I was always told as a kid that broccoli was really trees. Yummy! Also, when I was little, I would eat the leaves off the broccoli when my mom and I went through the produce section at grocery stores.

10. Ok, you're almost at the end of this quiz. This one is going to be hard. Some people come through with lots of different vegetables, but I only put one number in. This is because they got the food from this in-store place with the generic product code 1500.

Answer: Salad bar

For the salad bar, we have to put in different tare numbers depending on what container the people put the food in. That way the customer isn't charged for the container.

Hope you had fun taking my quiz.
