We’ve made the decision for you: We’ve matched the best vending machine treat to your zodiac sign. So next time you’re at the office or out and about and the munchies hit, remember this — the answer is written in the stars. Find yours below and get snacking. 

Just like the wavy nature of SunChips, you can ride the wave of change with confidence and ease. In fact, you love a challenge and seeing where life takes you. An energizing snack like SunChips will keep you sustained and nourished as you carry out all of your ambitious goals and fight for causes you believe in. This slightly sweet whole-grain snack also prides itself on being “totally 100% original” — if that statement isn’t you in a nutshell, we don’t know what is. 

A classic candy bar like Snickers hits the sweet spot for your pleasure-seeking personality. With layers of nuts, milk chocolate, caramel, and nougat, you’ll find plenty of indulgence in this nostalgic treat. As a fixed sign of the zodiac, you find comfort in consistency. Given a Snickers bar has been the same recipe since 1930, you always know what you’re in for. People may try to convince you to change up your go-to snack, but we all know you’re stubborn as heck and love to #treatyourself.

You are known for being playful and childlike, and there’s something about Pop-Tarts that reminds you of catching the bus to school and watching Saturday morning cartoons. One part pastry and one part sweet filling, Pop-Tarts are also symbolic of your dual nature. There are also two in the pack, making it double the fun as you go about your busy schedule of activities. Whether you go for strawberry, brown sugar cinnamon, or a newer-found favorite, you can’t go wrong with this beloved childhood snack. 

Dreamy and sensitive, you always have your head in the clouds (or, in this case, the rainbow). Skittles reflect your full spectrum of emotions, as you can be blue one moment then sunny and cheerful the next. Just like this round, chewy candy with a crunchy coating, you tend to have a shell that surrounds you. Once you trust people enough, you’re able to give a true taste of who you are and are loyal to the end. All in all, Skittles reflect your sweet and comforting disposition. You’ll love a sugary surge that brings a smile to your face.

Just like a bag of Cheez-Its, you are fun and zesty, and people light up when they see you. Your presence rarely goes unnoticed, as you add a strong burst of flavor to any group dynamic (making you a fan favorite). You know how to lighten the mood, but also be there for your friends when they need a shoulder to cry on (or a bag of their favorite snack). People may find you a little intimidating at times, but deep down, you love all things that are cheesy and wholesome.

Classic and crisp, you can’t resist the salty crunch of Rold Gold pretzels. As the highly analytical person you are, you appreciate the fine attention to detail of the salt crystals and texture-to-flavor ratio. Just like a good ol’ bag of Rold Golds, you are satisfying and dependable, and people can always count on you to come through when they need you most. You are always going for the (Rold) gold in everything you do, and this snack is the perfect companion for you as you problem-solve and get organized.

You can be in any kind of mood to enjoy a Clif Bar, much like how you appeal to many different types of people. This chewy snack is versatile and helps you feel centered as you navigate your busy social calendar. With protein, fiber, and sugar, it’s the ultimate embodiment of “balance” — something you deeply value. Plus, we all know that you can be quite indecisive when many snack choices are presented. Clif Bars are a safe bet for feeling filled up and satisfied as you chase your heart’s desires. 

Sure, you may come off a little sour, but there’s also an intensity that draws people in. Just like a beloved pack of Sour Patch Kids, you have a way about you that is appealing — and even alluring — to others. And over time, once you trust someone enough, your sweet side starts to show. Above all, a bag of Sour Patch Kids knows how to make a lasting impression, making it the perfect accomplice for all that you set out to do. 

Adventurous and spunky, Planters Trail Mix is the ultimate snack companion for your conquests. You get bored pretty quickly, but there are lots of options in there to keep things interesting (we see you, roasted peanuts, raisins, and M&Ms). The blend of sweet and salty with some crispy crunch is a delightful combination that pleases your hedonistic palate. Next time you jet off to a dreamy destination or take a camping trip to the middle of nowhere, stop at the vending machine for some Planters Trail Mix to keep you fully sustained.

Practical Capricorn fairs well with a hearty choice of snack like Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars. As the driven person you are, a good snack is fuel for achieving all of your goals and dreams. You’ll love the crunchiness of these bars that are available in a wide variety of flavors, including Apple Crisp and Oats ‘N Honey. When you need a mental break, these bars are the perfect perk-up to feel like yourself again. Plus, as the do-gooder you are, you’ll love knowing that this snack wrapper is fully recyclable.

Chex Mix marks the spot for the free-spirited Aquarius. You don’t ever go for the boring choice, which is why you’ll appreciate the variety of pretzels, cereal pieces, and mini breadsticks in this snack. As a true humanitarian, you have a bit of a crunchy side, involving yourself in social causes that give power to the people. Chowing down on some Chex Mix while you participate in community events and rallies will keep you nourished as you see through your vision for a better world.
