I've just found out that Manfred Maus, one of Obi's founders and definitely the one with the best name, bought the rights to use the name from a French hardware store and that it was originally derived from the way French speakers pronounce "hobby".
Not relevant to the quiz in any way, I just thought it was interesting.
To me that sounds as weird of never having heard of a ford, mercedes or audi etc (or Chevrolet if you want more american names, not sure where you are from but im guessing it isnt europe)
Haha, I got 100% with this strategy. I figure... I know food, and I know cars, but I don't know fashion. So if there was anything I didn't know I would always guess "wear." That worked perfectly.
That was exactly my experience, man this is a piece of cake, why do a quiz like this... ow wait what are those this is hard uhoh (and then a ow phew a few more i know haha)
Insert smiley with jaw dropped, i had them all right !!! I knew 10 the other 5 were a guess, though some slightly educated, had an inkling of zapatos and a feeling about obi, it wouldnt be a car anyway. But lada as the second lowest score surprised me. How can people have heard about skoda but not lada. I think i consciously heard about car brands at about 10 (including lada) but didnt hear about skoda untill i was atleast 18
The borscht we all know is, indeed, Ukrainian. But there are many other variations of borscht with origins in Polish and Russian cuisine, which I'm proud of as a Polish person.
I was doing a lot of guessing. However, I know cars and know more or less also food. So, when I didn't hear it before, I chose "Wear". Worked perfectly: 100% :-)

And scored 87%.
