"Welcome to Facts of Fortune, the trivia game show that tests peoples' knowledge of fruit! I am Phillip, the host of Facts of Fortune. Today's topic is cherries! Our contestants today are Bob, the world-record holder for longest time spent on a couch! Second, Fred, the owner of a vineyard! Last, but not least, Sophie, a famous singer! For the first round, the questions will be based upon popularity facts! Bob, you're first! What is the most popular kind of cherry?"

"Duh...pie?" Bob said stupidly, pulling out a bag of potato chips.

"Wrong answer! The answer is Bing cherries because of their crisp and juicy taste! Sophie, name the four basic types of cherries, with no genetic engineering!" the host yelled into the microphone.

"Like, how should I know!" Sophie said in a high-pitched voice.

"Nope! The answer is Bing, Rainier, Lambert, and Van!" a loud ringing sound interrupted Phillip. "Time's up! No points for anyone! Next round will be based upon how they are grown...Fred, once planted, how long will it take to grow into full production?" asked Phillip.

"Around four to six years!" said Fred in a deep voice.

"Correct! You have ten points! Bob, what season are cherries harvested?" Phillip said.

"Tuesday?" Bob said, spewing potato chips everywhere.

"No! The answer is late spring, through late June and July. That was easy! Sophie, what must an orchardist do to maintain a healthy orchard?" Phillip questioned.

"Like, nobody cares, so, like, I don't!" said Sophie.

"Wrong! The answer is to regularly prune, fertilize, control weeds, bugs, and disease! Fred leads and it is the end of this round! The final round will be based on what happens after they leave the farm, and then a bonus round will commence! Fred, what temperature are cherries best kept at before they are shipped?" Phillip asked excitedly.

"Somewhere around 1 to 2 degrees Celsius." Stated Fred calmly.

"Correct! Wow, Fred leads with 20 points. Bob, stop eating those chips, because it's your turn. How soon should cherries be shipped to the market?" Phillip said.

"Three years and uh... Tuesday?" said Bob, spewing chips everywhere...again!"

"Wow! Close your mouth! Sick! Anyway, that's wrong. 24 to 48 hours after harvest. Euughh! Sophie, are cherries packaged at the orchard?" inquired Phillip.

"How should I know? You gave Fred the easy questions! I quit! WAAAHHH!" screamed Sophie, stomping off into the crowd crying.

"Wow...she was mad! Well, in case anybody wants to know, the answer is no. Only two people remain. Bonus round! This question is worth 20 points. Bob, this means you can catch up. Here is the question...Write down as many products as you can that cherries are put into." Phillip said.

Several minutes later Phillip read off the lists.

"Bob, you have pie filling, candy, and ice cream. That's three. Fred, you have pie filling, ice cream, candy, yogurts, jellies, jams, sauces, stewed fruit and fruit drinks. You win this fabulous prize!" said the host. A loud voice boomed.

"You win a trip to Japan! How will you get there? With your new private jet! All costs paid!" The host started immediately after voice went away.
