Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Each of these high-profile celebs has signed multiple contracts with companies. But here’s the real question: can you pick out the product the celebrity hasn’t shilled for? Get ten out of ten, and maybe we’ll consider putting you in our next commercial.

I got 8 out of 10!!! Not perfect but still pretty damn good. Now I KNOW I watch too much TV!

I’m saddened to say I got 9 out of 10. I totally need a life

Some of these I guessed on based on the picture content, eg., Kelly Ripa licking a coffee cup is a pretty good indication, in a slightly twisted way, that Folger’s wasn’t one of her endorsements. Others I guessed on using a standard based on the twisted (possibly mean-spirited) humor I thought might have gone into the product choices (Maybeline, KFC). All in all, I got 9 out of 10 using this method. I’m pleased and a bit upset all at the same time. =8^)

I got 2 out of 10 because I was picking the one they HAD advertised for!

I’m not too ashamed to say I only got 5 out of 10

I’m in the same category as #4 Aimee….I didn’t read the directions and chose the ones they HAD shilled for! 2 for 10………

5 out of 10 but then I live in the Uk (is that a valid excuse?)

Ditto to what Wiley (post #3) said. I wlso got 90% using the same techniques that he did. I hate to think that I may have an intellectual twin out there.
