Quaker Life Quiz

I just happened to come across this old box of Life Cereal that has yet to be recycled; Madeleine clearly attempted to answer the trivia questions on the back:



1.) What food do monkeys like that would taste great mixed in with Quaker Life Cereal?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: Bananas

Ding ding ding!  Way to go!  Correct answer!  One down, nine to go.


2.) What are the three flavors of Quaker Life Cereal?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: blank

Although Julia had circled the three correct flavors in the word search to the right (you can see the vertical "cinnamon" in this photo), Madeleine either didn't feel like writing any of the flavors, or simply didn't know the answer.  I actually don't know whether Julia did the word search and wrote the check marks next to each question before or after Madeleine attempted to answer the trivia.  However, even if the word search was done AFTER Madeleine took the quiz, this box does happen to say CINNAMON LIFE on it, so that kinda gives a major hint about one of the three flavors.


3.) What are the four colors in the Quaker Life logo?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: blank

Maybe she just doesn't have the energy for writing answers with more than one word.


4.) Whole _______?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: weat

Close.  Whole grain.  I'll give her half a point.


5.) What shape are Quaker Life Cereal pieces?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: square

Correct!  All right!  We are BACK ON TRACK!  There's hope for Madeleine to squeeze out more than the one correct answer after all.


6.) Quaker Life Cereal is part of a complete _____?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: company?

Or breakfast.  Guess our winning streak is broken already.


7.) What's small, red and can be sliced and enjoyed on Quaker Life Cereal?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: strrberis

No points taken off for incorrect spelling.  I give her one full point for this one!


8.) How many grams of whole grain in Quaker Original Life Cereal?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: blank

I don't blame her for not answering this one.  What kind of question is this?  How many grams in the entire box?  In one square?  In a supposed serving?  Because I can guarantee my kids eat all kinds of variations on the serving size.  Come on, Life Trivia people.  You've gotta be more specific if you expect a person to answer.  Come to think of it, same thing goes with "Whole ____?"  I mean, whole wheat is kind of a perfectly acceptable answer, given that you didn't specify what you were asking about.  How about "Life is made with a combination of whole _____?"  Then I can see "grains" being the answer.  I rescind my half a point for question number four.  I give Madeleine ONE FULL POINT due to Life Trivia Quiz Maker's lack of specificity.


9.) Quaker products are made of ___?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: weat

Again with the wheat.  The correct answer is oats.  But there is technically wheat in many Quaker products, including Life.  So this is kind of another annoyingly vague question.  How about "The one ingredient that all Quaker products have in common is ____?" Who was in charge of making this quiz?  I hope his or her boss is reading this blog post, because Immabout to put him/her out of a JOB! Don't you think I would be way better at writing these questions???  (ANSWER: yes.)


And then the most important, most relevant question about cereal in the whole entire world:

10.) ________ likes it?
MADELEINE'S ANSWER: Mikey

And of course she gets that one right.  Because the fake made-up kid Mikey played by a child actor back when I was young is a really essential factor to knowing about Quaker Life cereal.

That's it.  I call shenanigans on Quaker Life Cereal Quiz Master.  I give Madeleine a full 100% for even attempting to take this so-called sham of a quiz!
