    Had a quick google of the brands this morning and my response to one of the ones I picked was "Oh f**k, how the f**k, what the actual f**k"

    So that's probably the one you're referring to. 😂

    I think that T.V one was evil, sure they were all nearly from same time period(well in my head anyway😁) apart from few obvious ones.

    At least with the brands there was a large timescale difference( well so I think we will see in reveal🤣)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,182 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    I was the other way round ended up going for two brands I knew were somewhere middley but not ancient .

    TV ones I remember watching some at a particular time in my life on a single channel ? Or maybe 2 channels ..lush !

    Welcome to round 5 reveal



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,443 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Lets have a look at the answers to q1. As nitters pointed out, there was a surprisingly old company there that caught a few of you out

    I didn't even pick Nintendo but wtf!?

    Also surprised Pepsi is that old, I knew it would be pretty old but not 1890s

    Have to admit I knew about Nintendo - originally a card company. Picked that up on a tour of the Nikkei building in 2012. And finally it's come to be of use 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,271 ✭✭✭appledrop


    NIntendo😱 I would have guessed 1989!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 32,206 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Uh oh......

    Swarovski the surprise for me!

    I was going to say Paramount but changed to Ferrari, delighted with Barry's Tea though. I didn't think it was that old.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,271 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I went for Canon and Bic, actually thought both were older than they are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,443 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    How did you all score. Well cdeb takes an early lead in the cup final over Duffers, while @davetherave gets a perfect score

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,271 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I knew for sure Barry's Tea & Pepsi were old but as a result I thought both would be 15 points guaranteed.

    Surprised aswell at Paramount would have said late 20's at a push but more likely 30's.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭PogoRach


    Yeah, Nintendo caught me out. Knew quite a few of them would be way older than I had thought, but I didn't think Nintendo would be one of those - thought I was playing it safe with Nintendo and Sony



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,443 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Now for q2, I will admit, I was surprised how old top gear was while researching. I think Knots Landing and Dallas caught a few out

    I knew Pepsi answer due to getting it wrong on another forum quiz😁

    Looks like if you hang out in these quizzes you will pick up all random bits of information!

    Yay, I managed one pointless on that one!



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 21,898 Mod ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    From 3 to 30 😂😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭PogoRach


    Well damn, I completely dismissed Top Gear as being one of the much more recent ones...

    Otherwise I knew then all to within a year or two



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,443 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Lets see how youvall scored there, well done @Goldengirl with a perfect score

    Screenshot_20250801_222452_Sheets.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,271 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I thought Top Gear was one of most recent.

    Definitely thought Only Fools & Horses 1970's sure they dressed for 70's in early episodes, cant believe that one ended up pointless!

    You were messing with us though with all those shows in 80's impossible to date!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,622 ✭✭✭lorcand1990


    Damn I nearly picked only fools and horses but thought it was too old



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,540 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Ah here - redacted?!?!



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,540 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Great final question though, with everything one year apart
