And n0.6 i'm trying as

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

as well, as other answers seem a bit too specific. No luck with any combinations of the above with the other answers though.

This card is tricky... having posted my failed answers already and looking through what everyone else has tried, the answers could quite easliy evade us depending on how specific we try to be/or they want us to be.

For example no. 2 is quite obviously an aerosol can but on the other hand more specifically it could be WD40. Also no 1. is some sort of hob based coffee maker but again more specifically is it a Bialetti Moka Express.

Anyway i'm sure we''ll get it in the end. Confused

I thought #6 looked like:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
butterflake dinner rolls

Also, Is what you're calling a 'trainer', the same as a 'jogging shoe' in the US?

But what MC calls them, might be another story. Confused

Ok I think we can rule out wd40 because correct me if Im wrong, but wouldn't the straw be on the actual depressor? not halfway down the can?
