[QUOTE=Thudlow Boink] If it makes you feel any better, “Pabst Blue Ribbon” was the first P I came up with. But I rejected it in favor an answer I thought would be more popular. Maybe I would have done almost as well sticking with the Pabst. [/QUOTE] I came up with peanut butter first and rejected it in favor of potato chips. sheesh- I couldn’t have thought of pizza or stuck with PB??? ---

Of course, in Scattergories, we’d all get a point just for having an answer. ---
