Name your fave junk food & I'll tell you what it reveals about you

[prolesunited]

Your choice is LIMITED to the following options

pretzels

cheese curls

potato chips

tortilla chips

beef jerky

So, of this list what are you most likely to snack on. I'll reveal the answer once a number of people have responded.

[hatrack]

1. Flamin' Hot Cheetos (God help me!)

So sue me!!! ;-)

[prolesunited]

13. Aren't Cheetos

and cheese curls the same? You want to stick with this one or go with the tortilla chips?

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. No, cheetos are the hard, dense crunchy ones

cheese puffs are the larger ones that have the density of water vapor.

[prolesunited]

19. Didn't realize there were such nuances.

What would you classify Cheetos as?

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Not sure what you mean by "classify"

Junk food, I guess. Unless you are thinking of some other sub-classification or perhaps a lateral classification?

[GOPisEvil]

2. Of that list? Tortilla chips.(Gotta have salsa too though)

[m-jean03]

Great minds...

eat alike. :9

[eyesroll]

3. Of those? Potato chips. Salt and vinegar, specifically.

Or Pizza Pringles, which are simultaneously disgusting and delicious.

[robertpaulsen]

9. I'll second those Pizzalicious Pringles.

Yummy! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I love those too! They are hard to find around here though.

They do tend to make one feel ill after eating a can don't they? :hi:

[robertpaulsen]

36. Yeah, I usually only eat 1/4 of the chips in the can.

I did eat a whole can once. I didn't have dinner that night. But in limited quantities they are scrumptious!

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Cheese curls...except for the yellow hands part.

:hi:

[jedicord]

5. Potato Chips

barbecued, preferably

[m-jean03]

6. Tortilla chips

Especially if I gots salsa and guacomole with 'em.

:9

[HornBuckler]

7. Beef Jerky, Tortilla Chips, And Pretzels

In That Order - Although I Injest A Lot More Tortilla Chips (Due To My AMAZING Salsa) Than Beef Jerky. And I Can Proudly Eat Pretzels Without Choking!

[Divernan]

8. Tortilla chips

So fresh they're still warm, served with HOT salsa and cold beer, preferably after a morning of diving in Cozumel!

[NC_Nurse]

10. tortilla chips

then pretzels...yummmm...

[Susang]

11. Cheetos!!!!

I love the way they disintegrate on your tongue. Disgusting but good! }(

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Tie between potato and tortilla chips (nt)

[prolesunited]

14. Hmm...

Apparently you have a split personality. ;-)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. Yes, I most definitely have-- NO I HAVE NOT! I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS--

(bangs head repeatedly against the wall) ahhh, that's better.

Now, where were we?

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. beef jerky

can one ever have enough? No, of course not.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. I make great beef jerky..with several different cuts...brisket being about

the best...

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Never gotten around to making my own

I'd like to some day.

but for now, I go down to the beef jerky place in Chinatown and get freshly made, wondrous, mouth-orgasm jerky.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

39. You can get a great dehydrator for around 30 bucks

since I have a vegetable garden and herbs..it's well worth it to me

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. Does it taste better from the dehydrater, than from doing it in the oven?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

47. About the same ...

dehydrator is faster...tomatoes work better in the dehydrator than the oven though..and of course fruits are much faster

the whole fun is making different flavors....sweet..peppered...or other spices that you wouldn't get from a shop..for instance..I marinate slices of sirloin in orange, garlic and hot sauce and soy with a bit of brown sugar...and it tastes fabulous!

[Rabrrrrrr]

54. Ah, my mouth - it waters

I can't take it no more...

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. I also like to eat pretzels and potato chips together

That's a match made in heaven! Yum yum.

[GingerSnaps]

24. Pretzels

I can't stop eating them.

[Gothic Sponge]

25. I don't eat anything on that list

What does that say about me?

[name not needed]

26. Cheese Balls

[gula]

27. Tortilla chips with hot salsa

What's beef jerky? Meat from an unpleasant cow?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

28. "Gula" means gluttony in Portuguese. Thought you'd like to know that. ;)

[gula]

49. Are you serious? I don't believe it!

Of course, I just came back from Europe with 2 bags full of food, so maybe there is something to it. :-)

I'll be talking to one of my Portuguese clients tomorrow, so I'll check.

[SarahB]

29. ice cream

Even us sugar-free types can eat it. I just discovered this Turkey Hill CarbIQ stuff with peanut butter swirls and chocolate candy things. So. Freakin'. Good. :P

[prolesunited]

34. You must not have read the question

closely enough.

