Anyone have a good answer for this question?

Off the top of my head, I told him I would probably be Dove Dark Chocolate. I said because its texture is smooth and although it is bitter, its because the bitterness is akin to me not messing around and always ensuring that the job will be complete and to satisfaction. I was gonna say M&Ms but then all the colors would probably have made me sound a little ditzy and a bit indecisive.

What would have been your answer?

When I was first staring out, years ago, I would have probably tried to give an honest answer. Then a bit old, I would probably have just walked out because that's a pretty good indicator of what they'd be like to work for. Now, I'd probably think a minute, then go into something scrumptious and lay it on thick with a mix of Food Network and Oprah pop psychology just to play with the interviewer for a while.

Do companies really still ask foolish questions like this now days?
