We Can Guess If You’re a Millennial or Not Based on What Fast Food You Eat

Just in time for the school year to begin (the first day was Monday), I ran out of color quizzes. (We never did get a black quiz, but I believe we hit all the other major colors.) So, it's back to finding other quizzes. Today... 

We Can Guess If You’re a Millennial or Not Based on What Fast Food You Eat

Spoiler alert: they can't. Because I got: 

You're A Millennial!

24% of players got this result!

You are definitely a millennial, born between the years 1981 and 1997.

Uh, no. I remember 1981. I was in fourth/fifth grade. That makes me Gen X. 

So, let's see how badly they mangle your generation. I don't think I have very many Millennial readers, so most of you should not get this result. Let me know in the comments how badly they got your generation (or if they actually guessed correctly). I'm very curious.

The Color Quizzes: What's White?

I bet you thought we were done. Nope, not quite. There is another color we have not hit yet (via Quizly). White. 

What's White?

I got 19 out of 21. A few of these weren't as obvious as you'd think. How did you do? Let me know in the comments.

The Color Quizzes: What's Yellow?

We've just about finished off all the colors (via Quizly quizzes). So, this week's color should be no surprise. We're at yellow. 

What's Yellow?

I got 18 out of 20. I did know quite a few of these (and not as many did I get via process of elimination). 

How well did you do? Let me know in the comments.

The Color Quizzes: What's Orange?

This year my birthday falls on a Friday. Today. Once I knew I was doing color quizzes this summer, I knew which color I was going to post for my birthday. Orange. 

What's Orange?

Whew. I got an 18 out of 18. Of all the colors, this is the one I should know. Alas, some of these I did get via process of elimination. 

(While I don't have an ultimate favorite color, I am quite partial to orange.)

How did you do? Let me know in the comments.

The Color Quizzes: What's Purple?

I could have done these color quizzes (from Quizly) in rainbow order. I could have done them in the order I took them myself. But no. There's no true logic to the order I'm doing these in. If you haven't seen your favorite color, it's coming. Today, we're going with purple. 

What's Purple?

Apparently I don't know my purples. I only got 13 out of 20 on this one. If I knew it, I knew it. But if I didn't know it, I wasn't able to eliminate as many choices as in the other quizzes. 

Good luck. Let me know how you did in the comments.

The Color Quizzes: What's Pink?

When Quizly started showing me their color quizzes, this was one of the first. I'm not sure why they started with pink, but why not? 

What's Pink?

Think you know pink? I got 16 out of 18. Not bad. There were a couple I just did not know. (And there were a couple that were really good guesses.) Good luck. Let me know how you did in the comments.

The Color Quizzes: What's Red?

When Quizly started showing me the color quizzes, I wondered if they were going to hit all of the colors. It took a while (as they'd show me one and then it'd be a couple weeks before I saw the next one), but it got to the point where yeah, they have a quiz for each color. (I haven't seen all of them as of this writing, but I've seen enough to know that they all exist.) 

We should get through most of them this summer. 

Today: red. 

What's Red?

I got 17 out of 18. Again, some of these I knew via process of elimination, and some of these were lucky guesses. (There were a couple I did actually know.) 

How did you do? Let me know in the comments.

The Color Quizzes: What's Blue?

This summer's quizzes have a theme: the colors. Quizly did a series of quizzes with one question. Of the choices, only one is the color of the quiz. Today we're looking at blue. 

What's Blue?

I lucked out with this one and got 20 out of 20. Is blue easier than the other colors? Or were the other choices just more obvious? I knew quite a few of them, but a couple of them were lucky guesses. 

How did you do? Are you an expert on blue? Let me know in the comments.

The Color Quizzes: What's Green?

A funny thing happened over the last few months. The quiz site I currently use, Quizly, did a kind of series of quizzes about color. 'Round about the third color, I thought about making them this summer's quizzes. 

Each quiz has one question 20-ish times. Which of the following choices are in the color of the quiz? This is both easier and harder than you think. In some cases I figured it out through process of elimination. I knew the others weren't, so the last one had to be. In some cases I did know which was the right color. And in the rest of them, I wasn't entirely sure. 

I hope you join me on this journey through the colors. Today we'll start with green. (Why green? Why not green?)

What's Green?

I managed a 19 out of 20. Woo-hoo!

Good luck. Let me know how you did in the comments.

What Fursona Are You?

Now that the school year has officially ended (and I've completed my end-of-year posts), it's time for the summer schedule. On Fridays it's all about the random quizzes. To start this summer, let's look at your fursona. What's a fursona? It's a self-claimed animal persona. 

Why would you take a quiz to determine your fursona? Why not? 

What Fursona Are You?

I got Bookish Rabbit. 

I'm good with the bookish (and there were a lot of references to books and libraries and such in the quiz), but rabbit? Meh. 

So, let me know what you got in the comments. Are you a Bookish Rabbit like me? Or did you get something completely different?

Identify 26 Global Foods

As it is spring break for me, I have saved last week's subbing stories for next week when I'll be back to work. That means this week is summer schedule time. And Fridays are for random quizzes. 

This one is perfect for our little April trek through the alphabet. You'll be given pictures of 26 different dishes, one for each letter of the alphabet. Can you identify each one?

