Quiz 2 Answer
And you didn’t even ask google, Siri or Alexa. Well done!
You resisted and did this quiz 1980s style — without checking the internet first.
Of course, the phone that few carried around in the 1980s except stockbrokers, drug dealers and Michael Douglas in the movie Wall Street is number 1 — the winner!!! This beast of a phone the size of a shoe was first sold in 1983. It is the Motorola Dynatac 8000x. Why is it called the 8000x series? Who knows? It was the first phone to be offered commercially and cost thousands. Why I bring this up is that my character, Mabel, in the mystery Heart of a Runaway Girl, was a single mom and waitress in 1986 and couldn’t afford a phone (and may not even had a canvas purse big enough to carry it — it weighed over 2 pounds). Like other detectives at the time, she had to rely on her wits to get her out of trouble.
Quiz 3 Answer
You wouldn't ask "Where's the beef?" at Mabel's Diner (established 1947). Mabel made her famous, mouth-watering burgers the right way, big helpings with all the fixings. But back in 1986, her burgers cost only $0.77 cents. (Yep, under a buck). Those were the days. Another big thing about Mabel is that she solved a major crime in 1986 in my mystery the Heart of a Runaway Girl. Wanna know more about her?
