Let's be honest- we all have at least one or two guilty pleasure foods.
Whether it's creamy, gooey macaroni and cheese or decadent chocolate cake, there are those foods that we dream about and immediately run to when we want to eat something warm and comforting. They're the guilty pleasure foods- the ones that we know are not the best for us, but we want to eat them anyway.
There are some guilty pleasure foods, like french fries, that pretty much everyone loves. Others, like deep fried pickles or Funfetti cupcakes, are a little bit more of an acquired taste. Whether we grab the jar of Nutella and a soup spoon after a long day or call our fave pizza parlor, we all like to give in to our vices once in a while. In this ultimate tasty quiz, we give everyone the opportunity to pick or pass on some of the most delicious guilty pleasures in the world... and we will guess their sign! Our sign and our comfort food preferences are completely and inextricably linked, so readers shouldn't be too surprised when the sign we reveal is the one that they were born under! Ready to play? Let's get started!
Popsicles:
Pick or pass on this ultimate summertime treat! Who can resist the pull of Popsicles? They were our favorite when we were kids and we still love them to this day! Whether made with sweet berries or summery fruits, chocolate or even grown-up flavors like matcha and lavender, Popsicles are the best! After a long day, who loves to grab a Popsicle out of the freezer and dig into a little taste of summer? Pick or pass on this treat.
French Onion Dip:
There are many dips in the world… but they are not all created equal. French Onion Dip is in a league of its own, and let’s be honest, there’s nothing that says “fall” quite like this favorite creamy dip. Whether we eat it with some chips, cut up veggies or even smeared on bread, French Onion Dip is one of the best culinary creations in the entire world. Who loves it as much as we do? Pick or pass on this dip.
Deep Fried Pickles:
Deep Fried Pickles have a bit of a cult following. There are those who think that the sour, tangy pickles deep fried to perfection and served with an addictive sauce deserve their own place in the food hall of fame. Others would prefer a hard pass on this snack delight. We want to know who falls into which camp so we can reveal your sign! Who loves Deep Fried Pickles? Who thinks that they are a food abomination? Pick or pass.
Chocolate Mug Cake:
The day that we learned to make Mug Cake was the day that we truly learned how to live. Okay… maybe that’s a little exaggeration, but not much. Mug Cake is a game changer. Instead of waiting all day for our cake to bake, we just mix up a few ingredients and pop them in the microwave. Viola! A few minutes later we have our gooey and delicious Mug Cake. It’s even better when it’s chocolate flavored! So much yum!
Hot Dogs:
This summertime and ballpark favorite is so popular because it’s completely delicious and it can be topped with just about anything! There are purists who love to top their Hot Dogs with just a little mustard and ketchup, while others will load them up with some chili or gooey cheese sauce. Maybe you’re one of those people that like to dress up their Hot Dogs with some pickles or onions? There is no wrong answer when it comes to Hot Dogs!
Funfetti Cakes:
There are two camps of people- those who love Funfetti and those who have no idea what it is. For Funfetti devotees, this fun topping combines two amazing flavors, vanilla frosting, and sprinkles. It’s a favorite topping for birthday cakes and cupcakes, but some people like to eat it right out of the can. We have to admit that we’re guilty as charged when it comes to getting our Funfetti frosting on! Who wants to pick these Funfetti cakes? Pick or pass?
Cherry Danish:
Cherry Danishes are one of those breakfast faves that will never go out of style. How can you go wrong when it comes to flaky pastry and cherry filling? Did we mention the drizzle of vanilla icing? Cherry Danishes take brunch from ordinary to out-of-this-world and taste just as delicious warm or cold. They are a true superstar! Who agrees with us that Cherry Danishes are in a league of their own? Who prefers to pass on this flaky breakfast fave?
Oreos:
The dunkable chocolate and vanilla cookie has something of a cult following and now even comes in more flavors than the standard vanilla. According to Spoon University, you can find Oreos in all sorts of strange flavors like Caramel Apple, Jelly Donut, Candy Corn, Limemade, Root Beer Float, Chocolate Strawberry, Waffles and Syrup, and Watermelon! Travel across the pond and you can find Green Tea Oreos or even Wasabi Oreos. For the purposes of this question- pick or pass on the original flavor!
Giant Cinnamon Bun:
Why have a tiny Cinnamon Bun when you can have a giant Cinnamon Bun! We’re talking about a Cinnamon Bun the size of your head, bursting with cinnamon flavor and coated with vanilla glaze. We’re talking about a Cinnamon Bun that it takes at least fifteen minutes to eat. Get the picture? Some people can’t get enough of the combination of cinnamon, sweet dough, and vanilla frosting. Others would prefer to go with a chocolately dessert instead. Pick or pass.
French Fries:
What’s a quiz about guilty pleasure food without a mention of the greatest guilty pleasure food that ever was- French Fries! Whether you like them crinkle-cut, thick or shoe-string, there’s something about French Fries that just screams “comfort food”. Dip them in traditional ketchup, mayonnaise or go a little nuts and break out the mustard. There are no rules! Some people even prefer to dip them in curry sauce or eat them plain with some salt and pepper. You do you!
Frosted Donuts:
Donuts are the best thing ever because eating them is like getting a pass to have dessert for breakfast. Seriously, let’s not play here- we all know that Donuts are a breakfast snack but that doesn’t make them any less tasty. Whether they’re frosted in chocolate or dripped in strawberry or vanilla glaze, the satisfying taste of a good frosted Donut is a thing of beauty. Are we right? Who picks Frosted Donuts? Who will pass on this breakfast treat?
Eggo Waffles And Syrup:
For the purposes of this question, we are not just talking about any kind of waffle- we are talking about Eggo Waffles and Syrup- the kind that fills up those little holes with sugary goodness.

