Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Stump-Up was invented in 1986 by Tokyo Beverages Owner Okawa Bhery. The name for the product was actually proposed by Okawa’s assistant, Fizzy Brewndon. The name was taken from the two most unusual ingredients in the drink, the Canadian banana leaf, and the Asian stump root. The recipe for today’s Stump-Up is very well guarded.
