Ambrosia and nectar! Thanks to my high school English teacher for teaching us Greek mythology!

weird how some people only know about greek mythology through movies... I want to say it is a pretty bad thing, but then again, the same people would probably know nothing about greek mythology if it wasnt for those movies..

Still it paints a pretty specific picture though. and influences your view on things.

Percy Jackson was originally a series of books not films (which were pretty bad...) and has now branched out into Heroes of Olympus and the Trials of Apollo. They're all quite informative and enjoyable to be fair.

In my opinion, you should accept Beer or Duff for the Homer Simpson question...

No because there was an entire episode about him selling his soul for a donut

I also typed in beer first, but seeing it wasn't beer, donut would obviously be the next guess.

Please add gum trees or gum tree leaves of gum leaves for Koala. That's what most people in Australia call Eucalyptus. plus its easier to spell.

Maybe accept plankton for whale food? Krill is part of these anyway and it would be easier for many non-English natives that get taught at school that whales eat plankton. Also there's an extra "o" that snuck into the question about eating quickly.

Can you please add a type-in for Manna as "Man-o-salwa" or "Mon salwa", since most people from middle east and south asia call it that, instead of the latin version.

Please change donut to the correct spelling, doughnut.
+3
Level 75
Aug 8, 2020
In this case the correct spelling should be d'oh-nut.
+1
Level 79
Aug 9, 2020
'Donut' is a variant spelling of 'doughnut'.
+2
Level 59
Aug 9, 2020
And doughnut is a variation of the original word: "dough-nought" "Nought" which is a variation of "naught" which is another word for "nothing" or "zero." So the original word meant dough formed in the shape of a zero.

It's more like a simplified spelling. The "Do" sound reads as the word "to do" if you're not familiar with the USA slang.

Whenever it's written in the Simpsons, it's "donut."

accept "glizzy" for hot dog?

Level 75
Aug 8, 2020
The original script for E.T. called for M&M's, but when they asked Mars Inc. for permission to use them in the movie they said no. Apparently they didn't want their product to be associated with aliens. They switched to Hershey's Reese's Pieces without asking permission until later, but Hershey agreed to the promotion. Good decision because sales for Reese's Pieces jumped 65% or more after the movie came out.

Pac-Man does not eat "power pellets", they are energizers.

He also doesn't eat "ghosts", they are monsters.
