The Popular Trader Joe's Product You Are Based On Your Zodiac Sign

From the fan-favorite frozen orange chicken to its many innovative vegan offerings, Trader Joe's has made a name for itself by offering one-of-a-kind items developed in its very own test kitchen. There's something for everyone. Even if the parking lots are overwhelmingly small, and even if the paper bags are notorious for breaking, no matter who you are, we all have at least one thing from Trader Joe's that keeps us coming back. Just like your zodiac sign, whatever that item is can say a lot about you.

When it comes to astrology, there are believers and disbelievers. But, there are also those people who fall somewhere in between — those who may not live or die by their daily horoscope, but who use it as a guide, whether that be through life's lows or highs. Not to be confused with astronomy, astrology is based on the understanding of those positions and how they might influence your day, month, year, or lifetime. For many people, their zodiac offers them comforting insight during periods of uncertainty. In the same way, your zodiac sign's associated Trader Joe's item will always be there to comfort you. That is unless it gets discontinued. In this case, I'll be very sorry for your loss.

Aries

Aries are notoriously competitive and can be a bit hot-headed as they often act from a place of emotion — which, for Aries, are more often than not intense. Aries are fearless in the face of conflict, and they're always ready to prove themselves. It's their ambitiousness that makes them natural leaders, and they'd be happy to know that the popular Trader Joe's product they also happen to be the overall No. 1 item on the chain's 14th annual Customer Choice Awards: the Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips.

Made from stone ground corn masa that has been cut, rolled, and fried to form perfectly crunchy scrolls reminiscent of a miniature taquito that's been dusted with hot chili & lime-flavored seasoning, Trader Joe's Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips are about as spicy as an Aries. Apparently, the hot pink bags have been a hot item this year, even in spite of the sadly-received rumors that they had been discontinued. Just like an Aries, the hot chips have proved themselves as a staple item on Trader Joe's shelves.

Taurus

Of all the zodiacs, Taurus is known to be the most chill. They have a way of making any situation feel like it's not that big of a deal — which can be simultaneously comforting and frustrating, depending on the circumstances. Regardless, their nonchalantness means that they can get along with just about anyone. This is why, if Taurus were to be any of the many popular Trader Joe's products, they'd be the Mediterranean Style Hummus.

Creamy, with the perfect balance of lemon, tahini, and garlic, Trader Joe's Mediterranean Style Hummus goes with virtually everything. Whether you put it on a sandwich, dip veggies into it, or use it to top off your salads and bowls, this Trader Joe's hummus is the finishing touch that brings everything together. Topped with fresh pine nuts, parsley, and red bell pepper and whipped to an ideal fluffy yet smooth texture, the Mediterranean Style Hummus is an easy favorite that everybody can get down with.

Gemini

Gemini tends to be a bit controversial. They're often accused of being two-faced, but that's simply not true. Represented by twins, the Gemini is childlike in their curiosity, and they have big social circles. For this reason, they are constantly torn between where, how, and with whom they want to spend their time, and they're always caught wishing they could be in two places at once. For this reason, the Gemini could only be one popular Trader Joe's fan-favorite vegan product: The Korean Beefless Bulgogi.

When put together, the two words, beefless and bulgogi, are controversial in their own right — but something about it just works. A runner-up in Trader Joe's 14th Annual Customer Choice Awards, Trader Joe's Korean Beefless Bulgogi takes a dish that's traditionally made from beef and makes it without any meat at all. Yet, somehow, the texture is surprisingly meat-like. It's a product that isn't afraid to defy the norm, that evokes the curious eater, and that is simultaneously meatless and meat-like, encapsulating everything that makes Geminis such a topic of debate.

Cancer

Sensitive, forgiving, and empathic even to a fault, Cancers are deeply emotional beings. Their personalities are layered, and they can have many moods. Rather than sharing their feelings, Cancers cope with their internal world by seeking out comfort in the external — and what's more comforting when you're feeling low than a serving of ice cream? Not only does Cancer's popular Trader Joe's product represent their layered personalities, but it's also a handy treat to break out of the freezer when you're in need of a little pick-me-up. It's the Hold The Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones.

