This Week’s Trivia Question: On July 1, 1941, the first paid TV ad aired. What watch brand did it advertise? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s question was, “In 1925, a woman donated $550,000 to Vassar College to found the Institute of Euthenics. What was her last name?” The answer was Blodgett, but nobody got it (which kind of rhymes).
