it checked my answer way too long
I've heard of wheat and rice, but never this one.
Grumpy grump grump! If you're going to make us search the internet you have to give us enough to go on. It's not a puzzle if I have not point of referrance. (I'm referring to the picture of the big X of course.) Or if it is the X that you don't confuse it with a bunch of extraneous album stuff.
FINALLY got under 100!!!!! :) Merry December!

Never hearing of this definitely hurt me. But I guess by how I placed a lot of other people haven't heard of this either.
What is that X??? *grumble*
[3] Like you said, it's a big X.
very confusing X. need more help. guess some puzzlers have clearer clues than others
[8] I don't know what the X is!!! *grumble* *grumble*
No, it's not just a big X. It's an X with a bunch of unreadable other characters. I just like to grumble. Sorry.
fiXed :)
This really made my night...*GRUMBLE*
salt?
finally!
[14] Must be nice! 32 minutes later...............................*SIGH*
(13) might have had this for breakfast?
[16] WHAT IS IT????? AHHHHHHHH
I had the right answer, but had never heard of it, so I didn't try it. Lost a bunch of points. Gotta learn to trust my instincts. Oh, well... Great puzzle, bargellos!
Finally......NEVER EVER heard of this!!
LOL... So came late. Saw the first comment about the X. Thought maybe they were kidding, maybe they weren't. Then the next comment. Then the next. And I was thinking, "What is wrong with these people? It's just a freakin' X. Why is it hanging them up so much?" Then I saw [11]... Oh. They must have been looking at a different X than I was looking at. :)
[20] me too!
Good puzzle!!

I liked this one! ;0)
Never heard of it - guess I'll never know now what I missed out on.
NM....P&S. Got it on a guess, since others had never heard of it and neither have I.
I prefer Hot & Spicy!!!
dog is irrelevant... still never heard of this (and thanks [2])
WOW. I can't believe there are so many complaints about this one. I'm about as slow as they get sometimes and I got it in 18 seconds, without looking at the thumbnail, etc. For those who can't get it, I think you're overthinking.
You are a freaking genius!! You solved this puzzle.

Never had this flavor either. Thanks [2]
Saying it outloud was the key for me getting this.
no clue
Never knew they made those! Good puzzle though.
Took me a bit, I got the first word fast.. it was that last one that i was stuck on.. but, and i may be CORRECT, that X could have been replaced with a few pictures of something else that would have been easier. Don't over analyze it. Once i said it out loud is made sense! Yummy!
wonder when someone will make a crypto about the tanga rice crispy treats?
[20] It's the same X. It just used to have so weird rune-like writing on right side of it. It's from an album cover, I guess. So some people thought you had to search for it and maybe come up with the artist name/album name/etc.
[34] Basically, what I saw on the monitor that I used when I created the puzzle was just an X. The secret writing didn't show up. So it's possible that if you saw this puzzle before Arnott fixed the X, you too may have seen just an X and may have wondered why he fixed the X.
I find that how well various monitors display shades of black/gray varies from monitor to monitor. If anyone understands the technical reason for this and if my understanding it would help me when purchasing a new monitor, please do let me know. You can write a TG to me. I may be in the market for a new monitor soon.
I gave up and looked at the answer. Not too bad. Kinda like the Saturday crossword puzzle. Anything goes.
