Sorry for the late post, my day was full of unforeseeable circumstances that left me with only my phone to connect to the Internet until now.
SECOND ROUND!1 Booze & donuts - 2
2 Explaining inside jokes - 12Unsurprisingly, the meme crushes the donuts and spills the booze.
3 Computer viruses - 84 7-11 - 5
This on the other hand came as a surprise to me. Maybe not everybody has ever had to endure a nasty executable or an empty stomach in a foreign city.
5 The metric system - 146 Cookie clicker - 0
The kilogram aces this one! Seemingly American f:dsers are of the enlightened kind.
But have they realized that they just voted for the dreaded Celsius degree?
7 Poker - 5
8 Peanut Butter - 9With more votes than any other contestant, although aptly spread over the whole bracket, Peanut Butter trumps Poker.
9 Goko Salvager - 1010 Cheese quesadillas - 5
Past glories raise Salvager in the eye of the nostalgic.
Redundancy sinks quesadillas in the eye of the pedantic.
11 Maths - 1112 Candles - 3
Mathematics are eternal and immutable (spelling aside), candles last at best a few days.
13 Yoko Ono - 6
14 Goat meat - 8Goat meat wins this one in a landslide. I suspect the assonance with Goko might have hurt Yoko on this one.
15 Return of the Jedi 1116 Parks and Recreation 3
17 Libraries 1
As old Granpa Anakin always used to say: "if you want to be big in pop culture, make sure to be at least 30 years old. Lightsabers and familiar plot twists also help. Have I mentioned that I'm your grandfather?"
So, surviving to next round:
2 Explaining inside jokes
3 Computer viruses
5 The metric system
8 Peanut Butter
9 Goko Salvager
11 Maths
14 Goat meat
15 Return of the Jedi
Good luck to all the contestants, and thanks to y'all for voting!
