Stacy... Number 26 is wrong. The cord that does the opening is on the left side.

Or at least that's how we have them in Canada.

My best friend sent me that e-mail I think yesterday. The rules are that you can't get help from anywhere while you do this. You can't look around or ask anyone or look them up or anything. :P I got 20 right.

I couldn't--for the life of me--remember the 7th Dwarf! LOL

Hey NascarFool! Guess what.....your answer for the Campbells Soup can colors was wrong (Question 4)! :E

The Following is directly from Campbell's:
The original six colors of the Campbell Soup can are:

1. Campbell Red
2. Magenta
3. Black
4. White
5. Gold
6. Silver
:D

I also kept the e-mail for anyone else who wants proof.

Oh, and I'm gonna have to agree with Stacy and Kaworu's answer on that....it's between 23 and 25. :P

Zyph, those are not my answers. The answers came with the list that somebody emailed to me. :D I will sue them now. :D
