'Your first pick from the Cadbury Favourites box tells me everything I need to know about you.'

I recently had a heated debate about this very topic with some of my friends — which first pick from the Cadbury Favourites box is the best one. And, no offence, but if your pick is Turkish Delight or Cherry Ripe, get away from me. Just kidding… kind of. 

There is perhaps no greater moment of judgement than when the communal Cadbury Favourites box is opened at a party. The sheer potential and the quiet thud of the tiny chocolates in the bottom of the box.

We've all been there: sizing up our friends, calculating their chocolate-stealing speed and mentally blocking access to the good ones.

But what does your ultimate choice really say about your soul? This is what your first pick tells me about you (according to my completely unqualified, slightly biased, but deeply felt opinions).

Crunchie.

Your vibe: the unpredictable golden child.

The superior choice, let's be honest. You're chaotic, a little messy, and possibly have sticky fingers right now. You live life in the fast lane, and you're not afraid of a bit of drama — as long as it involves a spectacular, golden explosion of honeycomb shrapnel. You get a little spark of joy out of being loud. You probably also believe pineapple belongs on pizza. 

Dairy Milk.

Your vibe: the reliable classic.

Let's be honest, you're the mum friend. 

You are dependable, you always have a spare phone charger, and you make sure everyone got home safely. You don't need the bells and whistles — you just need the comforting, classic hug of smooth milk chocolate. Some might call you "plain," but you prefer "a timeless icon." You're probably wearing beige right now.

Turkish Delight.

Your vibe: all or nothing.

If you pick this, you are telling me you are a high-risk, high-reward kind of person, and that your life is slightly more stressful than it needs to be. It's like eating a rose-scented bath bomb covered in dark chocolate. You are a polarising figure, and you know it. You probably also enjoy challenging others' boundaries. Keep your hands off my Crunchie.

Your vibe: main character energy. 

Oh, you are fun, aren't you? You're the friend who insists on playing 'Never Have I Ever,' even though everyone is over 30. You believe everything should be a party, and that includes your chocolate. Why have one texture when you can have three? You are high-energy, possibly a little exhausting, but we love you anyway.

Caramilk.

Your vibe: the luxe trendsetter.

You are trendy, you know it, and you don't care who judges you. You are the friend who was talking about 'quiet luxury' two years ago. You love a limited-edition drop and will line up for an hour for the newest thing, even if it's just slightly caramel-flavoured white chocolate. You're a little bit 'extra,' and you own it.

Boost.

Your vibe: all business, all chewy.

You're a practical powerhouse. You see the chocolate box as a utility, not a treat. You're getting maximum chew-to-calories ratio, and you need that nougat and biscuit hit to sustain you through whatever arduous task awaits (like, walking from the couch to the kitchen). You're probably wearing activewear right now.

Moro.

Your vibe: the dependable dark horse.

You are the quiet achiever. You probably picked this up when everyone was arguing over the Caramilk. You like a solid, satisfying bite that delivers on texture and flavour without being too flashy. You prefer substance over style. You probably have a very well-organised pantry.

Old Gold Caramel.

Your vibe: old school.

You're not just classic; you're vintage. You appreciate the bitterness of the Old Gold dark chocolate cutting through the gooey, sweet caramel. You're the one who secretly wishes we could go back to the 'good old days.' 

Twirl.

Your vibe: the logical perfectionist.

You are a strategic genius. You know the Twirl is just a deconstructed Flake that won't shatter into a thousand pieces all over your lap. You are detail-oriented and value efficiency. You probably have a five-year plan for your career and a meticulous skin-care routine. You deserve this chocolate. 

Picnic.

Your vibe: a delightful hot mess.

You're a commitment-phobe, but in a fun way. You want a little bit of everything: nougat, wafer, caramel, nuts, and chocolate. You can't make a decision, so you choose the chocolate that is, in itself, a variety box. You are complex, interesting, and possibly a little bit messy to be around. 

Cherry Ripe.

Your vibe: an oxymoron. 

I'm sorry, but who hurt you? You are a walking contradiction. You want the deep, dark bitterness of coconut and the saccharine sweetness of glacé cherries. Your choice is jarring, intense, and tells me you like to stir the pot. This is not the chocolate you eat at a party; it's the one you eat alone while questioning your life choices.
