Celebrity Endorsed Trivia
By Dan on Jan 27, 2010 in Blog
Celebrities work hard to entertain us; the least we can do is buy the stuff they’re shilling.
Here’s a round of trivia based on celebrity endorsements. It’s pretty self-explanatory, including the part about not Google cheating.
(This round of trivia is being brought to you by the good people at the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., home of the tastiest ales in the world. At least it will be if they send me a t-shirt or a coupon or something for this completely honest and unsolicited pitch.)
Now, on to the trivia!
1 – This shag-topped actress sang a jaunty jingle about chicken and Wessonality.
2 – Bob Harris met Charlotte while in Tokyo shooting a Suntory Whiskey commercial in this movie.
3 – His booming voice reminds us that "This, is CNN."
4 – Nothing came between Brook Shields and this brand of designer jeans.
5 – This venerated thespian insisted that Paul Masson "will sell no wine, before its time."
6 – This actor has been the voice of Lowe’s and the Oppenheimer Fund, and also played a guy named Popeye.
7 – Faith Hill, Tyra Banks, Keri Russell, Christie Brinkley and Ellen DeGeneres have all provided a face to this company.
8 – Bob Hope served as spokesman for Chrysler and this petroleum retailer.
9 – A recent GoDaddy TV spot features this race car driver getting hit on by a comely female police officer.
10 – Wilco’s The Thanks I Get was heard on commercials for this auto manufacturer.
Bonus
He appeared on a billboard advising women to "Get a Mammogram, Man!"

1 – Not sure about the shag-topped part, but the only actress I remember endorsing Wesson was Florence Henderson.
2 – Lost in Translation. Zzzzzzz
3 – James Earl Jones
4 – Jordache. (sp?) I think she was 16 when she made those commercials. Dirty!
5 – Orson Welles
6 – Gene Hackman. You think somebody will guess Robin Williams, don’t you? I wrote a French Connection question like that I think.
7 – You might have me on this one. Gotta be makeup, right? Covergirl
8 – Shell?
9 – No idea. I thought Danica Patrick was their spokesperson. They wouldn’t go there would they?
10 – First time I heard the song was on the VW commercials, and I think that was one of the reasons I bought a VW.
Bonus
??? – Peter Griffin???
