SNACKS! Who doesn't love snacks? We love snacks. We love snacks so much that we're willing to give up sleep just to keep snacking. Some might call this “late night binging”, but we think of it more as “fulfilling our snack passion”. While we can't say with confidence whether or not the characters in the Star Wars universe love snacks as much as we do, we wouldn't be surprised if they did. This is why we've decided to craft this quiz. The love of snacks is a prevalent theme in many lives, making it easy to draw comparisons between characters and humans based on their snack preference.
Pick or pass on these snack foods and we'll reveal who everyone's Star Wars twin is. Is it Vader? Is it Leia? Is it one of those wild Ewoks? Only time (and snack foods) will tell. Many of these snack foods aren't directly related to Star Wars, but that's okay. We don't need them to be on the nose in order to draw comparisons. This quiz is all about preferences. By learning about the preferences of a character we can figure out the rest of their patterns, most notably in the snack food realm.
Oreos
Round and chocolate-y, Oreos can come in a variety of different flavors. The one thing that’s always the same? An Oreo is round and patterned. An opinion about Oreos is absolutely directly connected to which of the Star Wars characters is your twin.
Salt and vinegar chips
Salty and tart, and definitely not everyone’s taste; this sounds just like a certain space pirate we know. Whether we’re in the mood for salty of sweet is always a difficult thing to figure out. Sometimes we just don’t know. This makes salt and vinegar chips a huge gamble. Half the time they hit the spot, while the other half of the time, they definitely do not.
Mars Bar
Looking for an out of this world snack? Then look no further than a Mars Bar. Mars Bars have been the punchline to space-candy jokes for ages now, giving us endless success when it comes to intergalactic travel via snack food. There’s nothing better than sinking our teeth into a Mars Bar… Right?
French Fries
Seriously, who doesn’t love this delicious, always available snack food. That’s a rhetorical question, as everyone seems to have at least a little bit of an affinity for the salty snack. We are the emperors of our own imperial fry guard when a plate of these potatoes is in front of us.
Nachos
Cheesy and messy, and perfect for sharing. Nachos are truly a team endeavor, which is why we’ve decided that they make the perfect criteria for finding a Star Wars twin. Not only do we have to work together to decide how to attack a plate of nachos, we’re often left fighting each other for the last cheesy chips. The conflict is real.
Pita and hummus
The healthiest of all the snacks, this is one that's going to make garlic lovers very happy. We know that after a long day of eating healthy, the last thing we want to do is deprive ourselves of a delicious, filling afternoon snack. Pita and hummus fill that void and keeps us on that healthy track. It’s reliable and delicious… Just like a certain Star Wars character!
All dressed chips
Why choose just one flavor when you could have all of them? We love the idea of single-flavor chips, but in practice they pale in comparison to the all dressed. All dressed chips accept every flavor equally, and merge together to create a dynamic team. Sounds like a Star Wars metaphor if we’ve ever heard one!
Grilled cheese
More of a meal than a snack, but more of a snack than a meal, grilled cheese blurs the line between snack and dinner food. Grilled cheese is hard to define, and is even harder to say no to. Everyone loves this bready, greasy goodness, though few of us treat ourselves to them.
Poutine
It’s like if potatoes and heaven had a baby. Golden, crispy, thick cut french fries are paired with stringy cheese curds and rich gravy. The marriage between these flavors and textures makes for an incredible snack, though we often run into disagreements in dingy bars over which topping comes first: the cheese curds or the gravy.
String cheese
This innocent and unassuming snack food is one that most of us grow out of when we finish grade school. String cheese is the snack for those artistic kids that loved to play with their food before eating it. Many of us vicious kids also admit to making string cheese people and biting off the bits.
Yop/Yogurt drinks
If this doesn’t say sporty, we don’t know what does. Yop is a popular yogurt-based drink, but we’ve extended it to include all of the yogurt drinks on the market. It is possible to lump them together, even if people are vehemently devoted to one brand. That’s the beauty of yogurt drinks: they’re all the same, but also just a little bit different.
Takis
Stop, drop, and roll with these rolled tortilla chip treats. The spicy ones are enough to make even seasoned spice pros’ eyes water, while the mild ones are full of enough flavor we find ourselves with no choice but to eat the whole bag. This is a snack where willpower is essential in order to have any left for tomorrow!
Protein bars
Remember when we talked about Yop as a sporty snack? We stand corrected. Protein bars are some of the sportiest snacks around, which is potentially why they were put on this list. Everyone needs variety in life, and the more we can train all the different sides of our powers the more success we’re sure to have.
Smoothies
Alternatively: smoothie shops. Juice and smoothie bars have truly taken off these days both in availability and in popularity. No longer are we stuck with the simple strawberry/banana or blueberry choices. We’re spoiled for choice in the smoothie business with wild flavors everywhere… Which is a very good thing for those adventurous spirits.
Cheese and crackers
Everyone loves cheese and crackers! There’s something about the way that they look on a plate and feel in our tummies. Cheese and crackers are a comfort food in the same way that ice cream or chips are. They make us feel safe and secure, since most of us probably got a version of these in our lunch kits as kids.
Popcorn
Does your popcorn feature butter and salt, or cinnamon and sugar? Is there garlic or cayenne involved? How about caramel? Maybe you’re more of a kettle corn person. However the popcorn is prepared, the versatility of this snack is undeniable. We certainly would choose to battle evil with this powerful snack force!
