I knew it was completely wrong, but trademark glass made me think Tiffany and I could never get away from it. It's not impossible that I've ever had Coke from a green glass bottle, but I can't assume that I have.

Emmentaler and radius as well.

You'd think after eliminating the Washington and the Lincoln Ms, the correct response would have leapt up, but no...
Oddly blanked on Lagos...
It's been many years since I drank a coke out of any kind of bottle, or at all...
Got the bone, not the cheese...

Almost went with Washington Monument, but thought it was too old and switched to Jefferson.
I’m sure I must have had a Coke in the green bottle.
Have seen the Jefferson Memorial.
Emmenthaler for the cheese, Gruyere never occurred to me, although the French spelling of the canton should have been the clue.

Wednesday's miss = National Archives display room
Thursday's miss = Kipling

Misspoke with Armenia while thinking Anatolia.
Knew Flatt & Scruggs had a big hit with Foggy Mountain Breakdown and did the theme for Beverly Hillbillies. Could hear them in my mind. Still said mandolin instead of banjo. My moments are getting more and more senior.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

Coke out of a glass bottle tastes sooooo much better than out of plastic.

... and Mexican Coke tastes soooo much better than domestic Coke (they use real sugar instead of HFCS).
