Personality Test -- Southern Style

Personality Test -- Southern Style

You can tell a lot about a person by their sno-ball order.

Maybe it’s not clinically proven, but anyone who has grown up in South Louisiana will tell you: sno-ball flavors are like little horoscopes, and when the temperatures start to hover somewhere between “warm” and “I’m about to have a heatstroke,” the lines start forming at stands across the Northshore.

Whether you choose the same flavor every single time or stand there staring at the board like you’re about to make the biggest decision of your life (and typically end up ordering your usual), it says something. So here is a completely unscientific breakdown of what your sno-ball flavor probably says about you, plus a few Northshore spots worth sweating through your shirt for.

1. Coffee with Sweet Cream

She works full-time, runs the PTA, and hasn’t had a hot coffee in six years. She answers emails while standing in line and reminds her kids they “have ten seconds to pick”. Her whole life is a balancing act between business casual and carpool line, and her calendar looks like a war strategy. She’s the first to organize a fund raiser and the last to leave the neighborhood crawfish boil. She’s equal parts caffeine, grit, and people pleaser.

2. Wedding Cake

She plays pickleball/tennis five mornings a week in a matching set from Lululemon, then heads straight to lunch at Coffee Rani. Loves tradition and a theme party. Has a monogram for everything, including her Christmas cookies. Still refers to her college besties as “the girls” and organizes group trips with spreadsheets. Lives in athleisure, thrives on carpool drama. Calls her dog “my third child.”

3. Tiger Blood

High school heartthrob turned friendly neighborhood dad. Still has a killer spiral throw and can rock a backwards baseball cap. Drives an F150 and backs the boat trailer up on muscle memory. He’s the assistant coach on every team and still tells people he was All-State. Loudly encourages “hustle”. Will definitely say “you want a bite?” then eat 3/4 of yours too.

4. Spearmint

He has a deer stand named after his daughter and a Golden Retriever named Burrow. He’s quiet until you mention hunting or SEC football, and then you won’t get a word in for 45 minutes. He’s in a fishing shirt even in February and speaks fluent tailgate. His house smells like mesquite and achievement. Started smoking meats “as a hobby,” but it’s definitely gotten out of hand. His cooler is a generational heirloom.

5. Butterscotch

He describes himself as “low-key” but owns seven pairs of driving loafers. Always seen in a pressed button-down, even when it’s 103° with 90% humidity. Takes meetings on the golf course. Refers to his wife as “my bride”. He’s on the HOA board and treats it like a Senate seat. Doesn’t eat the sno-ball so much as experiences it like he’s tasting wine in Napa.

7. Blue Raspberry with Nerds

If your kid orders this, he’s running. Always. Even when standing still. He’s shirtless for reasons no one understands. Has dirt on his knees and rocks in each pocket. Sno-ball is 90% syrup and 100% all over his face. Screams “brain freeze!” with pride. He’ll drop it in 3 minutes and still try to eat it off the sidewalk. Favorite sentence: “Watch this.” Parents haven’t known peace since his first birthday party.

8. Pink Lemonade

This tween/teen’s entire identity is built around being effortlessly photogenic and she’s confident she coined the term “sno-ball selfie.” She ordered this flavor because it’s Instagrammable. She’s dramatic, smart, and deeply invested in which teacher “hates me for no reason.” Her phone has 4% battery. She wears hoop earrings and has very specific iced coffee opinions.

9. Coconut Cream with a dash of Pineapple and Vanilla

She refers to herself as “Gigi” or “Lolli”. She babysits the grandkids, but also hosts a book club, tends her garden, and wears matching linen sets. She always smells like Jo Malone and warm cookies, her hair is always blown out and the sun-glasses are designer but not flashy. Her sno-ball order is tropical and classic, just like the beach house she decorates for every season. She’s never not in lipstick and has gorgeous handwriting.

10. Classic Nectar Cream

He’s a porch-sitting, story-telling, semiretired legend. Former local businessman who now dabbles in “a little consulting”. Always has mints and cash in his car. He wears polos tucked into shorts and a gold wedding band that never comes off. Tells every child under 10 they remind him of their daddy “back when he was wild.” His hobbies include fixing things that don’t need fixing and offering unsolicited life advice that turns out to be absolutely correct.
