Scoop! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Butter Pecan

While some mint chocolate chip ice creams are white in color, they are often given a green coloring so you know it is mint. Pistachio ice cream has pieces of pistachio in it and is usually green in color, and green tea ice cream is served in Chinese restaurants and is of a very bright green.

It can be very bitter, too, especially if the green tea used to make the ice cream was steeped too long. Butter pecan ice cream is usually a light cream color because of the caramel.

Answer: Rocky Road

Rocky Road ice cream is made with chocolate ice cream, and it contains nuts and marshmallows in it. None of the other listed ice creams contain marshmallows, but S'mores ice cream definitely does!

Answer: Drumstick

Drumstick is a type of Nestlé ice cream that is on a cone and covered in chocolate and sometimes nuts. Drumsticks also have a clump of chocolate at the bottom of the cone; arguably the best part of the drumstick. Drumstick ice cream is a flavor that contains chunks of waffle cone as well as chocolate and nuts in it, so it is like a crushed Drumstick in a bowl.

Answer: Reese's

Reese's is a flavor of ice cream that contains Reese's peanut butter cups in it. The ice cream is peanut butter and chocolate, not caramel. Dulce de Leche is a caramel ice cream, and butter pecan contains a bit of caramel swirls in it. As the name suggests, French salted caramel ice cream is caramel swirled ice cream with chocolate covered salted caramels in it. Truly delicious!

Answer: Leaves

Neapolitan contains chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream. The chocolate flavoring would come from the cacao pod, the vanilla flavoring comes from the vanilla bean, and the strawberry flavor obviously comes from the strawberry fruit. None of the flavors in Neapolitan ice cream come from leaves.

Answer: Thin Mint

Thin Mint ice cream is mint ice cream with chunks of thin mint cookies in it. The cookies become soft because of the ice cream, which is much different from the classic snap of a thin mint. However, the ice cream tastes almost exactly like a fresh thin mint.

Answer: Oreos

Oreo cookies are often used in some brands of cookies and cream ice cream. They crush the cookies into the ice cream, and the cookie part gives the ice cream a chocolaty flavor while the cream inside the Oreo supplies the cream part of "cookies and cream".

Answer: Eggs

Cake batter ice cream is made by mixing regular ice cream with cake batter. Coldstone, an ice cream company, served cake batter ice cream with eggs in it, but later removed the eggs from the flavor because people were getting sick. Since cake batter is uncooked, the eggs were raw, and thus causing salmonella and other sicknesses. Most cake batter ice creams contain no eggs for this very reason.

Answer: Magic Shell

Magic Shell is a brand of syrup that hardens as it hits the ice cream. It hardens when in contact with cold, so NEVER put the Magic Shell in the refrigerator. If you make this mistake, you will learn that the entire bottle hardens; and it cannot be recovered.

Not even microwaving can reverse the effects of refrigeration of the Magic Shell. Magic Shell comes in many flavors, including turtle, Heath, Reese's, and cupcake (much better than it sounds).

Answer: Mango Sorbet

Since the mango is an orange fruit, it gives mango sorbet an orange color. Lemons are yellow, so lemon sherbet would also be yellow. Guava is a pink fruit with a green skin, but since the inside is used, the gelato would become pink. Passionfruit is a yellowish fruit that becomes pinkish or even purplish when it is ripe. Passionfruit frozen yogurt (which is quite tasty, by the way) would thus be pink or purple, and even a dark red, but not orange.
