Q 1-ouch. Nothing like getting the hard one over with first. JTQ.

The rest seem to be pretty easy.

"Forrest Gump" is one of my very favorite movies. I remember this part well. Dr. Pepper is Forrest's favorite drink. He drinks it every chance he gets.

How about "Mom, you plagiarized our names from the author of Gone With the Wind!"

There was a significant crowd reaction when these choices were revealed. I think that somebody may have shouted something out that got edited from the tape or there was some off-air banter with Jessica that made a reference to Princess Grace. Simply being from Philly, as Jessica said when answering the question, wouldn't have provoked that response.

Cute story. No, really.

If it had been LBJ, the answer should have been "Fresca."

I've never seen all of this movie, but this scene stuck with me. I also wonder if Dr. Pepper used it in commercials.

So far, so good.
