How you eat gelato is related to your personality!

A little while ago the Associazione Industrie Dolciarie Italiane came out with one article about the way people eat gelato and what it means from a psychological point of view. Just for fun, we wanted to let you know what they came up with!

Do you prefer gelato with cono or coppetta (glass)?

A glass is the choice for those who can’t let go all the way back and enjoy pleasure ( dirty hands or clothes), and by whom must maintain good manners even to himself. The cone is for those who prefer complete sensory experiences without denying anything. The person that eats the cone is usually a type of wishful thinker.

A person who prefers a popsicle (or cone) at first sight is an enterprising person, but at the same time is unsure. This person needs something tangible ,the stick, in fact, to play or just keep it in the mouth.

The also discuss the differences in the way you eat the gelato:

Licking: This is the most frequent thing of eating gelato. This person loves social life, and is willing to participate in really social contexts and loves meeting people. It is the thing of the optimists, in some cases even the ambitious and those who like to provoke those who are around them. They are extroverts.

Sucking: This is more like child licking; the person that eats like has really strong emotional bonds.

Biting: This person tends to be rather carful and cautious in every circumstance of life. A person who doesn’t like to make decisions, hasty, kind and sensitive, and reflective. They are introverts.

Definitely we can have so many meanings to the way we do things, but it is really interesting how in Italy they actually make this kind of research about how people eats gelato. It is more than just information, it's fun! So keep eating your gelato, doesn’t matter how you do it, it is just about enjoying it!
