YOU’LL be hard pressed to find a Brit who doesn’t like Greggs, but their flaky pastries are more than a tasty treat – they can reveal your whole personality.
Psychologist Jo Hemmings has dug deep into our order history to uncover just what your favourite Greggs snack says about you…
From sausage roll to sweet doughnuts, your snack says more about you than you think[/caption]
Sausage roll
This staple snack is a classic choice, and so are you. You’re a salt of the earth kind of person and know exactly what you want.
Jo says: “You are confident, decisive and proud of being a traditionalist. Loyal and caring, you’re a good friend who is there to support other people when they can’t make the sort of firm and clear decisions that come so easily to you.”

Vegan sausage roll
Being in with the in-crowd is the last thing on this alternative snacker’s mind.
Jo says: “You move with the times, but you’re not prepared to be taken advantage of. Self-assured and living life as healthily as you can, you don’t need to be showy about your choice of food, or go ‘artisan’ -you’re unassuming, modest and kind-hearted.”

Pepperoni pizza slice
Spice up your life – that’s a pepperoni-lover’s motto. You’re an energetic soul who’ll never turn down a good time.
Jo says: “The combo of meat, cheese and bread is a staple in your life. But you also like to shake things up a bit. Spicy and hot is how you like to live, you’re the sociable one and the first to say ‘yes’ to a party invite.”
Steak bake
Friends flock to a steak bake lover when they’re in need of a bear hug. Your thick skin and warm heart makes you the most popular member of the flock.
Jo says: “Warm-hearted and positive in your outlook on life, you’re always on the go. Food needs to fill you up fast and feel satisfying, so you can get on with everything else in life. You’re the leader of the pack and the glue that holds your group together.”

Sausage, bean & cheese melt
Wild and wacky, you live life to the fullest and fill a room with laughter – but your free spirit can make you forgetful.
Jo says: “An eccentric, scatty type, you always have multiple projects on the go. You are fearless in your everyday life and what might feel daunting to other people, feels exciting to you. An eternal optimist, nothing wears you down and you’re a friend everyone depends on to set them back on a happy track.”
Doughnut
A proper sweetie, you sprinkle your love far and wide for anyone who needs it.
Jo says: “Not someone who likes too much of an unexpected surprise, you prefer to know what life holds in store for you and avoid too much change. You have that predictable soft centre and act as a listening ear for friends in need. You’re quietly confident, but if pals can lure you out of your comfort zone, you actually have a good time.”

Yum-yum
There’s a lot of layers to a yum-yum lover and only the closest friends will unwrap you to the core.
Jo says: “You’re a super cuddly, maternal type who everyone leans on in a crisis. A nurturer and a carer, you also have a streak of extroversion and wildness. Only your closest pals know that you’re a party animal underneath that sweet nature of yours.”

Belgian bun
People might think you’re a sickly sweet angel but dig beyond your thick iced exterior and there’s a cheeky devil just waiting to have a good time.
Jo says: “The cherry on top of every good party, you’re the icing who holds together your friends and family and always has nuggets of advice in sticky situations. You can be naughty – fruity even – under that grown up, sophisticated exterior of yours.”
Milk chocolate cookie
You’re far beyond your childhood years but there’s one thing folks know about you: you’ll never grow up.
Jo says: “You’re playful, a little bit naughty and it doesn’t take much to bring out the childish side of you. You like nothing more than to be in your own company, but you’re not a loner. You like to have challenging people around you, as you get easily bored.”
Triple chocolate muffin
Some might say you’re too clingy and share stodgy stories everyone’s heard before. But it’s not all bad news – you’re an unforgettable character who really sticks with people you meet.
Jo says: “Generous with your time and your care, you have a wide circle of friends but only a few are close to you. More is more in your eyes, and you’re attracted to people who are honest and trustworthy. You don’t appreciate people who pretend to be someone they’re not.”
