What fun!
I can't believe I got "Bloomingdales".
75 percent were instantly recognizable - even KFC. Strange.

Um, did you try filling them in, then pressing "Try"?
It is very easy to misguess a lot of them... :-P

Re: Um, did you try filling them in, then pressing "Try"?
Yes, I get about 7 out of 10 - even things I never used. I've never been NEAR Bloomie's, but I've seen it in movies.
Did you get the MS "T"? :)
Fascinating game.

Aye - very difficult for me.
I could only guess 6 and got 4 of them. Most of them are a complete mystery.

A few were just spelled wrong.
After a few more iterations, I'm up to 13... the rest are hard.

Guess I'm not
10 found. Not all of them recognized "in a flash".
Actually, I consider that a good thing. :)

Anyone know? The "O" sure looks like Coors "Beer" (loose definition of beer).

Re: 16 on the first try...
So, what's the W? Something associated with laundry, cleaning, or shitting...

Completed...
...with the help of a few folks I know on the 'Net. Took about 30 minutes with about 3 or 4 of us working on it.
W is, indeed something to do with laundry. The W is in the middle of the word.

Also done..
...wife and I...I had all but 7 from first pass...then the next 6 with wifes help...they Y had me for a while...and the F was the last to go.
Issue was...they were obvious...especially the Y and N that I didn't get in the first pass...that I spent much time kicking myself for not getting it the first pass.

5 on First Ed., 12 on Second Ed.
No idea why I knew Northwest Airlines though. Must've been in a crash or hijack or something on the news...
Getting 12 on the second ed must show that cultural imperialism is alive and well :) I even saw a PT Cruiser advertising Krispy Kreme in the streets of Sydney the other day. Even though the very thought of cream being crispy is like... ew!
