Which Korean Snack Are You?
Seven little habits. One snack that's you.
A seven-question quiz with eight classic Korean snacks as answers — street-cart favorites, old-school sweets and a drink. Every result tells you where the snack comes from and where to find it.
The eight snacks
- Hotteok호떡Pan-fried pancake with molten brown sugar inside.
- Bungeoppang붕어빵Fish-shaped pastry with sweet red bean.

How does the Korean snack quiz work?
Seven questions (favorite season, texture, a day off, how you act in a group, arguments, mornings and how you choose a snack) each have four answers. Every answer adds 2 points to one snack and 1 point to another; after the seventh question the snack with the most points is yours. The seven letters you picked are stored in the result link, so the same answers always give the same snack.
About 28% of the 16,384 possible answer sets end in a tie, which is broken by a fixed hash of your letters so the result never changes on reload. If all combinations were equally likely, hotteok would be the most common result (about 16%) and bingsu and dalgona the least common (about 11% each). The point table was written by hand by tinyhaha.
The origin notes on each result follow the story most commonly told about that snack; food histories are often passed down rather than recorded, so treat them as approximate. Many of these snacks are seasonal, and street carts may not sell them in summer. The quiz is for fun and saves nothing on a server.
