Calorogus Shark Media Greeting's trivia fans. I'm Mark Ellison, and
today we're playing a spicy word game. Each answer will
be either the word cinnamon, the spice, or a synonym,
a word that means the same thing as another word.
Question one, What spice comes from the bark of a

(00:23):
tree and is commonly used in apple pie and hot chocolate?
Question two? What word means the same thing as happy
and starts with the letter J. Question three? What aromatic

(00:48):
spice is often paired with sugar to make a popular
topping for toast and pastries? Four? What word is a
synonym for enormous? Rhymes with gigantic? Question five? What spice

(01:13):
was once so valuable it was used as currency and
is now a key ingredient in snickerdoodled cookies. We'll be
right back with these flavorful answers after this break. Welcome back,
trivia fans. Let's reveal today's cinnamon and synonym answers. Question one,

the cinnamamum family. When the bark dries it naturally curls

what synonym for happy starts with J? Answer joyful. This

word is a perfect synonym for happy, expressing a feeling
of great pleasure, happiness, and delight. Other synonyms for happy
include glad, cheerful, and elated. Question three, What aromatic spice
pairs with sugar? Answer cinnamon. Cinnamon. Sugar is a beloved
combination used on everything from toast and doughnuts to churros

(02:18):
and coffee drinks. The warm, sweet spice perfectly compliments sugar sweetness.
Question four. What synonym for enormous rhymes with gigantic? Answer titanic.
It doesn't really rhyme, but at least you didn't guess cinnamon.
We would also have accepted huge, massive, or colossal, but

(02:40):
none of these rhyme with gigantic. Question five. What valuable
spice is in snickerdoodles? Answer cinnamon. Historically, cinnamon was indeed
so precious it was sometimes used as currency or given
as gifts to royalty. Today, it's the signature spice that
gives snickerdoodle cookies their distinctive flavor and ero that concludes