Pick or pass on these special waffles.
Cheesecake:
There are several varieties of Cheesecake so if your preference is not the berry coated New York Style one seen here, feel free to pretend it’s a Turtle Cheesecake or even just a plain Cheesecake that is perfectly baked and cased in a delicious graham cracker crust. It’s up to everyone to determine what their favorite type of Cheesecake is! Who loves the taste of a great Cheesecake? Who will pass on this one? Pick or pass from the options listed.
Chocolate Chips:
For those dessert purists out there we offer the humble Chocolate Chip. These babies can make an ordinary shortbread cookie sing, or are just perfect on their own. We prefer to eat them by the handful in front of Netflix. Who is with us? If you love Chocolate Chips as much as we do, make sure that you pick these glorious little mini sweet treats. Otherwise, you can pass on this selection. It’s up to everyone to decide for themselves.
Tuna Melt:
Tuna Melts are just comfort food in sandwich form. They combine all of our favorite elements- tuna and mayonnaise, cheddar cheese and toasted bread. That’s a whole lotta carbs and delicious fats that will turn any not-so-good day into a gold-star day! Okay, maybe Tuna Melts don’t have transformative powers, but they certainly qualify as one of the ultimate guilty pleasure foods. Who loves Tuna Melts as much as we do? Who will pass on this guilty pleasure food favorite?

It was a beautiful day when Cake Pops came into our lives. These babies are the best thing in the world for when you want to have some cake and frosting but want to keep that pesky portion control in check also! The best thing about Chocolate Dipped Cake Pops is that you can eat more than one and enjoy a variety of flavors, instead of being stuck with one boring piece of cake.

Mozzarella Sticks:
Mozzarella Sticks are the ultimate pub food- and anyone who has ever snapped open one of these deep-fried, breaded goodies and watched the cheese ooze out knows the unique joy of scoffing down a plate of Mozzarella Sticks. Best when served right out of the oven or deep-fryer, Mozzarella Sticks are generally served with a little dish of piping warm tomato sauce. They are technically a food that’s meant to be shared, but who really does that? Pick or pass.
Hot Buffalo Wings:
There are those Buffalo Wing purists who think that these tasty wings need to originate from Buffalo, New York in order to be considered totally authentic. Others think that they can come from anywhere as long as they are coated in that addictive buttery hot sauce and served with a side of Blue Cheese or Ranch dressing (another area of contention- people are bitterly divided between Blue Cheese and Ranch dressing!) Who loves Buffalo Wings as much as we do?
Fritos:
Fritos are the ultimate gas station food- and we mean that with all of the love in the world. These things are salty heaven and we can eat them by the handful.

Who is with us on this? Pick or pass on Fritos and we’ll reveal your sign.
Thin Crust Pizza:
There are two camps of people when it comes to pizza. Some like their pizza with a deep crust- full of sauce, toppings, and cheese. Others want a thin-crust slice that is easily foldable for convenient consumption. We are completely in the thin-crust camp and think that there’s nothing like a huge slice of pie that is less than half an inch thick, covered in molten cheese and just a little bit on the saucy side. Who here is with us?
Carrot Cake:
Carrot Cake deserves its own spot in the dessert hall of fame. It is just about the only cake made from a vegetable that is as equally tasty as it is unique.

There is no wrong way to make a delicious Brownie and the only thing better than baking them is eating them!
