Didn’t get blue but didn’t know one of them and didn’t look it up.

That was easy.
Whelp, today I learned there is something called King Cake.

Blue was leftovers for me.

My first shuffle put KONG and TUT next to each other, and finding the other two wasn’t hard. Kind of surprised that was purple. (Though I am familiar with King Cake - apparently it’s not as well-known as I assumed.)
I probably should have figured out blue, but I drew a blank and didn’t care to spend a lot of brain power on it at the end.

I found this one really hard. First of all, as others have said, I’ve never heard of King Cake. Second, I know very few Eddie Murphy movies so I couldn’t get blue until it was all that was left. In fact, I still don’t know what movies Foley or Akeem are from.
I used to work with a guy who grew up in New Orleans, and thus know King Cake.
But I also am unfamiliar with Eddie Murphy movies. Blue was also my last category.
They are from Beverly Hills Cop and Coming To America (both legitimately good movies well worth your time).
It’s Thursday! And this one posed no problems for me.

Still on Wednesday. Easy but I had to get blue by process of elimination. I had the right category but didn’t know one of them. ETA: oh, and the one I didn’t know, it turns out I did know, just didn’t remember.

Did anyone else notice the red herring today?
MAR, SNICKER, MOUND, WHOPPER
I’m going to guess @Gyrate did.
I did indeed. 
As did I.

Yay, it’s Friday! This was easy, not least because Finlet is a nonsense giveaway word.
Puzzle #824
Thursday. Almost fell for the red herring. So close, but the other categories didn’t make sense.
