Food and TV go together like peanut butter and jelly. Like macaroni and cheese. Like cookies and milk. So naturally, it would seem that our taste in TV shows would be reflected in our taste in food.
For instance, a study at Penn State says that people with an affinity for spicy foods tend to seek out opportunities that will induce an adrenaline rush, like a horror film or a thrilling television show.
The same study also explains that people who indulge in carbs are on average more cautious and passive than those who venture further out from the base of the food pyramid. They often seek “what’s familiar and comfortable. And once they find it, they like to stick with it.”
What about if you like sweet food? Or salty food? Or sour food? The foods you like say so much about who you are as a person. But what your dietary preferences actually mean is for me to know and you to find out.
So, can we guess your favorite TV show using just information about your taste in food?
