Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the original meaning of the slang phrase "I should coco"?

Answer: I should say so

"I should coco", alternative spellings co-co or cocoa, was Cockney rhyming slang for "I should say so", dating from the 1930s. [Source: "A Dictionary of Catch Phrases" by Eric Partridge.] In more modern parlance, the meaning has changed slightly, and it is now regarded as being a sarcastic comment.
2. Which of these bands released an album called 'I Should Coco'?

Answer: Chanel

The French fashion designer Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel was born on August 19th 1883 and died on January 10th 1971. She was better known as 'Coco' and it was that name that became used in the marketing of many products which included haute couture, fragrances and jewellery.
4. Of which part of the world was the product we now know as cocoa a native?

Answer: South America

Cocoa was the seed of the cacao tree and was used as the base ingredient for chocolate, as well as for the hot drink known as Cocoa. The cacao tree was well established in the Andes and the Orinoco areas long before the Spanish conquered much of South America.
5. As well as producing chocolate, the tree from which cocoa powder is derived also produces cocaine.

Answer: False

Cocaine comes from the coca plant, as opposed to the cocoa plant (or cacao) which is also native to South America.
6. Cocoa powder was made from the seeds of the cacao tree. These 'seeds' were technically known as beans. What were clusters of beans known as?

Answer: Pods

Each pod contains between 30 and 60 beans. The quality of chocolate depends on cocoa content. The higher the cocoa content, the "richer' the flavour of the finished chocolate. Higher cocoa content means higher prices.
7. The generic name for the cacao tree is from the Greek 'Theobroma Cacao'. What is the English translation?

Answer: Food of the Gods

Cocoa drinks (though not of the kind we know) were used by the various South American peoples for thousands of years. The Mayans, for example, created a ritual beverage that was shared during marriage ceremonies. The Spanish introduced it to Europe. José de Acosta, a Spanish missionary in Peru, described cocoa thus: "It is so much esteemed among the Indians (yea, among the Spaniards), that it is one of the richest and the greatest traffickes of New Spain." [www.worldcocoafoundation.org]
8. It was said that the first 'Coco The Clown' was a Latvian, but the title became a generic name for a type of circus clown. Which type of clown?

The original 'Coco The Clown' was a Latvian called Nicolai Poliakoff (1900 to 1974). He passed the title down through his sons. Technically 'Coco' was, and is, an Augusté, the patsy for the others.
