According to multiple sources (examples linked below), Post-it Notes were test-marketed in four cities in 1977, with the national roll-out following in 1980.

Apart from the technicality that the product originally was sold under the name "Press & Peel" (which would be a stretch even if the category were "brands" instead of "inventions"), "C" was the correct answer. Therefore, the contestants should have lost only $80,000 (not $800,000) on the question.

  • So did they get back at the producers through legal action or anything of the sort?

  • Obviously because the research people couldn't do their job.

  • Why isn't this show renewed for another season?? This was a GREAT show....

  • Like if you agree these games are cruel

  • @Videodude31453 i read the description and came to the conclusion that they were morons. probably just an American thing man..don't take it personally

  • @CorinWright How? Did you read the description, You IDIOT!

  • God..these people are morons

  • @happinin It had NOTHING to do with that...

  • damn well apple computers were sold before 1984 when they were named macintosh. now all apple pc's are called macs so which is really correct if it's just a difference in the name?
