About This Quiz

Are you searching for the Holy Grail of snack foods? If so, Canada is one of the best places in the world to begin your quest in terms of the sheer variety (and deliciousness) of available options. If you're a chocaholic, you'll be able to choose from Coffee Crisp, Crunchie bars, Wunderbar, Crispy Crunch, Aero, Maltesers and Smarties. If you love salty snacks, you won't be able to get enough of the delightfully unique chip flavours to be found in stores across the nation — ketchup and all-dressed are merely a starting point when it comes to Canadian chips. There are also snacks that fall somewhere between the two opposite spectrums (and snacks which are in a distinct category of their own.)

Your preferred snack food will depend on all kinds of different factors, including your personality and living circumstances (amongst many other things.) Tell us a little bit about yourself, and we'll decide which Canadian snack you resemble — and which one you're most likely to eat on a regular basis. Are you ready? Pour yourself a bowl of Hickory Sticks, pop open a birch beer (the non-alcoholic beverage, of course) and get ready to find out which distinctly Canadian snack you are!
