The poster appeared in the school hallway one winter morning, printed in bold letters above neatly arranged pictures of bowls filled with spices, sweets, and fragrant ingredients. “You Must Pick One Flavor: Your Answer Reveals What Kind of Person You Are,” it read. Students paused between classes, studying
cinnamon sticks, peppermint candies, cocoa powder, and bright cranberries. It was meant to be a simple personality quiz for the upcoming winter festival, but it sparked something more. People smiled, pointed, debated their choices, and suddenly a plain hallway felt
warm and lively. Even teachers joined in, laughing as they defended why vanilla suited them better than bold star anise or earthy cedarwood.
