From energetic to adventurous, what your favourite snack flavour says about you!
It’s well-known across the UK that Brits have diverse tastes when it comes snacks, and currently, the average adult regularly consumes a snack at least twice per day. Research has revealed that when Brits were quizzed on what made the perfect snack – flavour was most popular with 48 per cent, while 35 per cent said it needed to be something you’d look forward to eating. Leading food psychologist, Greg Tucker, has today revealed what your favourite snack says about your personality!
As some of us may enjoy something savoury, others may opt for something sweet. Some may like salt and vinegar crisps whilst the same would turn the stomachs of others. We rarely think about the choices we make when it comes to flavours and tend to follow our senses without giving a second thought whilst observing others taking a completely different route down the snack isle. But new findings have revealed how our favourite flavours could divulge a lot more about us than just our snack preference. A person’s favourite savoury snack is the gateway to getting to know them better, as well as an easy and fun way to find out more about their personality without asking.
Insights show Brits who like a spicy kick in their snack are deemed to be adventurous, whereas those who enjoy classic salt and pepper are more authentic and down to earth.
The food psychologist, who has partnered with beef jerky brand Jack Link’s, says, “In such an emotionally rich environment, we should not be surprised how much flavour choices play in revealing insight into our mood and personality.
