3) The advertising slogan for this (fourth) Herbie film was: 'Yes, We Have A ________' Banana is incorrect.
4) How many payphones are by the restrooms at Wolfgang Puck Express?

Sam I Am · 06-25-2004, 04:28 PM

By the way, I will post the answers to these questions at the end of each day, when I post the next day's tidbits, if they have not been correctly answered.

dzneynut · 06-25-2004, 04:41 PM

3) 'Yes, We Have A Bananza.'
4) There are two Wolfgang Puck Expresses! Not that it makes any difference, since this is just a guess anyway! 3 payphones.

Sam I Am · 06-25-2004, 07:03 PM

Both are correct. Isn't one a cafe and the other express?

(407) 827-9601, 9547, 9419 are the numbers.
