That FJ was seriously easy. And Coco Chanel was only 3 in 1886!
In hindsight, Final seemed so easy.
Surprised they missed 3 of the 5 words that came directly from the letters in RETURNS. I thought all five were obvious. The last one was tricky, but a 3-letter synonym for regret made it a cinch.
A couple of the links didn’t work for me. “More Clues on Page 2” (this happens sometimes but I can click on the numeral 2 instead) and the two Italian pasta links in the stumpers.
Got 2/3 DDs and can’t believe I missed the Goldfinger one. Saw it when it came out, still my favorite Bond flick. He used his chapeau to maim his boss’s antagonists. (“Chauffeur” threw me off.) MLK church; adjustable weights; vintage wine lyric; pampered eggs; French herbs all nailed. I’m curious to know what the ziti answer was, as I make my own in a Crockpot.
That’s fixed, Howard. My daughter is a big ziti-lover. She makes it the traditional way but I wonder if she’ll want to try it in the crockpot.
I was also surprised at the misses in RETURNS. I think Anne from Friday’s game would have knocked off a lot of the stumpers in this game.
Thank you, I would not have known that answer. My version is meatless and has mozzarella, cottage and parmesan cheeses. Takes maybe 15 minutes to put together and 4 hours in the crock. I got the recipe years ago from our newspaper. The crock liners make for no cleanup.
Thanks, Howard, I told my daughter about it and she said she’d give the crockpot method a try.
Hmmmm…….All I could come up with in FJ was Campbell’s, and I knew that wasn’t going to fly. Actually, I haven’t purchased soda drinks from the stores in years as I make my own carbonated beverages (they all contain table sugar). Consequently, that probably explained why Coca-Cola didn’t readily come to mind. However, one of us did get the FJ.
Has anyone noticed alot of Canadian contestants lately?
And we begin the week with a triple stumper since today’s final was a tough one.
Well, that was so unexpected. I wasn’t surprised at the 2008 triple stumper (see the recap) because they only had the year to go on. But a script C with a flourish is what did it for me.
I bet they’ve seen today’s logo answer way more than the Coco Chanel logo
On the other hand VJ, there aren’t many people who regularly purchase pop anymore so those old soda brands aren’t exactly in vogue. In fact, I rarely see a TV commercial advertising one of those soda brands. In short, they’re simply fading from view, and which might explain why neither of the contestants could come up with the correct response.
