Apparently, I need to study more on the differences between processed pastas and tennis players. This reminds me of my silly Guppies or Puppies quiz--two unlike things compared based on sounding similar!
Somehow, my brain completely blanked on the fact that there was a "Neither" option sitting right there! and insisted on choosing one or the other of them for all questions.
This... may have cost me a few really obvious answers.
Let's ask Algernon. If it hasn't been in his own private pantry, then it's officially not "international" and it's impossible for anyone outside of the US to know about it.
Fun quiz. In retrospect, I'm just glad I got the one about submarine doors right.
McEnroe is great as a commentator, but as a player...I rooted for Bjorn Borg every single time. McEnroe was extraordinarily talented, but he was an insufferable, obnoxious brat.
Whoa! Hold on with this "42% fat content" nonsense. That may be the percent of *calories* from fat, but no way that could be reasonably interpreted as "percentage fat content" in the same way we talk about body fat percentage, which is by weight.
The actual percent of fat *by weight* of prepared Kraft Mac n Cheese is around 6% (varies slightly by variety and how it's prepared, of course). And it's very plausible (maybe even likely) that McEnroe had a higher body fat percentage than that.
being in the 8% of takers who got the milk question right really fired up my superiority complex! too bad I thought it was referring to a different kind of milk..
Absolutely amazing quiz, first few had me a bit bored but ended up laughing at almost everyone after that. Perfection! Did awfully of course but I don't care, which in itself is another sign of topnotchetness
This... may have cost me a few really obvious answers.
Because love means nothing to them.

So I guess the next quiz is going to be "The Bastille . . . or Mac 'n' Cheese?"

I thought they always referred to it as "Kraft Dinner."
Racket Throwin' Raspberry?
Mortal Moron Maroon?
Temper Tantrum Tomato?
