Another Tuesday night of brilliance at one of Portland's newest Trivia locations...THE THIRSTY LION - DOWNTOWN! THE place to be for the best Trivia night in town! The questions were all over the place tonight. Enough easy socials that Dice was feeling warm from all the toasts, a few difficult anti-socials that had everyone scratching their heads, and a halftime that can just go back to the island it came from!
TRIVIA: Picking just one bit of interesting trivia from tonight's show wasn't easy, but the Dorsa brothers introduction of Froffles to grocery stores across the country in 1953 was most intriguing. As the self-proclaimed "King of Breakfast," Dice doesn't think much of the frozen waffle, but it is amazing that as recently as 2009, Kellogg's Eggo brand carried a 73% market share over their competition. Dice's waffle recipe is a family secret, but Alton Brown's Good Eats version is a suitable substitute!
TEAMS: Playing a nearly perfectly wagered game, THE MIGHTY DORKS (77) capitalized on a perfectly-suited final round to dive across the goal line first. YOUR MOTHER IS A COUNTRY (68) grows more powerful by the week. Newcomers GRILLED SALMON CAKES (41) were surprised to be taking home a gift certificate after a big gamble on the final round left BITCH THOTZ! (37) on the outside looking in.
TUNES: Mashups featuring Adele vs. Daft Punk and Idina Menzel vs. Coldplay made some teams question their answers. The video for Michael Damian's "Rock On" featured both Coreys, even though we were only looking for Haim. They Might be Giants and Bear Hands' song "Giants" were big hits for both bands. The Breeders, Candlebox, Black Happy, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers satisfied Dice's urge to play only artists he liked in the 90's.
Here's that Michael Damian video..."Rock On" Trivia teams! -Dice
