What Your Favorite Candy Says About You (Spoiler Alert: Plenty)

The type of candy a person likes does vary, and a new survey conducted by Jelly Belly ahead of National Jelly Bean Day (April 22nd) finds:

• 75% of people say they eat candy once a week.
• 27% admit to eating some sort of candy every day.
• And what candy you enjoy does say a lot about you.
• Sour Candy fans, for example, tend to be extroverted (59%)
• Plus, they are more likely to consider themselves:
  • “Eccentric” (53%)
  • Funny (50%)
  • Sarcastic (51%)

• Meanwhile those who love chocolate are more likely to say they are optimistic (76%), as well as:
  Shy (67%)
• Thoughtful (78%)

• How often you eat candy also says something about your personality.
  Those that eat candy every day are more likely to be night owls (43%) rather than early birds (17%).

 And while sharing your candy is a nice thing to do, not everyone is ready to do so.

• While 42% of people say they are very willing to share their candy with family and friends, 20% would rather keep it to themselves.
• That’s true for twice as many women as men.
