Welcome back, kids! I have this sweet batch of prizes for the top scoring student and one of you got a perfect score! Here are the correct answers:
(1) The all-time most popular Girl Scout cookie is the: (a)Chocolate chip (b)Thin mint (c)Do-Si-Do (d)Cutie PaTutie
(2) All of the following use Fair Trade Chocolate except:
(a) Global Exchange (b)Divine (c) Toblerone (d)Dean’s [Alex, you should've stuck with TS's original answer. Cheeseboy's wife helps keep Thin mints popular. I don't know how she keeps that perfect figure. She's hot. Have you seen her? Oh, back to the answers...]

Cadbury apologized and I don't think the lawsuit ever happened.)
(4) True or False: White chocolate contains NO caffeine. Ideally, there is NO caffeine in white chocolate because white chocolate is not made with cocoa. As a few of you ladies astutely pointed out, though, small amounts of caffeine can be found in white chocolate. This is due to cross contamination. So I gave you all credit for this one.

Wow I guessed on quite a few of those! Thanks this was fun! Have an amazing weekend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
A 'b'... It was the geometry that threw me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Joanne.
ReplyDeleteGreat job to the winners! I'll enter the next one, Robyn.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners! This was one hellafun quiz. I'm going to go and get some Ben & Jerry's since I now have a craving thanks to a certain pop quiz. I also find I have a taste for chocolate covered pretzels. ;)
ReplyDeleteI should have guessed it was Naomi Campbell. She's such a shrew.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you wonderful choco-fans. Have a great weekend!

I am consumed by chocolate shame...
ReplyDeleteC+? Well, ain't that the perfect metaphor for my life?
ReplyDeleteChocolate always makes me break out. Well, that's not exactly true.
Make mine Hersheys.
Hey Robyn! Right backatcha, girl; I'm YOUR newest follower!
ReplyDeleteNow, where did I stash those darn M&Ms? I suddenly have an inexplicable craving for chocolate!
And I guessed on most of them. You know I never did get that cake you supposedly sent in the mail. I should get one for my A-.
ReplyDeleteAlex, it happens to the best of us.
ReplyDeleteAl, C is for chocolate. Plus is for...? Additives in the chocolate? I got nothin'.
Thanks Nancy! Regarding the inexplicable cravings, see my comment to Alex.
PTM, you're right. I'll start another chocolate cake right now. Be patient. And just keep being patient.
xoRobyn
Ha ha ha....I didn't get my "F" again?!! What gives? You're grading on a curve, aren't ya!?!!
ReplyDeleteMarlene, of course I am. You were one of a handful of brave souls who dared to take the test. But dagnabit, you're a smart lady too!

Congrats to the winners! I would have tried to answer more questions had the prize been a trip to Hershey, PA! Oh well, maybe next year! Julie
ReplyDeleteAt least I didn't fail! (only because I didn't take it). I'm reduced to commenting in bunches these days, so I miss some things.
ReplyDeleteI read the answer to #4 a few months ago and was intrigued by it. I just wasn't sure if you were trying to have it be a trick question or not. :) And I would have been really worried if thin mints weren't the most popular!!
