The Retail Alphabet Game - version 4. Maddening! This is very America-centric, unfortunately. But a fun little time waster.

Fun!

I've gotten A, C, H, J, L, M, N, P, Q, T, and Z. Now I'm stumped, and some of them are just taunting me.

Aha, just got Y.

posted by BoringPostcards 03 January | 21:17

And G. OK, I'll stop posting unless I get several more.

posted by BoringPostcards 03 January | 21:18

No, keep updating!

I've gotten J, P, Q, T, U, V, X, and Z.

G and Y look so familiar. It's driving me crazy!

posted by LoriFLA 03 January | 21:21

I got S and U.

posted by BoringPostcards 03 January | 21:24

I've guessed C and Y correctly.

posted by LoriFLA 03 January | 21:24

Just got V.

posted by BoringPostcards 03 January | 21:28

I'm stumped, even though F, G, and S look very familiar. I thought I knew S, but was wrong.

posted by LoriFLA 03 January | 21:28

I'm stuck, too... R and F are going to completely escape me, I can tell. They don't look familiar at ALL. And the A is so generic, it could be anything.

For some reason I got R right away, despite the fact that I think that company is only in Canada.

Upon checking, they are in the US.

Several times I just KNEW I had guessed O, and was wrong every time. Argh

I have to go to bed in a minute (damn 7 am shift!) but this was a blast. Thanks, ico!!

I'm also leaving the window open in case one comes to me as I'm laying in bed... heheh

Only got H.

posted by arse_hat 04 January | 00:57

Just got the H and L. Duh! :)

posted by LoriFLA 04 January | 09:09

I'm almost positive I know D, but it's not giving it to me. Is punctuation important?

posted by Rock Steady 04 January | 09:16

I thought D was this. Apparently not.

posted by LoriFLA 04 January | 11:52

H, J, L, Q, T, U, V, Y & Z and I'm stumped.
