Level 14

Apr 30, 2012

Will you accept double doors?

Level 37

May 10, 2012

Accept fairy floss?

Level 51

Apr 10, 2015

I tried that for just in case, but I really don't think it's the same thing.

Level 20

May 10, 2012

"Cotton Candy" is known as "Fairy Floss" in Australia - which consequently would also make it an alliterative answer.

Level ∞

May 12, 2012

Fairy Floss will work now.

Level 84

Oct 12, 2017

Aussie nicknames rock.

Level 69

May 10, 2012

But the Big Ben-question should be rephrased though, Februus is absolutely right

Level 71

Aug 10, 2017

It is what it is, generally people think of the tower with the big clock as 'Big Ben'...... stop a hundred people in the street and show them a picture of it and ask 'what is the name of this?' and see how many say "Elizabeth Tower" or "St. Stephen's Tower" It is only the pedantic whingers that can't realise that fact.

Level 68

Jan 7, 2018

Or the truth seekers...

Level 31

Apr 6, 2018

Or the suitably educated...

Level 75

May 1, 2020

It would be a lot better if the quiz was accurate and people learned something interesting.

Level 35

May 10, 2012

CCR was not a Southern band, they were from the SF Bay area in California

Level 65

May 10, 2012

Agreed. They sang songs with southern themes, but were from California. That clue should probably be rephrased.

Level ∞

May 12, 2012

Changed it to "Southern-style".

Level 62

May 10, 2012

@CPADave71, yep, got me, too.

Level 23

May 12, 2012

Should have put food fight in the quiz XD!

Level 29

May 21, 2012

You should probably accept fanfic for fan fiction.

Level 71

Sep 29, 2012

I agree.

Level 75

Mar 14, 2015

I started to agree, then I realized all the other answers are two words so maybe fanfic wouldn't work.

Level 10

Jul 12, 2012

the vikings also work in place of the bills.

Level 84

Feb 5, 2015

You realize this is an alliteration quiz, right? Minnesota Vikings.

Level 75

Mar 14, 2015

Vinnesota Vikings?

Level 60

Feb 25, 2022

the Vikings did not go to the Super Bowl until after moving from Vinland.

Level 28

Sep 12, 2012

The Minnesota Vikings aren't alliterative so no that doesn't work. For those of you who still haven't noticed, every answer has each word starting with the same letter ex. B ig B en with a B. P ink P anther with a P. That's what alliterative means. On that note you could make an arguement that CCR doesn't belong due to the Revival part of their name. Great quiz overall though.

Level 77

Jul 11, 2013

I almost didn't put CCR even thought i was pretty sure they did Fortunate Son. I put it just because, and it worked. I agree that it doesn't belong.

Level 75

Mar 14, 2015

Caveat says not all words in the answer have to be alliterative.

Level 91

Nov 1, 2012

Took me forever to get karate kid. Wanted Double Dragon instead, that's only off by a decade...

Level 84

Sep 8, 2014

I totally forgot they made a Double Dragon movie. That was awful! I went nearly 20 years not having to remember that movie, now look what you have done!

Level 72

Jun 9, 2016

terrible movie based on an awesome Nintendo game.

Level 91

Jul 10, 2015

Mwahahaha, my evil plan bears fruit...

Level 37

Nov 2, 2012

All I could think of for the cold cuts was another alliterative answer - party platter.

Level 48

Jun 23, 2014

"Revival" does not start with C!

Level 58

Jul 31, 2014

Plenty of whinging here. The quiz is fine as it is. CCR contains an example of alliteration. The Big Ben/ Great Bell/ Elizabeth Tower distinction is a misconception favored by the sort of pedantic chap who loves nothing more than beginning a sentence by saying "Aaaaaactually... " The rest of the detractors don't seem to know what alliteration means. Except the Fairy Floss guy. That's my something learned for today.

Level 75

Mar 14, 2015

Fairy floss plants an image in my mind of little fairies sitting around on their flower petals after dinner cleaning their teeth. BTW, it is now accepted as an answer.

