An Aunt By Any Other Name Trivia Quiz

Answer: Aunt Jemima

Aunt Jemima was trademarked in 1893, but not by Quaker Oats until 1937. Aunt Jemima also sells syrups and other breakfast related items. Though Aunt Jemima is only a character, and not a real person, she received the key to the city of Albion, Michigan in 1964. An actress portrayed the character to accept the key and attend fundraisers.

Answer: Beru

According to the "Star Wars" universe, Anakin Skywalker's mother was Shmi. She married a man by the name of Cliegg Lars. This made Cliegg Anakin's stepfather. Cliegg had a son named Owen, who ended up marrying Beru. Anakin Skywalker then married Padme.

She died shortly after giving birth when Anakin used the force to choke her. Luke was shipped off to Owen and Beru, who were Luke's step aunt and uncle (Luke's grandmother, Shmi Skywalker, became a Lars when she married Cliegg).

Answer: Sally

The orders of operations can be remembered by using the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally", which is a mnemonic device to remember "PEMDAS". PEMDAS, then, stands for something else. When solving a long, complicated math problem, remembering PEMDAS allows you to know which order to solve it in (it's not left to right, there is an order). First, solve what is in the parentheses. Then, solve the exponents. Next comes the multiplication and division. Finally, add and subtract what is left.

Answer: Auntie Anne's

Auntie Anne's was founded in 1988 by Anne Beiler and her husband, Jonas. The chain, found all across the United States as well as many other countries, serves soft-baked pretzels with various dipping sauces. They can also be purchased in the frozen section of many grocery stores, and, though delicious when heated, are not quite the same as the fresh baked pretzels at an actual Auntie Anne's location.

Answer: Dorothy

You perhaps recognize Dorothy and Aunt Em from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". The book was first published in 1900, and was written by L. Frank Baum. It became a film, starring Judy Garland as Dorothy (and Clara Blandick as Aunt Em) in 1939.

Wendy is from "Peter Pan", Alice is from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", and Lucy is from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". All feature a girl finding herself in a whole new world, but none of them lived with an aunt.

Answer: Aunt May

Aunt May (or Mae) first appeared in 1962 in "Amazing Fantasy" number 15. She was portrayed as an older woman until Sally Field played her in 2012's "The Amazing Spider-Man". Aunt May had never been portrayed as being that young (though she did a terrific job, in my opinion). Aunt May became a caretaker of Peter's when his parents left him there to go work on an unknown project. They both passed, as did Peter Parker's uncle, Ben. That left just Aunt May as Parker's main caretaker.

NOTE: There are many differences in different Spiderman comics and other media. This particular story was taken from "The Amazing Spider-Man" film of 2012.

Answer: Aunt Agatha

Aunt Agatha Gregson (who would later be Lady Worplesdon) was Bertie Wooster's least favorite aunt. Aunt Agatha first appeared in Wodehouse's "Extricating Young Gussie", which was published in 1915. It appeared in his collection of stories "The Man With Two Left Feet", published in 1917.

Answer: Agony Aunt

Many newspapers contain an advice column, and, for this to exist, there obviously needs to be an advice columnist. In colloquial British English, a female advice columnist is known as an agony aunt, and, if the columnist is a male, an agony uncle. The term is, however, slowly falling into disuse.

Answer: Aunt Arctic

Aunt Arctic is a fictional advice columnist who writes in the "Club Penguin" newspaper. The newspaper tells players of the MMORPG (massively multi-player online roll-playing game) of any upcoming events and other important news. Aunt Arctic is a character who players can write to asking questions (usually about the game itself). Editors in the game filter through these questions and choose some to feature in Aunt Arctic's articles. "Club Penguin" was first released in 2005.

Answer: Aunt Rose

"Aunt Rose" was a horror film released in 2005; produced and written by Joshua Nelson (who also acts in the film) and directed by James Tucker. The film is centered around a teenage girl named Toni, who is portrayed by Raine Brown.
