Thread Name: BS: QUIZ: Food Containers.
Subject: BS: QUIZ: Food Containers.
Okay: I haven't put one here for a while, but it's time to con-fuddle you with a quiz again.
Apologies to transpondians if it's a little Brit-centric. (use google if the questions are too obscure).
The questions (and answers) follow my usual idiotsyncracies (did I spell that right?)
As usual: PLEASE DO NOT POST ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD. I will provide all the answers in a later linked thread (the one with answers to lots of quizzes!)
However, feel free to make ambiguous comments about the questions/answers, or to claim scores (out of twenty). I will check and score any responses sent me by PM, and post the results here. including who is first with 20/20, or who does best if it is too difficult.
