Cherry Season Sparks a Cherry-Themed Pop Quiz on Hashtag Holiday Calendar

Today marks National Corn Fritters Day, celebrating the crispy, golden fried treats made from sweet corn kernels, along with Guinea Pig Appreciation Day and World Snake Day. But the real star of the segment was National Cherry Day, which falls right at the peak of summer cherry harvest season. Turns out cherries are packed with antioxidants and even contain melatonin, making them a natural sleep aid.

That cherry theme carried straight into Pop Quiz, brought to you by One Coachella Valley, with two questions built around the fruit.

  1. 1) Cherry Cherry, known for its catchy hook "Hey she got the way to move me, cherry, cherry baby," was inspired by an early relationship the songwriter had with a significantly older woman. The song became this singer's very first Billboard Top 10 hit. Who sang it?
    A) Jim Croce
    B) Neil Diamond
    C) Roy Orbison

2) Cherry or Sherry, a name that lines up with today's theme, refers to an American actress and comedian best known for her time as a Saturday Night Live cast member from 1995 to 2000. Which recurring SNL character is she best known for?
A) Ariana, the Spartan Cheerleader
B) Enid Strict, the Church Lady
C) August, the Insufferable Substitute Teacher
