Object of the game: Give the most popular answer for each category. Rules: 1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire. 5. Maximum 50 entrants, and I’ll score it when I have time. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: See belowFormatting rules: To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make your post look exactly like this: 8. answer 9. answer 10. answer 11. answer No double spacing, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. Scoring: With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer. Good luck! If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: The last three are no googling allowed!1. What time is a typical Thanksgiving meal served? (To the 1/2 hour - use time format like this - 12:30) 2. Pecan pie, pumpkin pie, or something else? Pick one. 3. How many at the dinner table (including the “kiddie” table)? 4. How many pounds does a typical turkey weigh? (Round to whole pounds, please.) 5. What time do those crazy Black Friday shoppers wake up on Friday? (To the 1/2 hour - use time format like this - 12:30) 6. Green bean casserole - yeah or nay? 7. Other than stuffing/dressing (and green bean casserole!) name a Thanksgiving side dish. 8. Before being harvested and sold, an individual cranberry must bounce how many inches high to make sure it’s not too ripe? (Just use a number, don’t spell it out, and don’t google!) 9. Which balloon was the first balloon in the 1927 Macy’s parade? (Don’t google this one, just guess!) 10. How many pilgrims are believed to have been aboard the Mayflower? (Don’t google this one either.) ---

It won’t bounce too high if it was dropped on grass, nor would it bounce very high if only started 6 inches off the ground. ---

Okay, I bounced one. I was really surprised it actually bounced. 14. I know the real answer! But (ditto ditto “more popular”) It was Felix the cat; I know this because it was on a “test” I just took during Macy’s orientation. 1. I am suspecting a trick. I don’t know the real answer. But here’s a guess. (I hope we didn’t have to round this one.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bonus-feud-its-turkey-time-game-over/561591.md?page=2)