Identify 26 Global Foods from A to Z

I got 20 out of 26, or 77%, which for me is excellent. I am an incredibly picky eater. I don't try a lot of new things, and I don't keep up with new trends. A few of my correct 20 were lucky guesses. 

I bet you can do better. Let me know how you did in the comments. 

Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...

2025 Year in Review Quiz

2026 has started, but you haven't forgotten 2025 yet, have you? (I know we want to memory hole the year as quickly as possible...) 

How Well Do You Remember the Year 2025?

I got 13 out of 18. Not terrible, but not great. In my defense, I do not pay attention to soccer, and some of these pop cultural events totally passed me by. 

Warning, this is a bit U.S. based, so my non-U.S. readers might want to skip this. Let me know how you did in the comments.

What Color Heart Emoji Are You?

It's vacation time, so Fridays are all about the random quizzes. Rather than making you think today, let's see how you feel. 

What Color Heart Emoji Are You?

I got blue. "You are soulful, introspective, and emotionally in tune." I don't know if that's true, but whatever. (They have quizzes where they claim to guess your age based on the questions. They never get the age right.) 

So, what color heart emoji did you get? Let me know in the comments.

Cheese or Dessert

It's the day after Thanksgiving (here in the U.S.), otherwise known as Black Friday. No school for me (so my school experiences from last week will appear next week), so that means summer schedule, and that means quiz. 

This one is fun. Is it a cheese, or is it a dessert? 

Cheese or Dessert

While I knew quite a few of these, I did not know all of them. I got 22 out of 25 or 88%. I made a couple good guesses, and I made a couple not-so-good ones, so that total is higher than what I actually knew. 

Take a shot, and let me know how you did in the comments. Good luck.

Are You a Latte, Bubble Tea, Smoothie, or Espresso?

For my last quiz of the summer... 

Are You a Latte, Bubble Tea, Smoothie, or Espresso?

(School started on Monday. I have a gig. I'll talk about it next week.) 

I got Latte: 

You're calm, comforting, and quietly powerful. People feel at ease around you, and you bring a sense of balance to chaos. You may not shout the loudest, but your energy speaks volumes. Like a latte, you're warm, steady, and low-key luxurious.

Eh, I don't think so. But, there were a lot of things in the quiz that weren't ideal for me to choose, so of course it'd be off. 

Which one did you get? Do you agree with the findings?

Portmanteau Quiz

Now that Quizly gives me daily quizzes, it's much easier for me to find quizzes for Fridays. It's also much easier to navigate than some of the other sites. 

However, it also has a lot of ads. And pop ups. Which isn't so great. 

This week, I'm linking to a quiz on portmanteau. In case you're unfamiliar, a portmanteau is when they combine two other words to give a word with a new meaning. For example, if you take web, as in world wide web, and combine it with log, as in that book that ship's captains write in, and smash them together, you get blog. Yeah, blog is a portmanteau. 

Portmanteau Quiz 

I did rather well on this one, 18 out of 20. I'm happy with that score. 

Let me know how you did in the comments.

Are You a Cookie, Brownie, Macaron, or Cupcake?

Quizly sends me daily quizzes. If I have time that day, I take them. So, when this one popped up... 

Are You a Cookie, Brownie, Macaron, or Cupcake?

...I thought cool. Why not? 

And... 

I didn't get cookie or brownie or macaron or cupcake. I got... donut... Donut? 

Surprise! You're a Donut. You're spontaneous, wild, and bursting with fun. Life's too short to be basic, and you live by that motto. You bring chaos—in the best way possible—and people never know what to expect with you.

Yeah, no. 

Spontaneous? Wild? Bursting with fun? Chaos? Nope. Not me at all. 

I mean, donut is cool. I'm good with donut. But, that interpretation? Wildly wrong. 

But these things aren't meant to actually tell you anything about yourself. They're just things to do. So, let me know in the comments. What did you get? Was the interpretation accurate? Or wildly off, like mine?

General Knowledge Quiz

Quizly now sends me a new quiz every day. Last week this one popped up: 

Can You Pass This Increasingly Difficult General Knowledge Quiz?

When they warn me these things are going to be hard, I believe them. And then, they're not. But that's a good thing. For us.

I got 13 out of 15. I missed the capitals of countries. (Geography is my weak subject, so no surprise there.) The rest weren't as hard as advertised.

Let me know how you did in the comments.

1980s Movies, 3 Clues

It's Friday, and other than my "fun" flight home from Ohio, not much has been going on. So, it's quiz day... 

Can You Name These 1980s Movies With Just 3 Clues?

I was a teen for the majority of the '80s. I saw most of these films. And I have a good memory for movies. So, my 14 out of 15 was kind of expected. (The one I missed is a movie I have never seen.) 

Let me know how you did in the comments. I only taunt low scores for people like me. (For example, if Alex were to do poorly on this. Which he won't. If he tries it.) Everyone else, you did amazing.

How Much Do You Know About Independence Day?

Hey, it's the 4th of July. And it's Friday. So, let me see if I can find a quiz on theme. I'm sure I can... 

(This is one of those U.S.-centric things. Sorry, readers outside of the U.S.) 

How Much Do You Know About Independence Day?

Some of the questions are obvious. Some are more of a challenge. I got 13/15. (One of them I did not know. The other I should have known. Probably. But I got a couple correct that were educated guesses, so it balanced out.) 

If you try it, let me know how you did in the comments. Happy 4th.
