Hillary Clinton loves jalapenos, Mike Huckabee is a gifted rap artist, and other fun facts about the 2016 candidates

You may know Donald Trump's stance on immigration, but did you know his stance on Adele? People decided to ask some of the 2016 presidential candidates a few personal questions, and while some of the results aren't that surprising — Donald Trump's "guilty pleasure" TV show is the Saturday Night Live episode that he hosted — other candidates revealed a few rather quirky facts.

Who knew, for example, that Chris Christie considers himself a karaoke master? Or that Hillary Clinton snacks on jalapenos on the campaign trail? Below, some of the most interesting and unexpected facts about some of 2016's candidates:

• Donald Trump has lost 15 pounds on the campaign trail. "There's so little time to be eating," the real estate mogul told People. "I never thought it, but speaking is almost a form of exercise. It's very exhilarating... The events are so exciting. When I'm done I don't want to eat."
• Many of the candidates boasted about their musical skills. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio "can sing Lionel Richie and Frank Sinatra songs," former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee calls himself a "gifted rap artist," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he "can really sing," and Carly Fiorina declared that she is "great at composing songs" for her two dogs.
• Candidates consider political TV shows to be guilty pleasures. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz watches Veep, Mike Huckabee enjoys Real Time with Bill Maher, Hillary Clinton gets her diplomatic fix with Madam Secretary, and Carly Fiorina says she needs to catch up on House of Cards.
• Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush eats perhaps the saddest breakfast of all: A banana and a cup of coffee.