Another winner in Trader Joe's 14th Annual Customer Choice Awards, the Hold The Cone! Ice Cream Cones are small but mighty. Found in flavors from chocolate chip to coffee and chocolate to vanilla, as well as other seasonal flavors, there's a mini cone for whatever mood Cancers might be feeling on any given day. Each type of ice cream is dipped into a rich, chocolatey coating that provides a nice crunchy layer before getting into the smooth, creamy ice cream inside. That effect only continues when you get down to the traditional sugar cone. Mini and sweet, these cones are the perfect pick-me-up that Cancers need.

Leo

Leos are the golden child of the zodiac and are literally associated with the colors gold, yellow, and orange. Represented by the lion, they are natural-born leaders with personalities to match. Warm, bold, and loving, the Leo is always seeking to impress. Whether it be through the luxuries they enjoy or their accomplishments — Leos aren't shy when it comes to bragging. But not in a selfish way. Leos are as quick to celebrate the accomplishments of their friends as they are their own. Luckily for them, Leos will have one more thing to brag about with their popular Trader Joe's product: The Trader Joe's Hash Browns.

Given their golden status, it's only right that the Leo be Trader Joe's Hashbrowns. Even though it may not have won this year's Customer Choice Awards, it was a close runner-up, and the Leo will surely happily celebrate Aries' for taking the first place pick, Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips. Eerily similar to the iconic McDonald's hash browns, Trader Joe's version comes fully cooked. Also, unlike the ones from McDonald's, they're actually vegan. Whether you fry them up in a skillet or put them in your oven or air fryer, they come off golden and crispy every time. Just remember to salt them while they're still warm.

Virgo

Virgos are incredibly disciplined. They take pride in being productive, and one of their greatest joys in life is creating to-do lists just so that they can cross everything off of them. Their discipline with perfection manifests in their need to keep everything organized, even in times when their internal worlds are anything but. In fact, the Virgos' cool, calm, and collected composure is really just a means of hiding what's really going on inside — just like the Trader Joe's Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings.

Trader Joe's Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings fly off the shelves, or rather, the freezers, so fast that some worried they'd been discontinued. As another runner-up in the chain's latest Customer Choice Awards, it's clear why. The dumplings are inspired by the traditional type of dumplings that originated in the Jiangsu province of China. On the outside, they appear like any other steamed dumpling. But they're actually filled with hot chicken soup. Ready in less than two minutes, they're a perfect snack for the busy Virgo — just remember to eat them carefully so you don't make a mess.

Libra

Libras are walking contradictions — they're extroverted yet introverted and spontaneous yet strategic. It's what causes a lot of their inner turmoil, and they often fear that, by leaning more toward one end of the spectrum of their personalities, they'll inherently end up missing out on meaningful experiences. But, rather than looking to be one or the other, the Libra needs to embrace all sides of its personality. For them, the best way to do that is by escaping monotony. What a Libra really needs in their life is variety, in every sense of the word. This is why the popular Trader Joe's product they'd be is the Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend.

Made from a blend of white and black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic & onion, and sea salt flakes, the Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend from Trader Joe's adds a variety of flavors and textures to all of your favorite foods. Whether it's on your avocado toast, bagels, popcorn, or rice, this seasoning blend is sure to deliver the kind of flavor that the Libra is constantly searching to add to their lives. Whatever you use it with, it is sure to keep things interesting.

Scorpio

The Scorpio is notoriously secretive, making them difficult signs to get to know. Those they do let in shouldn't be surprised to find how charismatic, passionate, and loyal they truly are. It's not uncommon to find them a bit intense, but even so, the mystery is enough to draw anyone in deeper. Scorpios are fearless and are known to be drawn to the darker sides of life. So, it only makes sense that they are Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

Inducted to the Trader Joe's Product Hall of Fame, the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are a consistent fan favorite. Made from rich, dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter, these peanut butter cups elude the same deep, dark, mysteriousness of the Scorpio. The hard, bold, and intense chocolate on the outside is only enhanced by the soft and smooth peanut butter inside. Again, like a Scorpio, getting to know these cups is an exciting experience — only you won't have to worry about being stung.

