Does the type of candy you eat say something about your personality?

Here is my confession…I like sweets - candy, cake, chocolate muffins (still cake) and other goodies. I keep peppermints in my purse for times that I need something soothing. I wouldn’t call this my favorite candy but, it’s good in a pinch.

A little girl at the summer camp where I work was crying because she had an “accident” on herself. I offered her a peppermint to console her. One of the staff whispered to me, “You have that old people’s candy, the kind they have in church.” I smiled and her and said, “would you like one?” She’s older than I am.

My coworker and I joked about the candy. However, it made me stop and wonder, does the candy you eat say something about your personality? So for fun I asked Google this very question. What I found was a quiz that asked which type of candy would you choose for you trick or treat bag?
 

Some of the candy listed as options in the quiz were, Nerds, Butterfinger, Snickers, Twizzlers and Jelly Beans. I selected Twizzlers as my favorite candy and below are the results.

 

“You have a short attention span and are easily distracted. Your eye can't help but drift toward colorful, bold things. You are a total kid at heart, and you're drawn toward anything fun. You're the type most likely to eat candy as much as you can!”

 

The results from the quiz were pretty much on target for my personality. You can try the quiz yourself at www.blogthings.com/whatdoesyourfavoritecandysayaboutyouquiz/. If you don’t like the results select a different candy and view the results.

 

I asked my son if there was a certain type of candy he thought would be considered “old people’s” candy. He said, “Payday and Almond Joy.”

I asked my son if he thought peppermints were “old people’s” candy. He said, “no.” Of course he can eat a whole bag of peppermints over the course of a few days.

The last time I checked the back of candy wrappers there was no age requirement or age limit listed. My mom likes peppermints and Sour Patch Kids, is she considered young or old? If this were to be analyzed according to personality, I would give the following assessment.

 
If you like Sour Patch Kids you’re a kid at heart, you like candy with a lot of sugar, and your’re on the move a lot. This assessment is purely made up from my creative right brain way of thinking.
 

So what do you think…does the type of candy you eat say something about your personality?
