ANSWERS – Food Quiz 2
- Nutella was originally developed during World War II when cocoa was in short supply. Michele Ferrero used hazelnuts to extend the chocolate supply, creating a paste called Giandujot, which eventually evolved into Nutella.
- Heinz 57 refers to a marketing strategy where the company boasted about having 57 varieties of condiments, though the number 57 was chosen randomly and did not accurately represent the actual number of products at the time.
- Nancy Johnson patented the first practical ice cream maker in 1843, revolutionizing the way ice cream was made and consumed, making it more accessible to the general public.
- John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of Kellogg’s, was inspired to create corn flakes after working at a sanitarium. The diet there prompted him to develop a nutritious and digestible breakfast for the patients.
- Fanta was created during World War II in Germany when the Coca-Cola syrup could no longer be imported due to trade embargoes. The company used available ingredients to create a new product, which was christened Fanta.
- The Mars bar was named after Forrest Mars, the son of the famous candy maker Frank C. Mars. Forrest developed the bar in the 1930s as part of a collaboration with his father, using an innovative recipe that combined nougat, caramel, and chocolate to create a new confectionary sensation that quickly captured the public’s affection.
- The waffle design used in Nike sneakers was inspired by waffles. Bill Bowerman, Nike’s co-founder, experimented with pouring rubber into his wife’s waffle iron, forming the basis for the now-iconic Nike “Waffle” trainer’s sole, designed to provide better traction for athletes.
