Accoriding to a study done by Dr. Alan Hirsch, MD a researcher at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, http://www.psychoheresy-aware.org/snacks84.html if you want to know the personality of your friends you simply have to see what type of snack food they eat.

The following are the snack food personality profiles:

1) Potato chips: “Potato chip lovers are successful, high achievers who enjoy the rewards and trimmings of their success—both in business and in family life.”

(2) Tortilla chips: “Perfectionists in regards to their own actions and to the community at large, people who crave tortilla chips are humanitarians who are often distressed by the inequities and injustices of society.”

(3) Snack crackers: “Contemplative and thoughtful, people who prefer snack crackers base their decisions on logic rather than emotions.”

(4) Pretzels: “Lively and energetic, pretzel fans seek novelty and thrive in the world of abstract concepts. They often lose interest in mundane, day-to-day routines.”

(5) Cheese curls: “Formal, conscientious and always proper, the cheese curl lover can be described with one word—integrity. They will always maintain moral high ground with their family, work and romantic partners.”

(6) Meat snacks: “Gregarious and social, those who reach for a savory bag of pork rinds or crave beef jerky and other meat snacks are often the life of the party. They are loyal and true friends who can always be trusted.”

So, the next time you are at a social gathering be sure to check out the snack foods that your friends are eating.  It could tell you a lot.

Yes, Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow and that means we are in for at least 6 more weeks of winter. Many would say that if you look at the calendar we have 6 more weeks of winter – why look to a groundhog to tell you that.

Well, he is kind of cute and I’m sure if you were in Punxsutawney, PA this morning you would have been having a good time and probably not to concerned about the cold and snow. So, let’s all just continue to pull on those boots and bundle up against the cold for a little while longer. Because we all know that in July or August we will be wishing it was cooler out.

Personally, I think we have had enough but that is what the world famous predictor says.
