We all have our favourite candy. Whether that would be a chocolate bar or something small, there is something for us all. However, your favourite candy says something about you.

Let’s start with M&Ms. You are a simple person who likes simple things. M&Ms are basic with their colourful shells and chocolate insides. You don’t like it when things melt and also like simple fillings like peanuts or almonds.

Then there are Smarties, M&M’s younger sibling. You probably know M&Ms more than Smarties but you are impressed by what they can do to you. I once had cookies with Smarties in them and was sad when we were running out of them. Something about the paler colours gets to you and you don’t even realize it until you’re finished.

For the few Americans that read this, the thing you call Smarties are called Rockets everywhere else. Rockets tell us you are not afraid of anything. Not a lot of people like Rockets which means you want to stand out from the crowd. You are someone who wants to make a statement.

Reese’s peanut butter cups say you’re not basic. You like peanut butter more than chocolate. You don’t conform to society’s perception of a chocolate bar. That cup shape is a lot more attractive than any other bar you have seen. On another note, Reese’s Pieces also say you’re not basic. You got tired of eating Smarties and M&Ms so you started eating Reece’s Pieces. Now you’re the most annoying person on the block, think you are superior to everyone.

On the opposite end of Reese’s, there are Hershey’s bars. You are a lot more basic than the M&Ms person. You are telling us you don’t like candy but will have something every once in a while. This is what you think of when you think of a chocolate bar. However, if you feel a bit risky, you’re going for the cookies and cream ones. You swear by these things and you are willing to kill anyone that steals your bar. I learned this the hard way when my sister yelled at me for touching her cookies and cream bar.

KitKat is an interesting one. You are probably hostile when it comes to everything. You get violent when you see someone eat the bar whole instead of breaking them up into sticks. No one knows how to eat these things. You either eat each piece like normal or treat them like a wafer.

Speaking of wafers, you are just as, if not more violent than the KitKat enjoyers. You get mad immediately when someone doesn’t eat each piece layer by layer. You swear by eating them layer by layer or else it’s sacrilegious.

Twizzlers are another interesting case. You get pretty excited when they’re there. You think you enjoy them, but when you bite into them, you immediately remember why you don’t go out of the way to eat these things. You believe the type of people that enjoy these things are the same people that order their steak well done.

On the same spectrum are Almond Joys. You remember them not being as bad as you thought. You decide to bite into one, but the coconut decides to hit and you regret your decision. “I thought they were Almond Joys, not Coconut Joys,” you say as the people around you are disgusted by the thought of an Almond Joy.

Let’s not forget the gummies here. Gummy bears and worms are the things you probably thought of first. You remember filling up that candy bag with a bunch of these colourful confections. You get them today and they are exactly how you remember them. You may not enjoy it as much, but at least they taste the same.

Sour Patch Kids (or any other sour gummy) tell us you love store candy. You will buy a bag of these and will finish them in the car. This is the closest thing you will ever get to liking something sour.

Chips aren’t exactly candy, but I feel like they should be a part of this. Lay’s originals tell us you are an adult. You don’t want anything more from your chips other than potato, salt, oil, and the other chemicals that are in there. You don’t mind the amount of air that is in each bag. If you like to have something more flavourful, you are probably buying sour cream and onion-flavoured Lay’s. Or if you want to be super Canadian, you are reaching for that bag of ketchup Lay’s.

Cheetos and Doritos tell everyone you are not afraid to get messy. You don’t care that your fingers are now covered in cheese dust. You are probably the reason why the second player controller at your friend’s house is covered in said dust.

Pringles tell us you like things the be organized. The luxury of having them in a can instead of a flimsy bag is enough for you to buy. While you would like to explore other flavours like salt and vinegar, you always want to go back to the original. You can’t fathom the idea of eating another flavour other than the original.

Let’s get back to chocolate. If you enjoy Coffe Crisp, you are telling us you are a go-getter. You like to be on the move. Sure, they’re not healthy, but you feel like they are better than you think.

Oh Henry! tells us you are someone who likes things to be interesting. No more of this regular chocolate-covered wafer garbage, you want nuts and caramel all in the same bar.

Candy tells us a bunch of things. It tells us where your sweet tooth lies. Chocolate people are simple and want nothing more from their sweets. Licorice and drier candy tell us you are bold. Chips tell us you are not a candy person but like being treated. No matter what, there is candy we all enjoy, even if we can’t agree with everyone’s opinion on them.
