That was a common substitution in WWI - sauerkraut was called "Liberty cabbage", for instance.

Cedric asked and Amanda said she got a Millionaire board game to practice at home and they turn down the lights to make it realistic.

I've got a copy of that board game (assuming it's the same one) and interestingly we bought it after I found out I was going to be on the show so that I could practice. But turning down the lights? They don't do that any more.

I wouldn't have figured this out. First, I'm not sure what difference it would make (are Mac users more affluent?), and second, how they would even know that.
