TODAY’S QUESTION

Let’s carry the kitchen theme through to a new day: What item that may very well be in your kitchen right now was patented in 1954 and first sold as a way to store pencils?

PREVIOUSLY

That question, again: What food that could be lurking in your fridge right now takes its name (possibly) from the Minorcan city Mahón?

The answer: Rich and Alex both guessed wisely: Mahón is the (probable) inspiration for the sauce known as mayonnaise. (Not Miracle Whip. God only knows where that came from.)

How hard was this? Pfff! Too easy.Got it quickly.Just right.Challenging.Ow! My brain! (1 votes, average: 1.00 out of 5)