Peanut butter toast
Maybe cheese and crackers isn’t the comfort food from childhood that we remember it as. That’s okay! Another classic is peanut butter toast. Melty and salty and totally rich, this snack is sure to leave the eater totally satisfied (but still wanting more). Kind of like the most recent Star Wars movie, right?
Mixed, salted nuts
Why waste the time grinding peanuts into butter when they could just be eaten as-is? Mixed, salted nuts are a very unique flavor that nothing else can satisfy. It’s something about the soft crunch that cashews and almonds have that have us always reaching for another handful. They’re just so good!
Wasabi Peas
Did we say crunch? We should have waited to discuss crunch in this pick or pass. For those that don’t know, wasabi peas are like little bites of heat. They’re dried peas that are coated in a crispy wasabi-based cover, making them delicious and nutritious. Can we say that that’s just like Star Wars? That might be too much of a stretch.
Pringles
Pringles are much more specific than we’ve been in regards to some of our other chip entries, but for a very good reason. Even though Pringles are just chips, they’re a very unique flavor, texture, and shape. Nothing comes close to a Pringle. It’s the standout in a million other versions of chips.
Homemade chocolate chip cookies
Is there anything better than homemade? We don’t think so. Chocolate chip cookies are the equivalent of “home” for many of us, whether our parents baked regularly or not. There’s a mythology surrounding chocolate chip cookies that makes them irresistible. One might say they have a bit of a force to them…
Pop-Tarts
These are sweet treats that many of us eat for both breakfast and dessert. Pop-Tarts are as good as it gets when it comes to factory-sealed breakfast pastries. Pop-Tarts are uniform, sealed, and get the job done. In fact, we partially love Pop-Tarts just because of the guarantee; we get the same treat every time.
Onion Rings
This fast food feast item is often only ordered if there’s money to splurge. Always just a little too expensive for the average fast food meal, onion rings are a total treat. Onion rings always taste like onion rings, too, which means it’s never a surprise. What you see is what you get with this snack.
Mozzarella Sticks
Taking our fast food binge session even bigger is the snack food known as a mozzarella stick. Mozzarella sticks are a delicious food that satisfy even the harshest snack cravings. We know we're almost always in the mood for food that's cheesy. Why not make it even better by adding breadcrumbs and frying it?
Pizza Buns
Want to just pop into the grocery store and grab something quick? If you skipped lunch but need a little something to tide you over until getting home, try the pizza bun. Pizza buns are the next generation of pizza. Handheld, portable, and with all the good stuff securely inside its glorious folds of bread, this is truly proof that new might not be all bad.
Mr. Noodles (dry, crunched up, in the package)
A very specific order, but certainly one that we've loved for years. Mr. Noodles are truly the best when eaten this way, straight out of the package and coated in salt. The specificity of this order makes it truly a special snack. Pick this one and you're one of the unique ones. Pass it and show that you're part of the hot ramen majority.
Tortilla chips and salsa
Another healthy snack, this is something that's still a little exciting for many people. Those that love chips and salsa really love it, while those that don't will avoid it like the plague. To be fair, it is essentially vegetables on chips. They're delicious, but maybe a taste more suited to party night than after school.
Fruit (apples, bananas, etc)
A classic, fruit is certainly at the top of most parents’ lists as favorite snack. Naturally sweet and certainly featuring a lot of variety, there's a flavor of fruit to satisfy every kind of sweet tooth. Tart and sour or sweet and smooth, fruit is almost always going to hit the spot. One could even call it a failsafe!
Bits and Bites
We love our variety when it comes to snacks, which is probably part of the reason bits and bites are so popular. As we just talked about with fruit, there’s enough variety in Bits and Bites to satisfy every type of muncher. This people pleasing snack is the perfect foodstuffs twin to a certain gold robot we know!
Pretzels
For those that don’t want the variety, and instead want to focus on the crunchy, crispy goodness of a nice salty carb, there’s always pretzels. Pretzels are the unsung hero of the snack table. Everybody overlooks them, but have any of them ever tried dipping pretzels in the artichoke and asiago dip? Pretzels will always have your back.
Doritos
The flat friend of Takis (and the dad joke of nachos), Doritos are the confusing snack that many of us will eat, but won’t really invest in. While a bag of chips is easy to inhale, try doing that with Doritos and you’re in for a messy, orange-tinted afternoon. We like Doritos in small doses. But maybe not all day, everyday.
M&Ms
The superior candy coated chocolate, this treat has a similar outer shell to one of our favourite Star Wars fathers. If your trying to decide whether to pick or pass on these tiny treats, consider whether or not your place is belonging to the dark side or to the light. Then let the answer flow through your body and soul.
Vegetables (celery, broccoli, etc)
This is the snack that our parents want us to eat, but not the one we want to put in our mouths. The fact of the matter is that vegetables always feel like we’re playing it safe. They aren’t exciting, they don’t really have a lot of flavors, and they don’t particularly comfort. They’re awkward, but good at their core.
Cheez Whiz
Who doesn’t love a thick slice of bread with a heavy layer of Cheez Whiz? This orange-y yellow spread is a welcome change of pace from the other snack foods we’ve been looking at. This spread is able to be cooked with as well as eaten straight from the jar. Versatile? Absolutely. Good for us? Not so much.
Charcuterie
Finally, we’ve come to the last pick and pass choice. This choice could be the deciding factor for who your Star Wars twin is. For those that don’t know, charcuterie is basically cured meats. Usually people think of a fancy meat and cheese board, and that’s charcuterie. All the trimmings, lots of show, but without a ton of substance. We won’t say which Star Wars character this reminds us of…
