Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which retail chain's Christmas slogan has been, for many years, "Give like Santa, save like Scrooge"?

Answer:Canadian Tire

“圣诞老人”,现在“吝啬鬼”的角色出演whole series of Christmas ads.

2. "It's pronounced ZED, not ZEE, ZED!" This line is from a very popular commercial for which product?

Answer:Beer

The "I AM Canadian" ad was a big hit for Molson's Canadian beer. "I believe in peacekeeping, not policing; diversity, not assimilation, and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal!"

3. In this long-running series of TV commercials, English people are shown using a product. When informed that it is only available in Canada, they murmur, "Only in Canada? Pity." What is the product?

Answer:tea

Red Rose Tea has been using variations on this commercial for many years, since I was a child.

4. This department store chain, formerly a giant in Canadian retailing, was started in Toronto in 1869 with the slogan, "Satisfaction Guaranteed or your Money Refunded".

Answer:Eaton's

Timothy Eaton started his original Toronto store with the then-novel concepts of cash-only sales, and a money-back guarantee. Eaton's began its mail-order division in the 1880's, and the Eaton's catalogue was an important part of life in isolated Canadian homes for most of the twentieth century. Now, however, the catalogue, like Eaton's itself, is no more.

5. "When you eat your (product name) do you eat the red ones last?" What product is being advertised here?

Answer:candy

"Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast? Eat that candy-coated chocolate, but tell me when I ask - when you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last?" Smarties candy (a candy-coated bit of chocolate similar to, but much better than, an M&M) is available in most of the world, but not the US. Actually, I think this ad ran in other parts of the English-speaking world as well, such as the UK and Australia.

6. What brand of beer "smiles along with you"?

Answer:Blue

"When you're smilin', say Labatt's Blue... Bluuuuuuue smiles along with you". Nobody ever said that beer ads had to make sense! This ad was from the seventies.

7. Canada Dry is the "_____________of ginger ales".

Answer:champagne

Canada Dry, is of course, available throughout the world, and this slogan should be pretty well-known, as it's printed on the bottle. Canada Dry ginger ale was invented in Toronto in 1907.

8. Complete the slogan. "You've always got time for _________"

Answer:Tim Hortons

The Tim Horton's chain of doughnut shops started in 1964 (yes, owned by hockey star Tim Horton). Tim's is the ubiquitous Canadian restaurant, especially in the east. They merged with Wendy's hamburger chain in 1995, and at that time started to expand into the US.

9. Kokanee beer uses this mythical (or is it?) creature in its ads.

Answer:Bigfoot

Apparently Sasquatches, like many Canadians, can't get by without their beer.

10. When the Hudson's Bay Company celebrated an important anniversary in 1970, it used a logo which superimposed the year 1970 with the year of the company's founding. What year was that?

Answer:1670

The fur-trading posts of the Hudson's Bay were one of the most important factors in the European settlement of the Canadian west. You can still walk into The Bay in any Canadian city, and buy furs or the distinctive striped blanket. You have to pay cash these days, though; the days of trading for beads and gunpowder are long gone.
