## Dave's Trivia

"*I know at one time or another we've all said 'Hey, I'm gonna go to the market to pick up a few things.' But have you wondered just how many 'things' the average American supermarket actually carries? I'll tell you right now, it isn't 10,000. Is it higher or lower? ... According to the Food Marketing Institute, the average supermarket carries over 26,430 different items. Talk about an inventory headache! So, uh, the next time you ask a clerk where the filberts are and he doesn't know? Relax! As long as you know where the expensive items are you can still play our game and possibly walk away with over $5,000 in cash and merchandise!*"
