TRIVIA ANSWER

The answer is B) Honey

Honey is an extraordinary food that is known for its incredible longevity. Archaeologists have discovered pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are thousands of years old and still perfectly edible. This remarkable shelf life is primarily due to honey's unique chemical composition and its natural properties.

As long as honey is kept in a sealed container, it will never truly spoil.

Just like honey, which can withstand the tests of time, successful businesses often find ways to adapt and endure challenges. By focusing on quality and maintaining a strong foundation, your business too can thrive long-term.

That’s a wrap!
