Never heard of them. Maybe like you said, must be OOOOOOLD SCHOOL. Glad I aint that old. I still like the "Barf bag over the Emesis bag". Why be phoney about it? Call it what its used for. Now, about the quiz. LAME LAME LAME. Come up with a better one. Anyone of those "DRY AIR" on the plane answers could have been right technically speaking. Ever go to a restaurant in Philippines or Panama where the air is very muggy and try to use a salt shaker over your food and notice rice inside mix with the salt? Why is this? Because moisture collects in the glass and the salt gets caught up in the sprinkle holes and clogs up. The rice somehow reduces the moisture in the glass and the salt now can flow dry and freely through the sprinkle holes.
Yeah Channellock (brand name), water pump pliers, boar hogs same thing, different terminology. I know you use the hogs.
Palms don’t blame it on the sun, the moon, “the boogie” or the quiz. Go into quiz Zen mode- accept it-

And Palms I expect you to post in the next quiz, and this time, don’t delete your answers.
