Never tried to get the brass ring, so I had to look that up (those still in existence were typically east coast. I only lived there for two years, so maybe I never rode one that had that). Oh. It's a game you play on the ride. Got it. And you get awarded a prize, typically another ride. Cool. So what sorts of things did you win georgysmom?

Looking at a regular (current day!) map won't give you an answer. For one thing, not all of the 50 states were states then. It might help, or not. I see which one I missing after looking at the colony map. Ah.

crocus. In case you're wondering why I say crocus, it's because it takes so many to get the tiniest amount of saffron. but I was tempted to say wheat. Maybe even corn because corn is in everything. This post was edited by georgysmom on Mon, Apr 14, 14 at 15:39

Well, I would certainly hope an Oklahomian would get that one right! LOL Well, I have a Swedish friend who makes something like that, but I never connected it with the Mississippi Mud Cake so I'll guess Sweden. On the other hand, when I think of chocolate I think of Swiss chocolate so maybe it's Switzerland.
