I was talking to a friend of mine and she mentioned how the dishes in chain restaurants always have ridiculous names. She thought that a breakfast dish at Baker's Square — called Chorizo Skillet — sounded a bit like a bad band name. Can't you see it now? Hey guys we're going to go see Chorizo Skillet this weekend! I suppose it could be worse; it could be Jimmy Eat World — real band name — or G Love and the Special Sauce — another real band name.
So now tell me, can you identify the real band names from the chain restaurant dishes? If you think you can, then take the quiz!
1 of 10Question 1
Jovovich-Hawk
Shu Uemura
Just Cavalli
Ah, so close. 9/10.
1A band called Jimmie's Chicken Shack...how is that even possible?! I got 8/10 which I thought wasn't too bad as I hadn't heard of any on the bands or foods. Being an Aussie is my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
2Wow--can't believe I got 9/10! Pure luck.
3Jimmie's Chicken Shack was probably one of only band names I've actually ever heard of!
Buttered Noodles... I might have to save that one for my future band name!
4oh well i only got 7 of them right. it's an interesting concept to think about how people come up with names though right?
5Buttered noodles is also on the menu at Noodles & Co.
6Ewww, does Chili's really have something called the Quesadilla Explosion on their menu? Do people buy it?
76/10
Jimmie's Chicken Shack is a band name? why would you call your band like that?
86/10 isn't bad for guessing through the whole thing.
97/10, not too bad, although I DID feel like most of those could have been band names.
10I was surprised that people haven't heard of Jimmies Chicken Shack...but then I remembered that they only had, like, one song on the radio and the only reason that I knew them so well is becuase they are from around my hometown.
yeah, Jimmie's Chicken Shack is the only band I had heard of--they are kind of local. I missed four--not so good. Fun Quiz though.
11Jimmie's Chicken Shack was one of my favorite bands when I was in high school...it's so hilarious to look back on that.
12Wow, I did horrible!
13WOW I am from Chapel Hill, NC and I still got Archers of Loaf wrong!
14I have a live version of "Do Right" that is SO funny. That song's going to be stuck in my head all day now.
15haha - this quiz was funny!
16I didn't even realize I was in the #1 spot until someone sent me a congratulatory gift. I rock!
17I totally guessed and I am 90% - GO ME!
18haha, 7 of 10. which is surprising since i HATE chain restaurants and will only eat at in-n-out (if forced on a road trip) or at outback steak house when it comes to chains. omg, most of those places are so GROSS!
19OMG Yum!! This completely made my day. So funny.
I got 9/10. Thank goodness I saw Archers of Loaf in concert when I was in college...whew
209/10 not bad
21hahahha this was too funny!
22I really thought I would ace this, but I guess 8 out of 10 isn't bad. Now I know what chain restaurant food to use for my next band name.
23I totally thought Dorset Inn was an early-90s emo band. I guess I got them confused with Amber Inn.
24I've heard of String Cheese Incident and Jimmie's Chicken Shack...so I got those right. And the Quesadilla Explosion (only cause a coworker LOVES it...it's a salad BTW...but not a very healthy one
)
But I kinda misunderstood the quiz...I thought the names were of the actual restaurant, not a dish found in a restaurant. That's my excuse for my 50% score!
25Wow I did really well (8/10) and would have only changed 1 (making it 9/10).
26I agree bluesarahlou, I need to pay more attention. Only got 4 correct.
27My friends and I are always coming up with crazy band names. This quiz was too ironic!
289 out of 10. Not too bad.
29Midway through the quiz I forgot whether I was choosing band names or actually names of chain restaurants not dishes at the restaurant. But except for archers of loaf and string cheese incident I guessed.
307/10.
damn.. 5/10
31Bad,bad,bad score....but on the plus side....I guess I'll have to eat out more!
32Haha that was hilarious, but actually really difficult!
33Damn I'm good, and I guessed half of them. Yay me, I should take quizzes more often late at night.