Sagittarius

Sagittariuses are bold in their endeavors, and they are known to face all of life's changes with a big breadth of optimism. Their positive attitudes are insatiably infectious, inspiring those around them to think bigger. The Sagittarius is overly aspirational, but it's rarely to a fault — as the saying goes, "If you shoot for the moon, you'll land among the stars." They're known as the luckiest sign of the zodiac, and even should things not go to plan, the Sagittarius sees every experience as an opportunity to learn.

The Sagittarius isn't afraid to aim high, even if others might question their abilities. Playing it safe just simply isn't on their radar. Just like the cauliflower, in their minds, they can be anything — whether you mash it, rice it, grill it, or make a gluten-free pizza crust out of it. For this reason, if the Sagittarius were any popular Trader Joe's product, they'd be the Cauliflower Gnocchi. Made by a specialty gnocchi producer in Italy, Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi tastes eerily similar to the traditional potato-based variety.

You can boil them, microwave them, toss them in butter, pesto, pomodoro, cheese; you name it — they won't disappoint. Take them as a delicious reminder that, like you, cauliflower can achieve anything. All you need is a little positive thinking.

Capricorn

Represented by the mountain goat, Capricorns are known for their ability to set goals and achieve them — even in the face of adversity. They are extremely dedicated and will weather storms to get to where and what they want. Capricorns also tend to be workaholics. This, paired with their perfectionist tendencies, often makes them their own biggest critics. They consume themselves with work and goals as a means to soothe their fears of failure. However, I'd argue that the popular Trader Joe's product they are could also help with that.

Not only are the Trader Joe's Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches sandwiched between two perfectly chewy and crunchy chocolate chip cookies, but they're also coated with semi-sweet chocolate chips. But, just like a Capricorn's path to success, Trader Joe's had to go through some trial and error to achieve this Customer Choice Award honoree item. After months and months of tastings, the brand finally got it right. The ice cream-to-cookie ratio, as well as the texture of the cookies themselves, can only be described as all the Capricorn aspires to: perfection.

Aquarius

Aquarius people like to act like they're too cool for school. They tend to be outcasts, but it's important to distinguish that it's by choice. Rather than following the crowd, the Aquarius prefers to evade the norm. In fact, if everyone's doing something, they'll actively choose not to — just because. To them, normal is boring. For this reason, the type of popular Trader Joe's product they are has to be either so odd that it's cool or so good that they can't resist it. Luckily, Trader Joe's has a product that can do both: The Soy Chorizo.

As an item on the chain's Hall of Fame, there's no denying that the Soy Chorizo from Trader Joe's is an all-around favorite. No matter if you're vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian, or you straight-up eat meat — the Soy Chorizo is good enough to win anybody over, even an Aquarius. In fact, the fact it's made from soy rather than pork is just norm-defying enough that the Aquarius might deem it as cool. Perfect in everything from quesadillas to chorizo breakfast tacos, this plant-based alternative is as good, if not better, than the meat-based stuff.

Pisces

Pisces are dreamers — literally. Most of their time is spent fantasizing, which in turn makes them incredibly creative. They love taking the concepts of their imaginations and bringing them to life through their many different artistic pursuits. The Trader Joe's shelves are full of an endless amount of unthinkably creative items, from the pick-flavored popcorn to the ketchup seasoning. However, very few qualify as dream-worthy. For a long time, a frozen Indian meal that rivaled your go-to takeout was a fantasy, and I would've told you to keep dreaming. But, in true Pisces fashion, Trader Joe's frozen Chicken Tikka Masala made those dreams a reality.

As another honoree in Trader Joe's most recent Customer Choice Awards and ranked high in our Trader Joe's Indian foods ranking, the frozen Chicken Tika Masala tastes about as authentic as it gets. The tandoor-cooked chicken chunks are marinated in a mouth-watering, mildly spicy curry made from tomatoes that keeps the texture of the protein perfectly moist, even while it's sitting in your freezer. Paired with fluffy, fragrant cumin-flavored Basmati Rice and some garlic naan, you have yourself a full, heartwarming Indian meal without calling for take-out.
