Rate These Snacks And We’ll Guess Your Age
Lots of things change as we grow up. From the time we start school to the time we graduate, we go through a period of rapid change, where everything from the movies we watch to the fashion we wear alters constantly. We rush home from school to watch different shows, pulling different snacks out of the fridge and changing into different clothes, until, eventually, we've formed the basis of our personality and tastes for life.
While it's not uncommon to keep liking some of our childhood obsessions into adulthood, most of the things we fixate on as kids tend to be left behind as we grow up. This is true of everything from the music we used to listen to to the TV shows we watched, but it is the most true when it comes to food.
Most kids have seriously unsophisticated palettes and live on a horrifying combo of sweets and carbs unless a parent steps in and forces them to eat a vegetable. As we get older, we tend to abandon our addiction to squeezy yoghurts, crackers and cheese sauce and instead start to eat a more varied menu of foods, even if we occasionally indulge in a fizzy drink (and pizza always remains a fast favourite).
That makes ranking a person's snack preferences a great way to judge how old they are, which is exactly what we're doing today. Tell us if you love or hate these common snack foods and we should be able to guess exactly how sophisticated your taste buds are, and in turn how old you are too.

Founded in 2016, Eighties Kids started small. Beginning as a blog posting on 80s and 90s life as well as the movies, music and television of the era, Eighties Kids has in a short space of time exploded in scope and ambition. Operating out of Eighties Kids HQ in sunny Ilkley, in the North of England, today a growing team of writers produces original content day in and day out for one of the best new nostalgia sites on the web.
With the site also growing beyond its original remit, the Eighties Kids team now covers not just trivia from the 80s and 90s, but pop culture of all decades that's of interest to children of the 80s, 90s and beyond. From shocking and obscure fact posts on your favourite movies and bands, to quizzes on classic TV shows and film franchises, to picture galleries on celebrities from past and present, Eighties Kids is here to take you down memory lane, test your knowledge of classic pop culture and maybe even occasionally blow your mind.
Answering a question, correctly or otherwise, will allow you to progress to the next one; just scroll down and you'll see another question light up and become playable. Keep in mind though: all correct and incorrect answers will be tallied for a final score, which will be revealed to you only once you've answered each and every question in the quiz. Play down the page to the end to find out just how knowledgeable you are in your chosen subject.
