My Fantastic Magic Voyage Trivia Quiz

Answer: Magic beans

The young boy who was supposed to sell his cow traded it for some magic beans instead. The boy's name was Jack, of course, and his story is quite a fairy tale. Although the origin of "Jack and the Beanstalk" is unclear, a fellow named Benjamin Tabart was the first person to have the story put into print way back in 1807. By 1842, Henry Cole had made the tale quite popular in "The Home Treasury" (1842). Joseph Jacobs rewrote the story in "English Fairy Tales" (1890).

In the story, the beans magically grew overnight into a huge stalk that went up into the clouds.

A giant lived there and he had a singing golden harp as well as a hen that laid golden eggs. Being a clever boy, Jack was eventually able to get both the harp and the hen. He defeated the giant and was then able to provide for his family.

Answer: Black Magic

Black Magic chocolates were introduced in 1933 as the first publicly affordable box of chocolates. The first advertisements encouraged sales by directing the market toward men.

The Black Magic box came in only a basic black. Some of the assorted flavors snuggled inside of the chocolates were cherry, caramel, strawberry, orange and more. These chocolates became very popular and saved Rowntree from going out of business.
