S16 E7 - Quiz Your Fruits and Veggies!

Quiz and Hers

After all the chocolate last week, Justin decided we needed a healthier quiz, so he wrote six trivia questions related to fruits and vegetables! We also chow down on discussions of opera, weird art, and action movies!

3:26: Q1 (Movies & TV): In 2020, the hashtag #AddAVeggieToAMovie trended, and one of the best examples added a “c” to what Bruce Willis movie to turn it into a film about an ill-fated leafy green?

11:03: Q2 (Times & Places): Also a 1980 single by the Boomtown Rats, and an upscale clothing retailer owned by The Gap, what political science term, coined by O. Henry, refers to a nation whose economy depends on the export of a single product?

15:34: Q3 (Music): What Russian composer wrote the satirical opera The Love for Three Oranges, though he is probably better known for a so-called “symphonic fairy tale for children”?

25:52: Q4 (Sports & Games): What NBA team is not named for British term for arugula, but rather for the role that former hometown San Diego played in developing the Atlas missile?

30:54: Q5 (Arts & Literature): His grotesque portrait-still life hybrids, which arranged fruits and vegetables to resemble human faces, were absolutely hanging in your elementary school art teacher’s classroom. Name this post-Renaissance court painter.

35:28: Q6 (Everything Else): The first company to achieve a market capitalization of $1 trillion, what is the largest publicly-traded company that shares its name with a fruit or vegetable?
