B) Lemons with a hint of lime.
C) Panang curry.

| An advert for Hovis from the olden days. I've censored the word 'indigestion' to avoid giving the answer away. |

A) Germs.
B) Ailments, afflictions, and other unpleasant peculiarities.

Editor's note: "Charles, you've accidentally given the answer away in your caption to the photo!"
Charles: "I wouldn't worry. My readers are all highly intelligent*, so they would probably have guessed the right answer anyway."
* With the exception of Bob from Surrey, who is merely moderately intelligent. Sorry, Bob from Surrey if I spoiled the answer for you!

Answers:
1) Artificial 'intelligence'
Correct answer: D) Clever idiot
This was a nice easy question to start things off. As I'm sure was obvious, the AI prompt I used to create the image was 'clever idiot'.
Based on this example, I suspect that AI still has a long way to go before it's ready to conquer the world.

| York. Not all of it, obviously. It's bigger than this photo. This is just a small part of it. |
2) Possible may be B
Which Icelandic singer was named after a city in England?
Correct answer: B) York (Bjork)
The correct answer was B) York (Bjork), singer of such songs as B) achelorette, B) eautiful Mother, and one of my favourite songs, Hyper B) allad.
Eagle eyed readers may have noticed that there was a clue in the title, which was a pun based on a Bjork song.
3) I Want To...
What did Freddie Mercury want to do?
Correct answers:
A) Break free
B) Ride my bicycle
C) Live forever
Obviously we can immediately rule out answer D because pharmaceutical companies would never be involved with anything as dubious as promoting harmful drugs. That leaves three answers, and you'll be pleased to know that they were all correct, so award yourself a point whatever answer you went for!*
* As long as it was A, B or C, and not D, because once again, the scenario described in answer D is completely preposterous!

| West. Taunted by Kim. |
4) The Kardashians?
"Kim taunts West by *******."
Correct answer: D) Launching test missile over Japan.
Wow! Incredibly, the correct answer is D! That's a pretty extreme measure that Kim Kardashian went to just to taunt Kanye West! And to be honest, I don't even think Kanye would be that bothered anyway. As far as I'm aware, I don't think he spends that much time in Japan.
Editor's note: "Charles, I think the headline is referring to Kim Jong Un, the North Korean president, and 'the West' is referring to the 'alliance' of Western countries ruled by traitorous megalomaniac psychopaths."
Charles: "Oh, right. So it's not Kim Kardashian and Kanye West?"
Editor: "No, it's Kim Jong Un and the West."
Charles: "Oh, right. Actually, yeah, that makes more sense now."
5) Tasty strawberries
Can you guess how the strawberries' taste was described?
Correct answer: D) Yesteryear.
I would have assumed that strawberries tasted like strawberries, but no. Apparently, they taste like yesteryear.

| The uncensored advert for proof. |
6) Delicious Hovis
Hovis is a cure for ... what?
Correct answer: D) Indigestion
I just included answer B (ailments, afflictions, and other unpleasant peculiarities) because that sounds like the type of language that adverts might have used in the olden days, but sadly the correct answer was the far more ordinary 'indigestion'.
I haven't seen the claims repeated in recent adverts for Hovis, but I can imagine that bread would be a fairly safe food to eat for anyone that suffered from indigestion. Anyway, whatever the benefits are, Hovis bread is definitely delicious*, so it certainly gets my approval.
* If I was a marketing dude for Hovis, then that's what I would promote. The delicious taste, rather than it being a cure for indigestion.

On a final note, if anyone reading this enjoys strawberries, then I would strongly recommend that you get a couple of strawberry plants for your garden. There's nothing better than picking and eating your own fresh strawberries from the garden!
