As Halloween approaches you are likely already eating a lot of candy, or perhaps stocking up on candy to hand out to the Trick-or-Treaters. As you do this you might find yourself wondering, “what candy am I?” I am here to tell you that you are a person, you are not candy. But I have created an imaginary world in which candy is gay and so are you and now it’s time to play in that world.

At first I was gonna say “Reese’s cup or bust,” but now that I am deemed a Nerd…yeah. That tracks.
Literally same!
Nerds? Perfect description, and I love the little things as well.
Agreed on both counts! I am indeed a nerd!
I’m Skittles!! That tracks. Also this, ‘Wanting everyone to like you even though you don’t like everyone’…straight up attacking me personally. great quiz
I got Nerds…because of course. I’m a nerd, tech head and gamer magnet xD
Yasssss I got kit kat, my favorite candy!
York Peppermint Patties were never my ministry. However, casual sophistication is exactly what I strive for. Why choose between comfort and style? I can have both.
“You’re cool as a cucumber, your aesthetics are on point, you’re casually sophisticated. Nobody knows if they want you or they want to be you. Luckily you can have both.”
lost it at Sporcle being a vice. but I can name all the countries! what do you meeeeaaaaan
SAME being able to name all the countries is like the main thing i have going for me as a person
Me getting kit-kats is not bad because I really like them, but that description is conversely bringing out my loneliness lol
You’re a Nerd.
Accurate, but did I have to get called out that hard? LOL.
Hey,another nerd here—–I’ve found my peeps! Also, I had a cat named “Kitcat” who traveled w/me(she even had an EU pet passport).
I got KitKats which are my favorite, but did you have to make the movie choices so hard? (in my opinion) It was like “Sophie’s Choice” here!
