Halloween is just around the corner and I'm pretty nostalgic about trick-or-treating. The costumes, the fun-size candy, the old women who gave me pennies instead of the goods, creepy young adults who haven't moved on. Childhood. Anyway, your favorite Halloween candy says a lot about you and I've taken the liberty to decipher you.
1. Atomic Fireball
You probably have a weird pet for the sole reason of telling other people. "Your dog is alright, but my tarantula/stingray/capybara/skunk is just SO interesting." Everything you do is for attention and to out-do everyone.
2. Almond Joy
You eat chicken caesar wraps because they're "fresh" and "healthy." You are a strong advocate for the athleisure trend and make sure EVERYONE know when you're on your way to pilates. Your choice Starbucks beverage is a skinny vanilla latte.
3. Hershey's Bar
You're incredibly vanilla. You don't season your chicken and your favorite color is grey.
4. Butterfinger
You wear ironic t-shirts.
5. Tootsie Roll
You're yelling at kids to get off your lawn and regularly quote Teddy Roosevelt. Unfortunately, you can no longer enjoy your favorite candy because of your dentures. But you are nostalgic about the flavor.
6. 3 Musketeers
You're always "watching what you eat" and heavily relate to yogurt commercials featuring middle aged women. You have bought sneakers that were supposed to target your problem areas and were disappointed in the lack of return for your $100. Your 3 Musketeers bar is a way for you to indulge, but you still argue it's a good choice because the commercial talked about it being low-fat.
7. Reese's Cups
You're desperate for others' approval. If your Instagram doesn't reach a certain amount of likes, your mood is off for a few days. You hate Game of Thrones, but pretend to like it so you can relate to your peers and share a connection. They didn't catch on with Breaking Bad, why would they now?
8. Skittles
You're unnaturally chipper ALL. THE. TIME. Everyone hates you before noon because you're just in everyone's face when they're trying to enjoy their morning coffee. What's it like being tired? Who knows? Not you.
9. Snickers
You listen to Christmas music all year round. Not Mariah Carey's classic and gift to mankind, "All I Want for Christmas is You." I'm not even talking about Josh Groban and his golden vocal cords singing, "I'll be Home for Christmas." No. The classics. Exclusively.
10. Junior Mints
Eating Junior Mints is the most exciting thing in your life right now. You're either studying Greek Mythology or some sort of engineering. No in between.
11. M & M's
You self-describe yourself as "quirky" and your Tinder bio definitely includes the word "awkward" somewhere.
12. Baby Ruth
You know those Facebook posts like, "SHARE to prove your love for Jesus," "97% of people won't share this but bees dying is a bad thing," and "Obama is really an alien lizard man. SHARE to spread the TRUTH."? Baby Ruth lovers share those posts.
13. Twizzlers
You've graduated high school but still talk about it regularly and refer to it as "the good ole days." You're like TOTALLY into Nirvana and Kurt Cobain just GETS you, but only vaguely know the chorus to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Kurt Cobain being dead since 1994 was news to you recently.
14. Jelly Beans
You're over the age of 40 and have no regard for people in the service industry. You'll loudly sigh and talk smack about the cashier in front of them for not helping you right away. The hostess doesn't give you a booth in 0.0002 seconds? Forget it! One star rating on Yelp! You probably rant to your waiter about how tipping is theft.
15. Pixy Sticks
You have passionate arguments with people that skateboarding is a sport. You say "gnarly" regardless if people from your hometown say it. No one believes you, Todd from Nebraska.
16. Dark Chocolate of Any Variety
You are incredibly pretentious and people are exhausted after having conversations with you. You belittle people with "easy" majors while frequently complaining about your workload. If you don't have a prescription, you wear glasses without the lenses to look smarter.
17. Gummy Bears
You find yourself genuinely enjoying elevator music. You think nothing would be cooler than playing the standing bass in a jazzy coffee shop.
18. Fun Dip
You have zero regard for hygiene. You rarely wash your hands, don't use tissues, and let your dirty dishes pile in the sink. People are afraid to use the bathroom in your house because there's no soap or towels.
19. Milky Way
You frequently have to defend yourself and your preferences. Yeah what you like isn't bad, but people rarely share favorite things with you. It's like having your favorite color as green. It's a fine color, but people rarely name it as their favorite.
20. Candy Corn
You probably ate glue as a kid. Or an adult. You might as well since candy corn is trash. Have fun with your trash candy.
