I may not have your answer, but someone will. ;)

Here's my question:

What one word resulted in an explosion in shampoo sales?

19. LeftyMom is right! . . . At least as far as I know. . . .
I looked for it on Snopes, but all I could find was this, in an only semi-related article:

Nearly everyone has heard the tale of the clever marketing man who doubled his company's sales of their shampoo product by adding the final word to the instructions "Lather. Rinse. Repeat."

14. Probably, "You've got to be kidding me!"
I have no idea if that's right, but it's by far McEnroe's most famous quote so I'll take my chances. It was during the outburst to a Wimbledon chair umpire.

Ironic because my best sports trivia question also involves John McEnroe. It's ruined on the internet because it's simple to look up, but no one has ever gotten the answer correct in person:

"John McEnroe played in 5 straight Wimbledon finals between 1980 and 1984. Two of the matches were against Bjorn Borg, and two against Jimmy Connors. But who did McEnroe face in the other final?"

You'll get every name in the world, tennis players who were in that era or 20 years in either direction, but only one person had the right idea and I finally had to give him the answer after he remembered th guy and where he was from, but not the name.

13. Johannes Keppler was the first to can beer, in 1595.
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 08:21 PM by Rabrrrrrr
He called it "Heliocentic Weissbeer" and then two years later he introduced "Mysterium Cosmographicum Creamy Dark Bock"
