And what does it say of certain snacks? EXCERPT: >>Meat snacks: You're gregarious, generous, over-trusting, and go out of your way to please others.<< (That would be, uh, Turkey Legs, I believe...) >>Popcorn: You're likely very successful, but are extremely modest and humble - possibly the millionaire philanthropist who lives next door.<< (Or that Disney nerd with much to be modest and humble about...) >>If you like pretzels, you're over-committed, fad-following, quirky and fun.<< (In other words-- a Disney geek.) Alas, no mention of churros, but here's what the book says about doughnuts, which are also deep fried, sugary dough: >>Men who prefer donuts for breakfast are thoughtful and more sexually reserved. They enjoy group activities and value their guy friends but may fear rejection from women.<< (Hey, I didn't say it. It's all SCIENCE. Who can argue with that?)

Compatible with rocky roads and other vanillas.>>

Originally Posted By DLfreek86 Strawberry lovers tend to be followers, not leaders, who work well in teams. They are slow to love, but are loyal and supportive once they've committed. Compatible with rocky roaders and vanillas. Snack crackers: You're a nonconfrontational, well-rounded, analytical thinker who enjoys time alone. Look for a partner in the pretzel aisle. I'm not sayin' what breakfast food I like. LOL Gingerbread latte lovers feel special and enjoy power. They may also be easily irritated (Well I love chai tea latte's, which is close I think) If you like most of the following items: bananas, broiled fish, fruit, honey, tapioca, nuts and hot curry, you're a natural optimist who values friends and is easy to work with. If you like grapes or plums, you're probably a quiet introvert who enjoys flying solo. Veddy veddy interesting.
