A fig

Another logical presumption, but also no.

Mildly unsettling lol

I'm looking for a commercial, specifically, that popularized this meme.

I mean I guess you could blame it on the sharks. Maybe Riptser did not appreciate being a subject of trivia.

Samuel Wilson the meat packer. he supplied beef to the US soldiers during the war and the U.S. on the side came to mean uncle sam's rather than united states.

I love this myth, I really do, and it is close, but this just isn't the answer.

uh I'd like to challenge you on this not for points or anything but just to ask what are your sources? Not many is known about food in ancient greece, let alone mycenean times, so what other fruit can be other than pomegranates or figs?
(my source is myself and my uni classes on greece)

Name five deities for whom lust/physical love is amongst their main tasks or domain.

Okay let's see, uh, <:/
Aphrodite greek goddess of love, romance, sex, beauty.
I think Eros is one greek god of sex and desire.
Does Pan the satyr god, who chases after nymphs and is sexually deviant count as a god?
I remember Kem was some god in Egyptian mythology with an erection all the time that looked like Osiris but wasn't. o___o;
And does Zeus count? Because he was like, the king of having sex with like anything and anyone female. <x}

Zeus was just a horny mofo

That sounds reasonable, but isn't he (along with his brothers) a bit of a nerd? He's an engineer, or something. Trivia might be a hobby of his!
