Friday was our triumphant return to the United Way Trivia Match as defending champions. I wasn’t even across the parking lot before I mentioned my champion status to someone. I restrained myself and didn’t mention it again until I was … five paces in the door. After that, I settled down.
We did not win the big prize this year. We did not win, we did not place, we did not show. We tied for fourth place.
We did well in the Pringles flavor interactive category, but we were hobbled by the advertising jingles category, and finally there just were too many sports questions for us to be in contention. Still, fourth place isn’t shameful.

Ah, sports, crossword-puzzle nemesis (I have never attended a trivia night, but have been thwarted by sports figure questions as long as I’ve been doing crossword puzzles, approximately).
What exactly *is* a Pringles flavor interactive category? Does the interactive modify flavor, such that you eat the chips and say the flavor, or…?
With you on the sports question blanks. That door is not only shut to me, but locked, chained and sealed with mastic.
KC – We had to eat the chips and identify the flavor. I was able to say “this is the worst flavor I have ever had” and then look through the possible flavors and say, “oh, mustard.” Similarly, I could say, “I like whatever this is,” and then call it as French onion dip.
Big Dot – luckily, Mr. Hot Mom is available for those questions, and to some degree Friend #3.
