Flavourology: What Ice-Cream Flavour Are You?

To celebrate the sunny warm-ish weather we are having in Vancouver, I'll share this silly but slightly insightful online quiz with you.

What Ice-Cream Flavour Are You?


"You may not know it, but a litre of your favourite ice-cream can speak gallons about your character. Loosely based on the science of "flavourology", our fun quiz can tell you all about your ice-cream personality - and which flavour you're most compatible with."

There is one pop-up survey but it isn't that intrusive. And does anyone know why the ' and " turn into ?s on these pages?


You scored 33.3% Toffee
Organised, put-together, earthy Toffee types are valued for their fairness, efficiency and naturalness. You won't see a Toffee lover putting on airs. In fact, it can be hard for no-nonsense Toffees to express themselves at all - even though they're privately quite sympathetic and observant. As a Toffee lover, you like to plan ahead and take charge, which means you're often over-committed. Like Vanillas, Toffees are most compatible with their own kind - other Toffee lovers who appreciate hard work and good sense.

You scored 33.3% Vanilla
Contrary to what you may expect, Vanilla types aren't bland or boring. Vanilla is far and away the most popular ice-cream flavour, and the Vanilla type is gregarious, impulsive, fun loving and expressive. In fact, you probably have a hard time making up your mind - Vanillas are known for never saying no, even when they probably should. The Vanilla lover takes a romantic, hopeful view of life: live for the moment, and everything will work out fine. And Vanilla types are happiest with their own kind - only someone equally spontaneous and energetic will do.

You scored 22.2% Chocolate
If you're a Chocolate ice-cream type, you are flirtatious, charming and even a little dramatic - and you're also in good company: Chocolate is the second most popular ice cream flavour! You're an intuitive and sensitive person who puts a high value on family, relationships and romance. But your instincts can sometimes steer you wrong: You can be easily influenced in directions that you know aren't the best for you, and you have a tendency toward self-indulgence. Still, your generosity, your liveliness and your trusting nature have earned you many admirers and friends. Chocolate types are compatible with reliable Toffees and high-focus, high-energy Chocolate Chips.

You scored 11.1% Strawberry
Strawberries are naturally loyal, honest and trustworthy. Strawberry lovers, in common with fans of Raspberry Ripple, probably have a devoted circle of friends who rely on you for the right answer to any moral dilemma. Like Chocolate Chips, you set high standards for yourself, but you are somewhat shy and reserved. And you don't like to admit it, but you're also a tad pessimistic. Maybe you're just disappointed that no one can live up to your own responsibility and forthrightness. Strawberry types do well with optimistic, outgoing Chocolate Chips.

You scored 0% Chocolate Chip
If you're a Chocolate Chip lover, you're a creative force to be reckoned with (this also applies to lovers of Cookies and Cream, Mint Choc Chip and other "chunky" ice creams). You've got a competitive streak a mile wide, but it brings out the best in you by forcing you to live up to your own demanding standards. You can be rather unforgiving at times with those who don't share your vision and drive, but friends value your magnetism, charm and originality. Chocolate Chips are best off with high-achieving Toffees and empathetic, insightful Chocolates.


Now what this quiz is missing it one of my favourite ice-cream ingredients: bananas!!!

I propose that Banana lovers are playful, humourous, and moody. (I think of some more traits another time.)
