I’ve never heard of, much less eaten a “maple bar” - I had no idea what the item being described even was, which is why I defaulted to eclair…it was the only rectangular pastry I could think of.

ditto!

Me too – the only vaguly rectangular doughnuts I’ve ever encountered are the twisted ones, so I settled for “maple twist.”

I’m curious: is there a reason why “water fountain” and “drinking fountain” got combined, but “sawing logs” and “sawing wood” did not?

This thread made me go out and eat a maple bar this morning.

Looks at the mistress of the feuds…a top 4 finish…congrats

@Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew

This thread made me go out and eat a maple bar this morning.

It was a tough call, but I grouped based on “fountain.” There was a singleton plain “fountain,” and a singleton “drinking fountain.” I would have grouped “sawing wood” with “logs,” but there were two “wood” answers. Sorting is hard, sometimes, especially with these kinds of answers.
Thanks, notfrommensa!

[gonzomax]

Well Otak and Worm ,we are back where we belong. At least they know we are not cheating.
PS. I am champ of the losers again. …and again and again.
