Alyssa is a dog food marketer. When Meredith asks her how she knows the dog food is any good, Alyssa admits that she has eaten it, herself. It's more palatable to dogs than humans, though, so if you are going to eat it, she'd recommend salt and hot sauce. One of her roommates eats it on crackers, all the time!

Meredith says that when she was little, she used to eat Milk Bones.

Meredith asks the computer to randomize the money and the questions. The unrandomized Topic Tree is not shown.
