give me your pin code!

got it but meh....don't think the featured fits...meh

I had never heard of that brand of chocolate syrup before (but then again I don't really buy any brand for that matter).

Nice! Wouldn't have been stumped if I knew the lady... I know, that's crazy - but I don't watch any TV and haven't in over a decade now.

[5] You're not missing much.

I didn't know her nor did I know what the name of the bear thing...made it really difficult.

Did not recognize the lady or the product so had to resort to guessing. Got it on the third try.

Didn't know the woman or the syrup & then used the @#$%^&* ampersand!

So is it the color or the shape of the color we are looking for?

[10] shape

[5] Join the club - "what's TV?"

Thanks! My first post and solve! I didn't know the lady either.

[12] LOL

[13] Weird feeling, isn't it?

Is the chocolate sauce regional? I never heard of it before either.

I've also never heard of that sauce brand - and I've lived in several different states...

[15] I haven't seen that brand since I was a kid...back in the 60's. I didn't know it was still sold. Googled it and it appears to be sold only in the east and parts of the southern US....but not in any of the stores I frequent.

my son is 16 now and will no doubt be very embarrassed to have me say this (but as he's not here....) - this was an absolute favourite!

From Wikipedia:

First produced in 1928, sold throughout the United States, Western Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Make-up artist Jack Barron famously used it as fake blood in the shower scene in Psycho. This same technique was used in other black and white horror films, including Night of the Living Dead (1968).

Vik Muniz is famous for recreating well-known works of art, such as The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci entirely in xxxxx (one piece sold for $110,000 in 2007).

In the Seinfeld episode "The Secret Code", George Costanza reveals his ATM PIN "xxxxx" to J. Peterman's mother on her deathbed, who in turn repeats the word as she dies.

WOW, surprised I never heard of it!

I grew up with that lovely syrup. Used to come in a bear shaped bottle.

preschool teacher here - all I needed was the first 4 pictures!

at least i'm persistent. had the wrong paula

Googled to figure out the chocolate syrup. I've got the lady narrowed down to 2 people. I really do not know where the rest of the puzzle is going so I'm stuck.

For the Einstein pics, is the focus on the word written on the chalkboard?

they should consider not naming the image with the answer! all that has to be done is a few clicks, and BAM! answer is right there. please take this into consideration for future puzzles.

[24], the man in the picture is not important.

There's a website where you can type in any text, and it superimposes it on that image. I assume the author just used it as an easy way to put the word into the puzzle without making any real connection.

[25], that is hilarious, but I'm not sure if you should have said anything. I'm still cracking up about it :)

No one remembers the jingle? I love XXXXX!

I remember we used to sing, long ago,.... I HATE xxxxx, xxxxx's not for me! Mommy put it in my milk and tried to poison me! But I fooled Mommy, I put it in her tea. Now I have no Mommy to try and poison me.

"281st"!! THAT'S what that particular brand of syrup does to your brain, if given too much of it growing up!

I'm still new at this so I need all the comments and help I can get.

groan. cute, but groan...thanks for the preschool assistance.

[25] Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa! Priceless!

How's that for persistance?

That took me 7 hours to solve! I was starting in the wrong place and driving myself nuts with it.

I got nothin.

I beleive this is the correct term for solving it after telling the world your an idiot? no?

Also I dont watch the news. It angers the blood.

Oh man, I was thwarted by not owning that particular electronic gaming device! Had the chocolate syrup, though, and Googled Paula. Sheesh, that was hard!
