Here are the questions and answers meant for the post WoV challenge number two dinner. However, I forgot to bring the question list and didn't remember all of them.
See if you can notice a common theme.
Members in attendance were Mission, axelwolf, terapined, and rudeboyoi. Mission's wife also played but was ineligible for the prize, as a non-member.
I'd like to congratulate axelwolf who was our winner. It did come down to the question 11 tie-breaker. You don't want to know what Mission's guess was.

The only questions actually asked (the ones I could remember) were 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 11. As I recall, there was a two-way tie with four points between axelwolf and mission.

Question #3 is kind of ambiguous. Ray Kroc founded the McDonald's corporation, but I can understand if someone had answered "Richard and Maurice McDonald" since they're the ones who started the chain.
Fighting BS one post at a time!

Although your answer is correct, I immediately thought of a different answer.Quote: WizardWhich fast food chain is known for making hamburgers with a square patty?
Wendy's
Not only do they have square burgers, but they have square buns.

That's the one I thought of too. Was only two off the tiebreaker. Helped that I did watch the movie once. Any time they asked "would you like to super size that?", he had to do it.

I found the most interesting prop bets personal trivia questions and betting on if someone would know it or not. especially the ones posed to waitresses. I won a large majority of questions posed to me and where someone would know something or not.
I'm Interested in knowing how mission did over all with all of his non nugget prop bets.

I got 7, was surprised Wendy's was in there twice, didn't think of White Castle. It's probably a very good thing for me there aren't more states with In-n-Outs (one of the questions I didn't know). I had never eaten in one until 2009, when I had an extended on-site consult in Sacramento. My hotel was a block from one. I would have to say that for a pure fast-food burger-fries-shake jolt of greasy-crispy-deliciousness with no aftertaste, they cannot be beat.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

6 only, a great score for me actually

For some reason I got all correct and I never
eat in any of those places. It's info gleaned
from TV commercials.

I'm still surprised no one protested this one. My answer was "the McDonald brothers".

This is true. Croc bought the name when he bought the
restaurants. He didn't found anything. Just like Edison
didn't invent the light bulb, he bought the existing patent
and improved on it.

I think each MacDonalds does have a plaque declaring Kroc as the founder, so they're right based on the recalling of the proper propaganda.

I don't know how I knew number 2, I've seen
the Modern Marvels show on fast food too many
times probably. I guessed at #5, I knew it
was a small number. Here's one Wiz knows.
Where was the orig Sambo's restaurant. It
was in Santa Barbara and it's still there, the
only one left. The other 2000 had their name
changed or were sold to Denny's.

I would not have done well - only 4 out of the 10, and if I had been on-site would have only gotten 2 correct. I don't eat a ton of fast food and watch almost no live TV, probably part of it.
I could have sworn "Where's the Beef" was a Beef council ad campaign or something, but that's "Beef, It's What's For Dinner."
