Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. All you need is chocolate; you might not need love because chocolate can have a similar effect on the brain as being in love.

Answer: True

Chocolate is made from cocoa solids which contain alkaloids such as theobromine and phenethylamine, which have physiological effects on the body. Chocolate has been linked to serotonin (which influences mood) levels in the brain.

2. Who said, wrongly in my opinion, "All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt"?

Answer: Charles M. Schulz

Charles Monroe Schulz (1922-2000) was an American cartoonist, who wrote the comic strip "Peanuts". In my opinion, a little chocolate is not enough.

3. Back to basics now: chocolate's earliest documented use was around 1100 BC. Where in the world was it first used?

Answer: Americas

Chocolate is made from cacao. Cacao was first cultivated in Mexico, Central America and Northern South America.

Answer: Dave Barry

Dave Barry wrote a nationally syndicated humourous column for "The Miami Herald" from 1983 to 2005.

The situation comedy "Dave's World", based on his books "Dave Barry Turns 40" and "Dave Barry's Greatest Hits", was broadcast for four seasons, from 1993 to 1997.

5. From which other language did the word "chocolate" enter the English language?

Answer: Spanish

According to Wikipedia.org, "The word 'chocolate' entered the English language from Spanish". There are several theories regarding how the Spanish got the word, but most assume that it came from the Aztecs.

6. I have always wanted--no, needed--a chocolate fountain machine. Who invented this wonderful item?

Answer: Ben Brisman

Chocolate fountain machines for caterers, based on the original design by Ben Brisman, started to become popular in the early 1990s. A special kind or density of chocolate has to be used so that it flows properly. Machines for home use are also available.

7. When chocolate was first introduced to Europe, it was served as a drink. What was added to make it acceptable to European taste buds?

Answer: Cane sugar

The original drink was a chocolate base flavored with vanilla, chili pepper and other spices that was served cold. In Europe, the chili was removed and sugar was added.

8. Which slender American actress stated, "What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate"?

Answer: Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn was a film, stage and television actress. She was known for her headstrong independence and spirited personality. Her career as a Hollywood leading lady lasted for more than sixty years. Her work crossed a range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, and she received four Academy Awards for Best Actress.

Answer: 5,792.5 kgs

Paul Bell, a Thorntons' employee, came up with the idea after the company asked workers to suggest ideas of how to celebrate. Paul's idea was based on the reverse of a scene in his favourite film as a child, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". In the film, a bar of chocolate was shrunk, but he suggested making the biggest bar of chocolate in the world.

The previous record was held by American confectionery maker World's Finest Chocolate, who had created a bar weighing five-and-a-half tonnes (5,529.29kg).

10. According to scientific research, chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is more good than bad for your health if eaten in moderation.

Answer: True

Some researchers have found that chocolate, when eaten in moderation, can be a blood pressure reducer, anticancer agent, brain stimulator, cough preventer and anti-diarrhoeal agent.
