Typo: "group of nine", rather than "ground of nine" for the SCOTUS question.

I don't think that anchovies really exist. They're just a myth to be joked about, like limburger cheese.

I have to agree with this one. I have literally seen shrimp offered on a pizza before but don't think I have seen anchovy

They're no joke. Growing up, my dad was dejected no one in the family shared his affinity for them on pizza. He also loved liver and onions. He ordered menudo at Mexican restaurants and would laugh with glee when my sister and I refused a bite.

Surprised to see Altria at 35% so far, thought that was more widely known. I guess that probably validates the company's rationale for changing their name.

I don't watch Star Trek, but I know certain quotes from pop culture. Definitely always thought they were saying "set your *lasers* to stun"

Das Quiz ist auf Englisch. Ich sollte glauben, dass Sie einen Witz machen (Sie sagten jedoch nicht, dass das Quiz "too America-centric" sei.). Vielleicht hast du nach einem Deutsch-Quiz gesucht und bist zufällig hierher gekommen. Versuchen Sie: https://www.jetpunk.com/de

I was unironically thinking this quiz was too US-centric because I didn't realize it was US general knowledge until after I finished.
