Damn it! Rule #8 of Feud is do not over-think The Feud! I should have said “thingy” for #10, but didn’t think anyone else would. ---

Woah. I think I whiffed on #7, but I couldn’t think what it was that wasn’t ice cream besides custard. Curse my Wisconsin roots! I shoulda said sherbet. ---

Thingamajig Notes: 1: I think “pop” territory is larger than “soda” territory, though I might get killed by coastal population centers 2: A relatively non-regional term. Even if you call them “hoagies” or “po-boys” or whatever, everyone knows what a “sub” is. 5: I couldn’t understand the question, so I took my best guess at it. 7: I can think of a lot of frozen treats that aren’t ice cream; I hope this is the one intended 9: The one true correct answer is “you’n’s” (pronounced “yinz”), but I’m going for the points. ---
