"If there is one thing I do, time and again, when I'm stressed, it's stuffing my face with food because nothing brings comfort like food. And for me, that food is pasta. If there's a comfort dish I go back to whenever things feel a bit much, it HAS to be pasta. Give it to me in any shape, any sauce, and I will empty that bowl with tears very much involved."
"Talking about pasta got me thinking, every pasta shape is basically a coping mechanism. Some hold it together, some spiral immediately, and some just absorb everything and keep going. So I did what comes easiest to me: I made a quiz out of the tiny, annoying problems that push you over the edge for absolutely no good reason. We've already told you what kind of bread you are, what kind of onion you are,"
During stress, the narrator copes by overeating, especially pasta, finding comfort in any shape or sauce and sometimes crying while eating. Pasta serves as a reliably soothing comfort food that alleviates emotional strain. Various pasta shapes are likened to different coping styles: some remain intact, some spiral apart, and some soak up problems and persist. A quiz was created to map small, irritating situations to corresponding pasta-shape coping responses. The concept builds on prior food-based personality quizzes and aims to reveal which pasta shape matches an individual's stress response.
