About This Quiz

Canada is known for having its own specialty snacks, but Canadians don't exclusively snack on domestic treats. Canadians are people of refined taste, after all! While there's nothing like enjoying a Caramilk bar or a BeaverTail, expanding your snacking into things like M&M's or Hershey bars is equally as enjoyable. Not to mention the fruits and vegetables that are available as healthier options for those who would prefer them.

Growing up in Canada, you surely learned what you like and don't like when it comes to food. No matter if you were a picky eater or someone who could be considered more adventurous, there had to be something that you enjoyed bringing to school in your lunchbox! That can say a lot about you. 

Your current snacking habits may be influenced by what you ate as you grew up, or maybe you have become completely opposite to what you once were. No matter what, you probably haven't lost your taste for the finest snacks around!

Do you prefer nachos over other types of chips? How about M&M's over Smarties? If you think you have great taste, then take this quiz to see if we can guess which province you grew up in!