Look at the list, pretend you don't watch what you eat and chose. :-)

BTW, ice cream is my fave as well, but I don't do any of the low carb, fat free, etc. If I'm going to indulge, which I try to limit (funny how it often seems to be once a month timed to my cycle :P ), I go for the good stuff, either Ben and Jerry's or this mom-and-pop shop down the street that has real dairy soft serve.

[SarahB]

37. Oops!- Tortilla Chips then

with salsa and melted cheddar :P

[democratreformed]

30. Out of that list, it would be beef jerky n/t

[supernova]

31. Tortilla chips

esp Tostino's w/ hint of Lime. Food of the Gods! :D :9

[ceile]

32. Doritos, Doritos, Doritos!!

Or tortilla chips with queso! YUM!
:9

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

33. Fritos ( which are a glorified tortilla/corn flour mix)

Otherwise, pretzels all the way.

[prolesunited]

35. So, is it tortilla chips (glorified or not)

or pretzels? Pick one.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

38. tortilla chips

[GhostThatWalks]

41. Gotta hav my tortilla chips

Yup

[slinkerwink]

42. Fritos and Reese's Cups

[prolesunited]

48. Hmm...

I didn't see those on the list of choices. :-)

[Blue-Jay]

50. OK Slink, That's just gross.

peanut butter/chocolate Fritos®? ewww.

I haven't liked Fritos® since college. A former roommate had stinky feet that smelled exactly like Fritos, and it totally ruined the "Frito experience" for me.

[Blue-Jay]

43. Nachos and "stinky cheese".

yeah, I made the stinky cheese out of Velveeta and Monterey Jack, with burning hot salsa and chili. Trust me, it's good. (Velveeta "cheese-food" notwithstanding) For the bold, I'll also add some Dave's Insanity Sauce and diced habanero peppers.

[prolesunited]

46. Nachos?!?!?

Did you see nachos on the list in the original list. :spank:

[Blue-Jay]

52. Sue me. I'm a non-conformist.

I'll put my "stinky cheese" up against anyone else's. It's the tequila of snacks: Good idea at the time, but you'll regret it later.

[prolesunited]

56. Well, I guess

your choice *does* indicate your personality then after all. :loveya:

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

44. WHERE ARE THE COOKIES DAMNIT!!!

[prolesunited]

45. Wasn't included in the study

Hey, I'm not just makin' this stuff up.

Of the list, pick one.

[Beaverhausen]

51. Potato Chips- Ruffles have ridges

yum.

And yes this is the "fat and salt" junk food list

Where's the "fat and sugar" list?

[WoodrowFan]

53. cheese curls

[Padraig18]

55. Cheese curls.

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! :)

[Pithlet]

67. Yours definitely fits.

From a fellow cheese curl lover :)

[Deja Q]

57. potato chips aka Salt & Vingar kettle chips.

:9 :9

[Carolina]

58. cheese popcorn

and really greasy French fries

[prolesunited]

59. Not on the list

check the original question

BTW, I'll be posting what your choices reveal in a few minutes before I leave for the day

[Carolina]

65. Doh! can't read

need my popcorn fix :dunce: !!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

60. OK dammit, beef jerky..now tell me how fucked up I am

:D

[prolesunited]

62. LOL!

Yours fits you perfectly. :D

[Pithlet]

61. Cheese curls

Now I want some.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

63. Little Debbie Nutty Bars!

NO! Lemon pudding cake. Umm... wait, its really pumpkin pie. Or... Aw man, I can't decide!

[prolesunited]

64. HERE'S WHAT YOUR CHOICES REVEAL!

This is the true meaning of all that junk food you eat:

Pretzels mean you're a flirt and you're very lively and energetic.

Cheese curls mean you have great integrity and maintain a high moral ground.

Potato chips mean you are aggressive, a real go-getter who will not take no for an answer.

Tortilla chips mean you're a perfectionist. An "A" is not good enough for you. It has to be an "A+."

Beef jerky means you're the life of the party. You're outgoing and gregarious.


It is based on this article:
Junk Food You Eat Reveals Your Personality
If I eat pretzels, does that really mean I'm a flirt? Dr. Alan Hirsch from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago says so. He conducts research into a branch of psychology called "hedonics," which deals with pleasant and unpleasant feelings.

So, do your choices match with your personality? In some cases, I would say it is spot on.

On edit: And some people's responses simply demonstrate that they don't read the question before they post. :P

[Lydia Leftcoast]
