Daily Brands Quiz

Daily Brands Quiz brings alive small stories behind products that became part of everyday speech. A charming example is the story of Play-Doh. It was never meant to be a toy at first. In the 1930s it was sold as wallpaper cleaner to wipe soot from walls. When demand for that disappeared, teachers began giving it to children to model shapes. Soon it was rebranded as Play-Doh and became a classroom and household favourite. That change of use turned an overlooked product into a beloved brand. Fascinating bits like this form the essence of famous brand trivia. With its dose of brand name origins MCQ, it is an easy way to learn how ordinary items became extraordinary through their unexpected journeys.
