Final Jeopardy: Food & Drink (4-5-16)

The Final Jeopardy question (4/5/2016) in the category “Food & Drink” was:

This cereal brand that’s been with us since the 1920s teamed up with a brewer in 2015 to create a Hefeweizen.

New champ Udit Banerjea won $21,300 yesterday when he defeated 4x champ Todd Geise. Today he takes on these two players: Toni Johnson, from Charlotte, NC; and Jeff Crosby, from Rochester, NY

Round 1 Categories: All the President’s Children – From the German – Official State Animals – Trans-“Po”-tation – The Beatles… Gear – Indirect Quotes

Udit found the Jeopardy! round Daily Double in “All the President’s Children” under the $1,000 clue on the 14th pick of the round, the last one before the first break. He was in the lead with $3,200, $1,200 more than Jeff in second place. He bet $1,000 and he was RIGHT.

Round 2 Categories: Sutter’s Fort – Tough European Capitals – A Literary Mary – Movie Common Threads – Famous Pairs – The “X” Factor

Jeff found the first Daily Double in “A Literary Mary” under the $1,600 clue on the 10th pick of the round. In the lead with $7,000. He had $400 more than Udit in second place. He bet $3,000 and thought it was Lancelot. That was WRONG.

Mary Stewart’s enchanting Arthurian trilogy starts with “The Crystal Cave”, the saga of this character’s youth. show

Three clues later, Udit found the last Daily Double in “Famous Pairs” under the $800 clue. He was in the lead with $7,800 now, $3,600 more than Toni in second place. He bet $2,000 and he was RIGHT.

In the 1990s, their “Two Thumbs Up” became a registered trademark. show

Udit finished in the lead with $16,200. Jeff was next with $12,000 and Toni was in third place with $7,800.

NONE of the contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.

WHAT IS WHEATIES?

In August 2015, General Mills announced that Wheaties had partnered with Fulton, a craft brewery in Minneapolis, to create a limited-edition Hefeweizen beer named HefeWheaties with one caveat: “Wheaties is not actually in the beer, but there is wheat.”

Fulton Beer is behind such other creative beer names such as “Lonely Blonde” (Pick up a Lonely Blonde) and “Worthy Adversary” (the Beer in Black Pajamas). We don’t see HefeWheaties on their website, but you can probably make your own with this Hefeweizen beer kit.



Toni wrote down General Mills. She lost her $7,700 bet and finished with $100.

Jeff thought it was Grape Nuts. He lost $3,600 and was left with $8,400.

Udit came up with Kelloggs. That cost him $8,000 and the game when he finished with $8,200. Toni let out a big “WHOA!” when she realized that Jeff was the new Jeopardy! champ. Congrats to Jeff!

Would you vote this $1600 Sutter’s Fort clue the Yukky Clue of the Week? That stuff looks like it would break your teeth!

Ship's Bread

Sarah of the Clue Crew: “Since almost everything shipped or stored had to be in barrels, the cooperage where they were made was crucial to Sutter’s enterprises, one of which was baking and exporting the tough flour and water biscuits known as ship’s bread, or this.”

    Even if Udit wagered to win by $1 if Jeff doubled up and got it wrong, the loss still would have been heartbreaking, but on the bright side, upon Jeff’s reaction to winning, he did a Justin Hofstetter move by putting his pointing fingers in the air.

    50/61. A world capitals category two days in a row.

    After seeing an article earlier today, I really wanted to see how Alex pronounced Hefeweizen. As luck would have it, there was a blip on my computer right when he said it. But I still got to see it on the TV recording — and he said it the way the article said NOT to say it. :):)

    I got Podgorica right (and all the others) in Tough State Capitals (big grin)

    • rhonda says:

      That’s awesome, VJ. I never even heard of Podgorica and Valletta before.

      • VJ says:

        I’m not gonna lie, Rhonda — it wasn’t easy to learn those Balkan countries that we first learned as Yugoslavia but I like geography so I kept at it till I got it. Just don’t ask me to pronounce some of them. :):)

      • VJ says:

        Just noticed that it says “Titograd” for Podgorica on that map I just linked to — and they even had a clue about that in 2005: “In 1946 the name of Podgorica was changed to this for Yugoslavia’s leader; it was changed back in 1992”

        • rhonda says:

          I admire your persistence, VJ. Let’s hope the next time Podgorica shows up on Jeopardy in some way, I will remember it!!

        Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic & Canadian Tennis player Milos Raonic are both born in Podgorica (formerly Titograd)
