Tony is the intended word, meaning stylish, upscale, exclusive.

TIL that "tony" is a word. My brain definitely processed the clue as saying "tiny" without even a second thought.

Thanks QM. I’ve never heard that term used in this manner my entire life. You’ve educated me.

I put "on the range" for the first clue, surely that should be acceptable. Also never knew "tony" was anything other than a name.

The plane one seems oddly not US-centric, though. Do items shift in the overhead bins only on American flights?

They do in other places, too, but I have never heard of the overhead storage referrred to as "bins". That one must be an American thing.

The "Potent Potables" clue could be phrased in present tense. They still use the category frequently on Jeopardy!

Also, could you accept ‘strong drink?’ The alcohol is sort of implied in that. There are plenty of alcoholic drinks that you wouldn’t necessarily call ‘potent’ (including that stuff you guys call ‘beer!’) lol

It might be implied, but less than half of quiz takers correctly answered the question. I suspect,though, that the word "potable" is mostly responsible

It's disappointing that not more American beers are represented internationally. There's some truly exceptional beer here. Many are only available regionally which makes discovering them part of the fun of traveling. You're missing out.

Spelling errors in "Central Perk" and "tony" Los Angeles suburb? Also could Kellog's be accepted as a type in for Kellogg's?

"Tony" means "fashionable among wealthy people", it's not a spelling error. Central Perk is a location from the show Friends, also not a spelling error.
