Case in point: the question regarding polio. 1) FDR had it, and 2) Answers like AIDS are silly for that time period.

- Multiple choice has always been my forte, but my mom had an RC sprinkler until I was about ten (and I MADE her throw it away - she'd had a steam iron for three years!) I still love BlackJack gum and wax coke bottles, and my dad was a huge howdy-doody fan. He would, however, be disappointed to know I missed the Studebaker question, as he imparted a lot of classic car knowledge to me as well. . .

I got 9 right. My first car was a 1974 Dodge Dart. It still had the high beam switch on the floor.

What was that other gum they used to sell right next to Blackjack?

Oh I remember- Clove gum!

17 and I am old enough to remember a lot! All I can say is as a girl I never did my hair with Butch wax, never could keep all those singing groups separate, and I'm too old to remember the last one I missed.

BTW my daughter was still buying those coke bottles in the 80s and Blackjack chewing gum is still around.

20 correct: You are older than dirt.

Ah, that was no history lesson, that was life. It did test the old memory, though. And speaking of that memory, a couple of days ago I couldn't find my glasses . . . until I discovered them on top of my head. I think it was the first time I ever put them there.

I'm 28, got 16 correct. As has already been mentioned, just trivia that rarely comes in handy except for a situation such as this.

9/20

Saying no more

 

[wellingtoncats]

I scored 11, a few of them were common knowledge though - like the milk bottle one for instance!

I got 16 right, and I'm only 18 years old!

I'm a total geek! lol
