THINGS YOU COULD BE works better on the Osmond version, with their desire for the entire category to be uttered. (Side note: I would've actually preferred that setup slightly to the previous versions' keywords, except that they kept using categories that were just cruel in that situation--ROOMS IN THE WHITE HOUSE?)

As long as we're having fun with common verbs, who wants to try THINGS YOU LIKE? I have a couple in mind . . .

If you could affect the kiddie voice from the commercial, "Life cereal" would be good if your partner is old enough to remember that.

Mikey's Life cereal.

Dangit, now I've gone and forgotten my better of the two I had since I posted that. "Ike" was the other.

Jumping back to the THINGS YOU FRY debate, Joel Brooks also used "French potatoes" as a clue in 1987 and got buzzed. Dick Clark argued that there were Irish potatoes, German potatoes, and Idaho potatoes, so why couldn't there be a French potato? After the commercial, Dick announced that the judge had agreed with his argument. The point was, even though Joel was obviously making a reference to french fries, since a potato grown in France would be a French potato and you could fry it, the judge couldn't disqualify the clue.

So the consensus seems to be that they had no consensus on "French potato" over the years?

I give a yea to "french-cut potato", and a nay to "French potato"--yeah, such a thing could exist, but the giver obviously isn't saying it because French potatoes are very well-known for being fried. You can grab a grab bag, too.

And I think Mayim Bialik became very attractive in her later years. Therefore, she DID blossom, dammit! ;-)

The way to get around it is to say "Frenched potatoes", since frenching is a way of cutting potatoes. Not that the judges would recognize the word if it came down to making such a split-second decision.
