Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the world of ice cream cones, what is a "jacket"?

Answer: The covering on the bottom of the cone.

Ice cream must be served with some kind of protector on it so that the server does not touch the customers' food. However, cones can be bought that do not have jackets. These must be served with a tissue or napkin around them.

2. There is a law that a treat that mixes ice cream and candy together must be named after a natural disaster.

Answer: False

There is no law on the naming of ice cream treats. However, with the "Blizzard," "McFlurry," and "Tornado," it seems there may be an unspoken rule among ice cream providers.

3. On the standard ice cream machine, how many handles are there?

Answer: 3

Standard machines carry two flavors. On these machines there is a handle for both flavors and one in the middle for the twist.

4. It is required that all ice cream machines be turned off when the shop closes.

Answer: False

The ice cream machines don't have to be turned completely off; the machines can be put on a mode called standby.

5. Which of these ingredients is in the popular topping called "Cone Crunch"?

Answer: Sprinkles

Cone Crunch is made of sprinkles and dusted peanuts. It is put on top of the ice cream like sprinkles. As it turns cold with the ice cream it gets very crunchy.

6. What is the main liquid ingredient in a shake?

Answer: Milk

A shake must contain all of the following: milk, ice cream, syrup, and flavoring. For all of the players that like thick shakes: a shake is not a shake without the milk!

7. What is a "sprinkle machine"?

Answer: A machine that puts sprinkles on an ice cream cone.

A sprinkle machine is a round structure that has no front. You put the ice cream cone though the open front and the machine rotates around, leaving sprinkles on the cone.

8. The standard ice cream machines are self cleaning.

Answer: False

The ice cream machines have to be cleaned on a regular basis. The outside of the machines is wiped down with an all-purpose cleaner. The inside is cleaned out by dumping buckets of water through the machine and letting it run out the ice cream spout.

9. Which of the following is not an ingredient in a "Drumstick"?

Answer: Pineapple

A Drumstick is made by putting a little hot fudge in the bottom of a sugar cone. Then you swirl the ice cream in the sugar cone, dip it in hardening chocolate dip, and roll it in nuts.

10. Compared to traditional fudge, how would fat-free hot fudge likely turn out?

Answer: Thin and Watery

Fat-free hot fudge is usually darker than regular hot fudge. It is often very thin, and it has the consistency of 2% milk.
