"Fill Your Plate And We'll Tell You What Your Job Would Have Been In The Medieval Times"
While taking this quiz I got a knight! I picked food such as potato wedges, edamame, chicken, corn on the cob, salmon, and a milkshake. I had some of my other friends take it and when they only chose the healthy options such as salads or not eating anything at all they got princess. I think this is quite a crazy way to categorize them through saying that you are more likely to be a princess if you eat less. My other friend picked the most unhealthy options like pop, chocolate cake, and fried food and they got leader! I guess this might correlate to being a wealthy leader and being able to afford a lot of unhealthy food. I also was able to look at some of the 62 comments. People were sharing their results, someone got jester and another person got a witch. Overall, I think there are only knight, leader, witch, and princess as options. I think this quiz was fun to take and although it was silly I can see it the comments it brought people a lot of joy. I think these types of quizzes are meant to make people laugh and destress. They are not really meant to convey any real information about a person's character. This is why I feel like BuzzFeed quizzes are so successful because they act as an escape from people's everyday stressful decisions. This allows people to sit back and compare "dumb" quiz results with their friend and have a good laugh.
I really enjoyed your blog. I think it is very well organized and has everything needed. Your writing is well written and was enjoyable to read. I agree BuzzFeed quizzes are a way people escape from real life, quizzes like which character would u be, and other quizzes like that help people escape from reality.
