The science has been cancelled
Your snack choice does not reliably reveal your dating style. For a playful date game, you can invent snack personalities together, compare what you actually like and score the snacks rather than each other. The printable scorecard below records your opinions with entirely undeserved authority.
This builds on the snack-ranking date. Buy a few things within a shared budget, check ingredients and dietary needs, and let everyone choose their own portion. The following classifications are fictional. Do not make life decisions about someone because they brought a wafer.
Five candidates for the biscuit cabinet
The ready-salted crisp: Director of Quite Nice
Knows what they like. Has probably checked whether the café has chairs. Our imaginary analysis calls this reliable; reality calls it wanting a crisp. Ask what would make their perfect low-key afternoon.
The sour sweet: Minister for Minor Surprises
Would like the evening to contain an event, ideally one that briefly rearranges their face. A useful question: what tiny thing delighted you recently? The answer need not involve acid.
The chocolate biscuit: Head of Structural Integrity
Believes pleasure needs a supporting beam. May have strong opinions about dunking. Ask which ordinary thing they would improve with a wildly unnecessary upgrade. Do not dunk without consulting the person who owns the tea.
The mixed bag: Chair of Keeping Options Open
Has brought a committee. Every handful is a new motion. Ask which three things they would put in a personal lucky dip. Sharing the bag is an invitation, not a requirement.
The snack they have never tried: Temporary Explorer
Has agreed to a small mystery with a readable ingredients label. Ask what they would try if being bad at it was part of the ticket. Remember that choosing a familiar snack is also a perfectly sound expedition.

THE OFFICIAL SNACK EXAMINATION BOARD
Entirely unscientific. No qualifications awarded.
Date: __________________ Judges: __________________
Score each category from 1 (a concern) to 5 (would defend in a meeting). Rate the snack, never the person.

| 2. __________ | ___ / 5 | ___ / 5 | ___ / 5 | Yes / No |
| 3. __________ | ___ / 5 | ___ / 5 | ___ / 5 | Yes / No |
Most unnecessary confidence: __________________________________
Best surprise: ______________________________________________
The one we respectfully disagree about: ________________________
Final verdict, in seven words or fewer:
__________________________________________________________
Board rules: ties allowed; sharing optional; the conversation may overrule the form.

Let the evidence remain extremely small
Different scores are a conversation, not a compatibility warning. Ask “What did you like about that?” rather than “How can you possibly think that?” One opens a story. The other starts a parliamentary inquiry into corn.
If the form stops being funny, stop filling it in. You can learn more from listening to someone explain a modest preference than from awarding them a personality based on a triangle of cheese dust.
