ANSWERS – Food Quiz 10

1. Grog, a mixture of rum with water, sugar, and lime juice, was developed in the British navy to prevent scurvy among sailors by providing them with vitamin C.
2. Graham crackers were originally created by Sylvester Graham in the 1830s. They were intended to be a bland food to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges, including masturbation.
3. Vernors Ginger Ale claims to be the first commercially successful soft drink in the United States, created by James Vernor in 1866 in Detroit.
4. Ben & Jerry’s ice cream was named after its founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. The “family” part of their branding was fictional, as the company often named their flavors after imaginative and whimsical characters, creating a fun, family-friendly image. This marketing strategy helped define their brand as playful and community-oriented, with a strong emphasis on social values.
5. Luna Pizza is named after the Italian word for “moon.” The chain chose this name to evoke the traditional image of an Italian night under a moonlit sky, enhancing the cultural connection to authentic Italian cuisine and the romantic imagery associated with Italy and its love for good food and camaraderie.
6. Gregory Sams created the “VegeBurger” in 1982, which was one of the first commercially successful vegetable-based burgers. His creation became popular in health food stores before making its way into mainstream markets. Later, fast food restaurants began to adopt similar concepts, leading to the wide variety of plant-based options available today, including those from companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods.
7. American cheese, often sold as “singles” for sandwiches, became infamous for its plastic-like texture and bright orange color, leading some to mistakenly believe it was made from artificial or synthetic materials. In reality, American cheese is a processed product made from a blend of milk, milk fats, solids, with other fats, and whey protein concentrate. Its smooth, uniform texture and melting properties have made it a staple in classic American dishes like cheeseburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches.
8. Pepsi-Cola was invented by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in 1893 as a digestive aid and energy booster. It was originally called “Brad’s Drink” before being renamed in 1898.
