Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Male person + leave

Answer: mango

Mangoes are in the same family as poison ivy, and handling them can cause skin irritation in some people. That hasn't stopped the mango from becoming one of the most popular tropical fruits of all time.

2. Male cat + perched on - p

Answer: tomato

The world's heaviest recorded tomato weighed 7 pounds and 12 ounces. That's over twice as much as the average human brain.

3. Vehicle + decomposition

Answer: carrot

It's not a myth: if you eat too many carrots, your skin actually can turn orange from the beta-carotene the carrots contain. This unusual but harmless condition is called carotenosis, and it happens most frequently in infants and vegetarians.

4. Atop + charged molecule

Answer: onion

If you're tired of tearing up every time you slice an onion, don't despair: scientists have created a variety of tearless onion by 'turning off' the enzyme that irritates the eyes.

5. Moola + an expression of disgust

Answer: cashew

Have you ever seen a cashew growing on a tree? It has a pulpy orange-yellow 'false' fruit attached to the much smaller shelled fruit which holds the cashew. The false fruit is also edible, but its delicate flesh makes it very difficult to transport so you're unlikely to see it at your local supermarket.

6. High-heeled shoe + relative

Answer: pumpkin

Why do we carve pumpkins on Halloween? The original jack-o'-lanterns came from Great Britain, and were actually hollowed-out turnips which children carried on Hallowmas. When Irish immigrants brought the tradition to North America, it was carried on using pumpkins instead of turnips because pumpkins were more widely available.

7. Wet pulpy mass + living compartment

Answer: mushroom

The cell walls of a mushroom are composed mainly of chitin, which is also found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans.

8. Painter's creation + me + throttle

Answer: artichoke

An artichoke is actually a flower bud of a thistle plant. If it is allowed to bloom it produces a large, spiky-looking purple flower.

9. Sanctimonious jargon + a + jeweler's magnifying glass

Answer: cantaloupe

Question: Why is the girl melon angry with the boy melon?
Answer: Because he says they can't elope. Ba-dum-tish!

Cantaloupe seeds are just as edible and healthy as the flesh, and can be roasted, blended into smoothies, or eaten as is.

10. A species of conifer + Eve's fruit

Answer: pineapple

It's easy to use your store-bought pineapple to grow a new pineapple. Just place the green top in water until it grows roots, then transplant into soil and keep it with your other tropical houseplants. Within two or three years, your plant should start to produce fruit!
