Berry Punny Trivia Quiz

Answer: Kumquat May

Kumquats are small, oval fruits that are very similar to oranges, and are citrus. The flowers of the kumquat are very white, and sometimes the plant grows thorns, but not all the time.

The song "Come What May" was written by Allen Schiller, and the music came from Al Sanchez. In Britain, the song was sung by Lita Roza. The song stayed in the Billboard Top 100 for 13 weeks, but never did any better than #9.

Answer: Pumpkin Up the Party

"Pumpin' Up the Party" was on Hannah Montana's first album, which was self titled. It was the fourth on the track. The song ranked 81 on the US Hot 100.

A pumpkin is a type of squash that resembles a gourd. Pumpkins grow in patches, on vines. The pumpkin is the fruit of choice for Halloweeners. It is used to carve jack-o-lanterns. Jack-o-lanterns were once said to keep evil spirits away, but have now simply become traditional practices.

Answer: Some Peach

"Some Beach" was a song performed by Blake Shelton in 2004. His third number one song, "Some Beach" lasted on the Billboard Hot Country Songs at number one for four weeks! The song was Blake's second single on his album entitled "Blake Shelton's Barn and Grill."

The peach is related to the nectarine and the almond. It technically is not a fruit. The peach, along with the nectarine and almond, is a drupe. The peach is most noted for its fuzzy skin and yellow and red skin. The reason only part of the fruit is red is because it changes red when exposed to the sunlight. The parts that do not get any sunlight remain yellow.

Answer: My Cherry Amour

"My Cherie Amour" is not only a major hit song, it is also the title of the album it was performed on. The song is one of dozens of songs on the "American Idol Encore" game for the PS2, Wii, and others.

Cherries come in many different kinds, the most popular being the bing cherry. A maraschino cherry is not technically a kind of cherry. They are actually a special kind of cherry that has been preserved and sweetened to give the maraschino their distinct flavor.

Answer: Olive Rock and Roll

The song "I Love Rock and Roll" has become one of the most recognizable and popular song of all times. It was redone by Joan Jett with even greater success. Brittany Spears again sang the song, and Weird Al Yankovic made a parody song called "I Love Rocky Road."

Olives first grew in the Dead Sea and in Jordan, and were used to make olive oil. Different types of olive oils include virgin, extra virgin, and light olive oil. Now, olives grow in many more parts of the world, but are still used to make olive oil.

Answer: Pear Necessities

"Bare Necessities" was performed by the bear, Baloo, from "The Jungle Book." He was teaching Mowgli, the young boy, how he lived in the wild. Phil Harris provided the voice of Baloo for the song. The writer of the song was Terry Gilkyson. Many times the song was resung, including by Bowling For Soup for the album "DisneyMania 3."

Pears are related to apples, although they are much softer and easier to eat. The sweet fruit is skinny on the top and gets fatter at the bottom. The fruit is used to describe a body shape, where one gets wide at the hips.

Answer: Apricotabra

"Abracadabra" is a very well known song performed by the Steve Miller Band. It reached number one in 1982 on the Billboard Top 100, and was second only to "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor on the Hot 100. Note that "Abracadabra" is one word, not two.

Apricots look like nectarines, but are related to plums. The apricot, unlike a nectarine, is actually a fruit, not a drupe. It does have a drupe-like pit, however, similar to that of a plum.

Abracadabra is also the most common term used by a magician. The magician uses the word to show that something is changing, and he is altering some object in some way.

Answer: Grape Balls of Fire

"Great Balls of Fire" was first written in 1957 by Otis Blackwell and Jack Hammer. The song was performed by Jerry Lee Lewis, and became one of his greatest works. "Rolling Stone" rated it the 96th greatest song ever.

The grape can be used in many different ways, from pie fillings to jams, from vinegar to extracts, from juice to oil. The most common grape is the green grape, although the green grape is also the most bitter.

Answer: Eight Days a Leek

"Eight Days a Week" was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles. The song was recorded in, you guessed it, Abbey Road. The song lasts 2:43.

Leeks are types of onions similar to scallions, which are also called green onions. Leeks are much larger and fatter than the scallion, however. Leeks are used in several different ways. My favorite way to prepare them is to fry them, just like onions. They are very similar to onion rings but much softer and they pack less of a punch. Plus, they don't make your eyes water near as much as the vidalia onion, scallions, or shallots.

Answer: Corn to Be Wild

"Born to Be Wild" was said to have been the first heavy metal song ever written. Of course, modern heavy metal is much louder and more obnoxious than it was then. The vinyl record by Steppenwolf had two sides, A and B. The A-side was called "Born to Be Wild," and the B-side was called "Everybody's Next One."

Corn, or maize, is technically not a vegetable. It is a food grain, so falls in the category of breads, rices, and pastas. Therefore, although corn, especially sweet corn, is treated as a vegetable, it is a starch, and too much of it will have the same effect as too much bread and pasta! The only difference is... You can't get whole grain corn.
