Look Smart Trivia: 1974
9Doctor @raccoon81, I presume? After how they aced yesterday’s African Countries With A Twist, I’d trust them more to navigate up the Congo than some dusty-mustached old British imperialist:
- Mozambique
- Ethiopia
- Republic of Congo (Brazzaville)
- Tunisia
- Zimbabwe

Happy Birthday @JasonToon!!! Wish we could give you something as enjoyable as all this trivia you’ve given us!
Thanks! And I wasn’t alive in 1974 so I bet I wouldn’t know these anyway. The Möbius strip thing for #1 is interesting though.
Happy birthday @JasonToon! Did you know all good people were born in 1974
Happy birthday, glad you’re ok.
Also glad we don’t get to see video of your birth, ew.
In honor of your birthday, I’ll give this gift to the thread:
This is another one of those “I wish I could win” moments. Answers for sale, cheap.
@cinoclav i was not old enough to remember these events
@tinamarie1974 Though I was born in 1969, I really wasn’t old enough to remember any of these either.
@cinoclav id you dis I would be EXTREMELY impressed
@cinoclav I’ve got 'em all except #2.
I couldn’t imagine what the seemingly disparate images in #4 could have in common, but I Googled “Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit 10 pack 1974” and up popped the answer!
@tinamarie1974 My earliest memory was probably when I was 3 and in the hospital to get my tonsils out. Just before going in our dog destroyed my favorite stuffed monkey. My poor mother searched high and low to find another just like it, eventually finding the same style but a different color.
@cinoclav aaaww. Interesting, one of my first memories involves a stuffed monkey too -Curious George! I forgot him on the bus and like you, my mom just couldn’t find him.
They went to the store and found a new one but it wasn’t MY George. I actually still have him packed away in my basement. Not going to loose him again
@tinamarie1974 That replacement green monkey is stored away in a box in my attic. I’m also a Curious George fan and have several sitting around the house.
@cinoclav aaawww I George!
@cinoclav omg I just saw this message. It looks like I had a stroke! Spell check was not working correctly here
@tinamarie1974 What, this one? “id you dis…”
I’m used to trying to decipher doctor’s handwriting so most of the time I don’t even think twice about it.
@cinoclav well I am very far from a Dr! No excuse here
Oh, I was 4 or 5 during most of this. But Romper Room not one of these. Happy Birthday, @JasonToon!
@lehigh Congrats, and let’s hear it for the niftyish fiftyish!
@DennisG2014 Talk to me in late October
@lehigh Born in '69 also, huh?! Answers looking good, congrats!
/giphy chicken dinner
@lehigh Well yeah, mine’s in August, but hence the “ish”.
@DennisG2014 @lehigh I think we need to have a Big 5-0 party. I hit it 9/5.
@cinoclav @lehigh I like it. We can start mid August and keep partying until late October.
(I was born on the first day of Woodstock.)
@DennisG2014 @lehigh Imagine how many people were born 9 months after that first day of Woodstock.
@cinoclav @DennisG2014
@DennisG2014 @lehigh Older and wiser!
@lehigh My brother won a dog on Romper Room and I was on television. I knew all of these right off except for #2.
@lehigh really good documentary about the Patty Hearst/SLA called “Guerilla” (i think) i recomend it highly!
Happy birthday @JasonToon!!!
@slipperyp Is that a Mama Cass cartoon??
@lehigh @slipperyp It is according to it’s link.

Again Happy Birthday to our trivia maester, @JasonToon. You know, when you’re at 45, you’re only half right!
YouTube didn’t exist then. And your challenge caused me to regress back to that era, and so now I don’t know how to play the video.
