"Cotton Candy" is known as "Fairy Floss" in Australia - which consequently would also make it an alliterative answer.

It is what it is, generally people think of the tower with the big clock as 'Big Ben'...... stop a hundred people in the street and show them a picture of it and ask 'what is the name of this?' and see how many say "Elizabeth Tower" or "St. Stephen's Tower" It is only the pedantic whingers that can't realise that fact.

The Minnesota Vikings aren't alliterative so no that doesn't work. For those of you who still haven't noticed, every answer has each word starting with the same letter ex. B ig B en with a B. P ink P anther with a P. That's what alliterative means. On that note you could make an arguement that CCR doesn't belong due to the Revival part of their name. Great quiz overall though.

Plenty of whinging here. The quiz is fine as it is. CCR contains an example of alliteration. The Big Ben/ Great Bell/ Elizabeth Tower distinction is a misconception favored by the sort of pedantic chap who loves nothing more than beginning a sentence by saying "Aaaaaactually... " The rest of the detractors don't seem to know what alliteration means. Except the Fairy Floss guy. That's my something learned for today.

Someone may have pointed this out already, but I believe alliteration only refers to repeated consonant letters at the beginning of words (I googled it to verify and every definition I found referenced only repeated consonants at the beginning of words). So electric eel and alcoholics anonymous are not technically alliterative.

The correct term for repeated vowel sounds is assonance, though the vowel sounds don't necessarily have to be at the beginning of the word.

Yes that would be assonance, I remember my English teacher drilling that into my skull. But I suppose the 'l' sound in Electric Eel can count as alliteration. Or even the s in Alcoholics Anonymous, at the ends of the two words. Though I'm pretty sure the author meant the assonance of the first vowel letters.

Time to boringly repeat what’s been said before:

Big Ben is a bell (why not just rephrase the question?)

Cold Cuts consist of 100% cold meat (very nice served with accompanying cheese and salad)

Eels are fish, not reptiles (honestly, where do you get serpent from?)

While the Foo Fighters are certainly not soft-rockers, neither would anyone who knows their music refer to them as a hard-rock band (just delete the word “hard”?)

Finally, most people think alliteration is simply a repetition of initial letters. As the quiz setter points out in the description, this is not actually the case. However, several questions then follow which don’t fit the true definition as given previously eg. Creedence Clearwater, and electric eel, so I’m none the wiser as to which is being applied here…
