Round One
We kick off today’s show with a Beer Trivia question about a slang term for a popular brand of beer. Need a hint? The answer is also the second-best-selling beer in America.
Next, an Actor Link Trivia question challenges the Team to name the character that has been played by three specific actresses. Spoiler alert: One of the movies featuring this character is one of just three movies in history to win the “Big Five” Academy Awards.
The first round wraps up with a Food Trivia question about a highly coveted McDonald’s sauce originally released in 1998 to promote the Disney animated film, Mulan. If you’re still hungry to learn more, be sure to check out episode #37 of the podcast for a theme round of Fast Food Trivia!
Bonus Question
Today’s Bonus Question is a follow-up to the Food question from the first round. The Team is asked to guess how many seconds the average McDonald’s drive-through transaction takes. One member of the Team points out that eagle-eyed visitors may even be able to spot a timer inside the drive-through window, which they use as their baseline for formulating a guess. Do you think they’re close enough to earn a point? Listen in and see if you agree with their logic!
Round Two
Way back in episode #7 of the podcast, we took a trip down to South America for our theme round. And we enjoyed our Trivia travels so much that we decided to return for more. That’s right, grab your passports and come with us for another round of South America Trivia!
Our first stop is a Geography Trivia question that challenges the Team to identify the country that’s home to the closest city to Antarctica. There’s some debate amongst the players about the correct answer, so let us know which answer you would have voted for. And if you need a bit more time to think, here are some fascinating facts about some of the world’s most interesting ecosystems to peruse while you ponder.
Next, we have a Dances Trivia question about a Brazilian dance craze from the 1950s that got its Portuguese name because it was literally the hot “new trend.” Spoiler alert: Here’s a breakdown of the steps to this dance, in case you’re looking for your next opportunity to go viral on TikTok!
Round Two concludes with a Movies Trivia question about a popular 1978 film that’s title was translated to Vaseline in Argentina. If you’re ready to challenge yourself with more questions about movies, check out episode #14 of the podcast for a theme round of Tom Hanks Trivia!
Final Question
We’ve reached the Final Question of today’s game, and the category of choice is Music. Fire up those playlists and let’s get this party started!
The Trivia Team is given a list of five artists and asked to place them in order of how many platinum albums they have. The players aren’t feeling super confident about this question, but they each suggest some educated guesses for what the order could be. Do you think you can nail the Final Question? Tune in and see whether you can help the Team to victory!