Level 76

Aug 13, 2014

Side salad?

Level 82

Oct 7, 2019

I was tempted to ask if I could substitute a side salad for my french fries. Or maybe a baked potato... the way my father pronounces it. "ba dae duh"

Level 72

Feb 24, 2015

The electric eel is actually a fish, not a snake.

Level 57

Mar 14, 2015

Big Ben is the hour bell, not the tower.

Level 67

Mar 14, 2015

This is minor, but I have not anywhere heard the singer of the Foo Fighters referred to as "David." He goes by Dave and always has.

Level 18

Mar 20, 2015

Big ben is the bell itself. The tower is called Queen elizabeths tower

Level 65

Aug 29, 2015

Yep, cause Q and E make an alliterative answer!

Level 76

May 14, 2015

Liked the sporting alliterative clue fishing for an alliterative answer...

Level 21

May 31, 2015

Fanfic should be expected for fan fiction

Level 65

Apr 7, 2018

Nope. "Fanfic" is one word, so therefore, not alliterative.

Level 29

May 1, 2020

Ok then fan fic

Level 22

Jul 21, 2016

I typed in Credence Clearwater three times... why doesn't that work? That's the alliteration you're looking for, right? How does adding "revival" meet the alliteration requirement?

Level 65

Apr 7, 2018

You misspelled "Creedence".

Level 55

Nov 30, 2016

I love the fact that the title is Alliteration in itself :)

Level 81

Dec 26, 2016

Big Ben is the bell inside the clock tower, not the tower itself. An electric eel is not a serpent.

Level 54

Mar 25, 2017

Did we decide if Big Ben is St. Elizabeth or St. Stephen?

Level 59

Jun 8, 2017

Neither!

Level 54

Mar 25, 2017

As of 2012 it is Elizabeth Taylor Tower.... I mean Elizabeth Tower after the current queen.

Level 70

Mar 25, 2017

Why did I think it was Side dish for a burgular?

Level 95

May 8, 2018

Someone may have pointed this out already, but I believe alliteration only refers to repeated consonant letters at the beginning of words (I googled it to verify and every definition I found referenced only repeated consonants at the beginning of words). So electric eel and alcoholics anonymous are not technically alliterative.

The correct term for repeated vowel sounds is assonance, though the vowel sounds don't necessarily have to be at the beginning of the word.

Level 46

Jun 12, 2018

Yes that would be assonance, I remember my English teacher drilling that into my skull. But I suppose the 'l' sound in Electric Eel can count as alliteration. Or even the s in Alcoholics Anonymous, at the ends of the two words. Though I'm pretty sure the author meant the assonance of the first vowel letters.

Level 31

Jun 11, 2018

Description for Big Ben should be changed, Big Ben is the bell, the tower is called "The Elizabeth Tower"

Level 46

Jun 12, 2018

Only 38% knew King Kong?

Level 72

Dec 15, 2021

I only got it because I got an answer about King Kong wrong on this site before. Never watched it and had never heard of Skull Island

Level 37

Sep 6, 2018

From now on, I'm going to, for the most part, skip the quiz and just read the comments! They are much more entertaining than many of the quizzes.

Level 85

Feb 5, 2019

What dictionary says cheese counts as a cold cut?

Level 52

Sep 24, 2019

I typed Anonymous Alcoholics.... welp

Level 67

Oct 7, 2019

Amusing....i'm Dutch...but i've never heard of a term like the Dutch door. To state it opens horizontaly also reads a bit odd, makes more sense to state it opens horizontaly AS WELL.

Level 59

May 1, 2020

You know that you're tired when you first write 'nignen' and then 'benben'

Level 41

Nov 20, 2020

Thank you jjba for dirty deeds done cheap

Level 79

Dec 16, 2021

An assortment of cold meats and cheeses is sometimes (rather pompously) known in the UK as a cold collation

Level 66

Jun 9, 2022

7 of these questions are exclusively Americanisms, not great quiz sorry :(

Cold cuts, CCR, Superbowl whatever, and Dutch Door (???) are the worst offenders
