I was going with the company, not the actual cereal.

Giff isn't the only one who misunderstood. 2 of the contestants did. Think there's any chance they bring them all back because of the confusion? When I hear "cereal brand" I think actual name of cereal, but I could understand the confusion.

Was the cereal/beer mentioned in the craft beer thread? If I ever heard this, I don't remember. Just made an educated guess. Got the Brit Lit, never been more shocked a guess was correct. Talked myself out of Jakarta

Not specifically.

[+] spoiler: Hefeweizen means "wheat beer". Wheaties was the easiest deduction.

Makes sense. That's what led me to get it, really thought I'd remember hearing of such a collaboration. Two things that taste horrible, together at last!

That's how I tried to get it. But my head got stuck on other cereal names.

I would be very surprised, I understand the confusion but I think the meaning of the word 'brand' is pretty clear. Particularly for a type of product with several well-known companies that each sell many well-known brands apiece.

Then again, a good friend of mine wrote this book:

More on Tuesday's final jeopardy. According to one of the players, the guy who won Tuesday and today, posting on the JBoard.tv, Alex Trebek had this to say to the contestants after the game: "I told the producers that the Final was too obscure, that no one would get it, but they overruled me."
