Hope people find it funny.

If you need me, I'll just be sitting here singing the Meow Mix song for the rest of the night...

They forgot to add...Ask them to pronounce Kansas and Arkansas....I tried that one on my fiance' and got a hilarious answer.

I'll admit that even though I've lived in the US twice, I can only answer two of the questions (the s'mores and tater tots ones)... but several of the rest are before my time (i.e. I do own some SNL DVDs, but they are of the Will Ferrell/Molly Shannon/Jimmy Fallon/Ana Gasteyer era).

Lol - that's one I can answer, since my aunt has lived in Arkansas for the last 35 years and I've spent about 7 months in Little Rock over the last 20 years .

Embarrassingly, when I was in secondary school, I told my form tutor that I was spending my summer in Arkansas... but after I said it, I also pronounced it Arkan-SAS so that she would spell it correctly... and then she went and pronounced it incorrectly in front of the entire school year!

LOL - It was the Alka-Seltzer jingle for me.  Annoying little ditty after the third hour or so.......   

Then, to add insult to injury, my oh, so helpful brain remembered the other (in)famous line, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!".   

Appropriate for Thanksgiving Day though....   

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing!".

Ancient Chinese secret, huh?

I love watching The Simpsons with my hubby and playing the "do you get that reference" game.  Sooooo many 'Muricanisms! 

That SNL list is pretty old, though.  People my age (34) or younger probably know stuff from the Adam Sandler/Chris Farley/Mike Myers/etc years or after.

I'm only 25 and I know the SNL questions, but SNL was like a religion in my household, so that could be why.
