Flavor: Nut
Salty and wonderful, adding a little crunch! Did you know that nuts and seeds are really good for brain power??? That makes the people who enjoy this flavor to be SUPER smart and intimidating.....like architects!

I'm a Nut. You're a Nut. We are all Nuts! Nut, nut, nut, NUT!! Pistachio, Butter Pecan, Almond… Can we all just agree that pistachios are absolutely amazing and have not nearly received as much praise as they are due? Okay, now that we've gotten that out of the way. Those who's faves are from the Nut genre are among my favorite type of person. They usually tend to be inquisitive, delightful, misunderstood, non-conformists. Now why do I say this? There is something called a "nut allergy" (although Jack Donaghy says allergies are all in the mind and overcame a peanut allergy by sheer willpower!) Either way, people tend to freak out, "IS THERE NUTS IN THIS???" They even have gotten them removed from airplanes! It feels as if the Anti Nut Campaign is getting a little out of control. I think all this starts to bleed into the personalities of those who enjoy these little foods. They are inquisitive and relevant because lately every answer to my question of "this is delicious! What is in it?" is ‘Almonds, walnuts, pecans!’ Those who prefer these flavors seem to dabble in many different interests, and tend to be pretty darn good at whatever they are doing. They can be surprising and just what the occasion calls for. They don't feel the need to follow the crowd. They have their own ideas and opinions and stick to them. For that, they might rub some people the wrong way, or itch the back of people's throats the wrong way? (Is that scientifically accurate?)

Flavor: Mixtures
A little bit of that, and pinch of this, a tousle of that other good stuff, oh yea, a little bit more of that candy stuff, and just a smidge more of Whatchamacallit! Hey, whatever happen to Whatchamacallits? And how come spell check doesn't go all crazy about the way you spelled Whatchamacallit? (Mixture people tend to get a little sidetracked.....I am ashamed to admit :( )

Mixtures take a walk on the wild side. Collaborations! Ones that satisfy a palette like a duet from Barbra Streisand and Kanye would. Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies and Cream, Rocky Road, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Moose Tracks....to name a few. For me, Mixtures are where it is at! Give me a bowl that is stuffed with chocolate pieces, fudge swirls, cookie bits, peanut butter chucks, caramel clusters and I am one satisfied lady. Seeing that I fall into this category, it is a little difficult to give a realistic opinion into these personality types, but I shall try. (Commence the tooting of my own horn!) You can find them to be funny, creative, caring, people loving people. They mesh and mix in nicely wherever they seem to find themselves. They like to venture outside of the black and white, instead choosing to operate in the grey in between. They are fantasy dwellers. They have softness to them, but also some sharp and hard edges that show themselves every once in a while. They can only handle solitude for a little while. They play well with others, and prefer it that as opposed to kickin' it solo. I just wanna take a moment to give a shout out to peanut butter. Peanut Butter, I love you! My consumption of you is ridiculously high, and if I ever decide to dedicate my body to science they will find that 72% of me is made up of you! Peanut Butter, you rock my world! Never change! KIT!!

Flavor: Overly Sweet
Ahhhhhh, sugar, sugar dodododotooo, you are my candy girl!!!!! Sugar high! Hey I LOVE those shoes!!! Oh, this is the BEST avocado ever! Look at that blue car! Today is just wonderful, isn't today just wonderful????

Last, but not least, is the flavor that dentist dislike the most I'm sure, the Overly Sweet flavors. Superman, Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum. Otherwise known as the flavors that will stain your lips, tongue, teeth and just about anything else it touches. What a special brand of people they are too, being lively, loud, energized, upbeat mammals. Think Leslie Knope-like (if Whipped Cream & Waffles had it's own ice cream flavor, FORGET ABOUT IT!). These ones tend to speak too fast for you to even catch four words of what they just said. Their octave is usually on the louder side, not necessarily for the attention, but simply because that is what they know and can't seem to function at a lower level. They never seem to be exhausted. They tend to be Optimistic Primes instead of Negatrons. They are the ones you call to go out with if you want to have a good night out on the town without having to do any of the thinking, just mention doing something on a Friday night and they are suggesting three different possibilities and almost screaming about how excited they are! Everyone, in my modest opinion, needs to have a handful of people like these in their lives. They help you going when you've run out of steam. 

I don't know about you but I sure am craving a good frozen treat right about now! Now I hope I didn't freak you out too much that just when you thought that your dessert choice would be one that required no thinking or logic, BOOM! Now you have to think every time you visit your grocer's freezer aisle, or your local Popsicle stand, ‘What is my purchase saying about me? What am I telling the world? ‘Beware, this frozen dairy delight can be a tell-all book that you were not ready to publish. Now, I know you have this sneaky suspicion that you are consistently being judged. Don't worry, YOU ARE! Or not, I don't know. Maybe you just really need that pint of Chunky Monkey because you have had a rough week, and not because you are an upbeat control freak secretly trying to masquerade as an easy going gal. So next time you settle yourself in with a nice bowl of the creamed ice, just think, ‘OH yea! This is me world. Can you dig it’? And then inevitably shout I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!
