Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these is not typically an ingredient in shortbread?

Answer: Egg

While some shortbread recipes use eggs, the consistency of shortbread tends to be dense enough that it's not a necessity. Often associated with Christmastime, shortbread is a Scottish creation made with sugar, butter, and flour in one, two, and three parts respectively.

The recipe is based on a twice-baked medieval cookie and its popularity has spread throughout the world. In fact, Walker's-- a shortbread company-- was one of the largest exporting companies in Scotland in the 2000s, nearly three hundred years after the recipe was first recorded.
2. "Not the gumdrop buttons!" In what 2001 animated film is a Gingerbread Man a supporting character?

Answer: Shrek

While the Gingerbread Man only appears for a short time in the fairy tale-inspired film "Shrek", his lines are some of the most quotable in the movie and his popularity led to his being featured in the subsequent sequels. In the original film though, Gingerbread Man is interrogated by Lord Farquaad, a man who tries to lock up and exile the denizens of the local fairy tale creatures to better reign over his kingdom.

The torture session, which involves the Gingerbread Man being pulled apart piece by piece, is cut short.
3. In what show's 'The Dinner Party' episode was a fuss made about a particular black-and-white cookie?

Answer: Seinfeld

Airing in the show's fifth season, "The Dinner Party", for a short time, followed Jerry's fascination with the black-and-white cookie which, as he notes, are the perfect blending of colours and surely an exemplar of racial cooperation. Ultimately, the cookie he eats makes him sick.
In the same episode, Jerry and Elaine struggle to purchase the perfect babka for a dinner party while George and Kramer try to buy wine. In the end, the four of them only go to the party just to drop off their gifts; each of the four of them winds up having a miserable time just preparing for the event.
4. Named after a circus, which of these refers to a popular brand of animal cracker?

Answer: Barnum

While animal biscuits have been sold for many years, they grew in popularity in North America in the twentieth century, especially when, in 1902, they started getting mass produced under the Barnum label (because the circus was known for its animals). Since then, one hundred different animal shapes have been made, though fewer than twenty different shapes appear at any given time.

In the U.S., Barnum's Animal Crackers is owned by Nabisco, also known for Oreos, Chips Ahoy, and Ritz Crackers.
5. In eating the body of Christ, many will substitute a thin wafer for bread during what nine-letter Christian rite starting with the letter E?

Answer: Eucharist

Also referred to as Communion, the rite is meant to reflect Jesus Christ's Last Supper, during which he passed wine and bread to his disciples and referred to them as his blood and his body. In modern times, the process is continued, often using unleavened bread or, in many instances, consecrated wafers to substitute for the body of Christ.

This sacramental bread is also referred to as 'the Host', and many denominations believe that, when ingested, it is transubstantiated into Christ proper.
6. Due to concerns of childhood obesity in the United States, Cookie Monster went on record saying that cookies were which of these?

Answer: 'A sometimes food'

Despite Cookie Monster being a bit of a fiend for sweets as far back as the late 1960s, concerns for public health in the late 2000s led Cookie Monster to advocate against constant cookie eating during an appearance on a Martha Stewart TV show, claiming it to be a 'sometimes food'.

The campaign worked, leading to noticeable trends in healthy eating for "Sesame Street" viewers, though Cookie Monster still remained Cookie Monster and would still imbibe in his favourite treat from time to time.
7. The Girl Scouts of the USA are known for their cookie sales, but which has, historically, accounted for their highest volume of sales?

Answer: Thin mints

Girl Scouts of America have used cookies for fundraising efforts since the 1910s, and thin mints were added to their inventory in the 1950s, quickly becoming the most popular cookie in their arsenal. Hundreds of millions of boxes of cookies pass through the Girl Scouts' hands every year, and it's expected that a quarter of those will be thin mints, a traditional take on a grasshopper cookie combining mint and chocolate.
8. Fortune cookies were never originally made in China. What city is said to be where they originated?

Answer: San Francisco

Said to be created in San Francisco at the turn of the twentieth century, fortune cookies, are made with sesame seed oil and vanilla and were actually made by Japanese immigrants despite their being associated with international Chinese food. Although these cookies were all hand-made, manufacturing has led to them being mass-produced, often with slips of paper baked inside, as a novelty.

In reality, while Chinese immigrants may have had a hand in shaping the fortune cookie over the years, the idea of them being a Chinese food is completely incorrect; in China, it's not unbelievable to see them sold as American Chinese Cookies.
9. What Parisian treat, depicted, is typically made with a sweet meringue?

Answer: Macaron

The small macaron is considered a delicate treat. Created in France by the chefs of Catherine de Medici (which she brought from Italy), the cookie is made with a light meringue and filled with a sweet, center layer. While the oldest recipes of this cookie date back more than a thousand years to Venice and surrounding cities, it was popularized by royalty in Paris in the sixteenth century and has since remained a Parisian staple.

There's actually a museum in Montmorillon, France dedicated to the macaron.
10. What addictive online PC game involving cookies and capitalism is known for being an 'idle game'?

Answer: Cookie Clicker

Originally meant to be a tongue-in-cheek take on casual gaming popularized in the 2010s, "Cookie Clicker" is what's known as an 'incremental game'; you start clicking cookies until you buy upgrades that allow you to click cookies faster, and you click on cookies until...well...you die, I guess. Sometimes you click more valuable cookies and sometimes you make it so you earn cookies without even clicking.

There's no real progress to the game, partly due to the never-ending milestones placed in your path the entire time. Ultimately, it's a bit of a critique on capitalism.
