HEY, HEY, HEY,. IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT. TIME FOR TRIVIA. JUNE 16TH, 2023

It’s not time for Trivia just yet, but I am on my way to be with hubby and bringing him some potato soup, Italian grinder and for dessert, brownies and a small piece of chocolate cake with white frosting. This is just in case that the dinner served is not edible (weekends begin in Rehab on Thursdays, is usually
questionable). Hope you have a fun game and get together. I will try to be with you later. Until then, here are some facts for this date:

June 16th is officially National Fudge Day and Fresh Veggies Day.

Did you know that on this day in 1903, Pepsi Cola became an official trademark? It got its name from two of the ingredients used in its recipe, pepsin and kola nuts.

1989
Ghostbusters II was released in 2,410 movie theaters across the US.

1978
Grease, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, was released in the US.
The musical romantic comedy was an instant hit and quickly became the highest-grossing musical film at the time. The film’s soundtrack was also wildly popular, with the soundtrack album ranking as the second-best album that year in the US.

HOW TO PLAY HSN’S TRIVIA: Questions can be found in the Rewards Store within the Arcade, And begin between 8 pm and 8:05 pm EST depending upon your computer clock. There are six questions during the game. The last question is posted between 10:30 pm and 10:35 pm EST. Again, depending upon your computer clock. Each question lasts approximately 30 minutes, so you will need to come up with the correct response within that time frame. If you answer incorrectly, you will see a red “OOPS.” The incorrect response will not count against you unless the time is up. Each correct answer is worth 200 tickets to use in the Rewards Store against the Featured or Current Sweepstakes. So, before you tear your hair out, before you give up, just return to this thread where one or more of us will be able to help. Also, join us in light conversation, ideas or whatever and LET THE FUN BEGIN….

NOTE; Sometimes a little gremlin will pose a question that requires a number. In those instances it may not accept for example 16. It’s the correct response, but you may need to spell it out: sixteen. Other times there may be a two word answer such as: Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday may need to be written as one word: HappyBirthday. There are also times when the answer is a plural even though the question seems to reflect something that isn’t. However, sometimes it is easier to check this thread for the correct response.🍦🍿😃🌴🍧🍧🎂
