swear by “cornhole,” while others are die-hard “bags” enthusiasts. It’s like the cola vs. soda battle, but with bean bags and wooden boards!
Now, “cornhole” is the more common term in some parts of the country, especially in the Midwest where this game has deep roots. The name comes from the fact that you’re tossing bags filled with corn kernels into a hole in a wooden board. It’s a bit more descriptive, I suppose. On the other hand, “bags” is simpler and gets right to the point. You’re tossing bags; it’s as straightforward as that. Me, I’m a “bags” guy, and with more than 27 million hashtags, I don’t seem to be alone.
The truth is, it doesn’t matter which name you prefer. What’s important is that you’re having a blast playing this fun and often competitive game with friends and family. So, whether you’re team “cornhole” or team “bags,” just enjoy the game and the good times it brings!
