I wonder if that will be following the February or May sweeps? (I presume Reege was originally scheduled for one of those times.)

$2,000 (Brand Names)- In the 2960s, Proctor & Gamble drew inspiration from “Pringle Avenue”, the name of a suburban street, to name a brand of what?
A- Bubble gum B- Licorice
C- Potato crisps D- Jelly beans
[Obscure] Spoiler:
C- Potato crisps (7)
This is kind of interesting: apart from the odd date, they used a Briticism (what they call 'crisps,' we know are actually 'chips,' although Pringles are of course neither, but instead some sort of alien non-life form). I wonder if this is something they just stole from the British edition?
Innocent, naive and whimsical. And somewhat footloose and fancy-free.

IIRC, Pringles can not legally be called potato chips.

Pringles were originally "Pringle's Newfangled Potato Chips". Other chip makers protested and the FDA responded with this:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/artic ... 86,00.html
Small Print. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now ruled that "potato chips made from dried potatoes" must be labeled exactly that, and the last four words must appear on the can in type at least half as large as the words potato chip (on Pringle's cans they now appear in small print easy to overlook).
Proctor & Gamble decided to change the name to potato crisps to avoid that disclaimer. So they could, in fact, legally be called potato chips but with that added phrase. They just choose not to.
No matter where you go, there you are.

This is really tricky for a $3K question. Coaches can refer to either buses or trains. And since I've never heard of this Elvis song, I'll also have to ask the audience.

"Mystery Train" is a world famous blues song. Before Elvis glommed onto it, even. At least to people to whom its world-famous, anyway. Its a "you're supposed to recognize the song" Q.
