About This Quiz

If you didn't know, hangry is how someone gets when they're so hungry that it causes them to get angry or cranky. This results in very bad behavior, mood swings, lots of attitudes and in severe cases aggression. The only cure for this ailment is, of course, food, but a drink can cause it to be temporarily abated. 

Now, being hangry, while an annoyance to the victim, can be quite entertaining to those watching. If you've watched any recent Snickers ad, you've seen that people can act like divas when they're hangry; the tagline is always "you're not you when you're hungry, have a Snickers." Because you know that we here at Zoo can be inspired by anything, we've decided to make a quiz based on these fun commercials. Instead of regular celebrities, we're gonna take back a little bit and tell you which '80s movie star you act like when you're not yourself. 

Will you be the vile, evil and a bit demented doll known as Chucky? Will your hunger trigger the wise part of your psyche and turn you into Master Yoda, the legendary Jedi master? Will your hunger cause you to do crazy and ridiculous feats like Indiana Jones? Or will you become a bit of a diva like Claire from The Breakfast Club? Let's get started if you really want to know!
