Must be racist terrorists...

On an American game show called "Million Dollar Money Drop", this couple had $880 000 to put on which thing was sold first: Macintosh computers, Sony Walkman or Post Its... The guy puts 800k on post it notes and the rest on Sony Walkman after some debating with his baby mama, only to see it fall dramatically in the chamber of doom. Kevin Polak (the host) then says that they first started selling post it notes in 1980. Right after, the Macintosh door opens and nothing falls through and the host casually announces that they started selling Sony Walkman in 1979.



Apparently, 3M did not make an error and accurately informed the show that they started selling them in 1980. So they were wrong, even after continued speculation of the contrary. A few days later, 3M comes back to the show's executive producer and says that they actually tested the market in the late 1970's under the name "Press N Peel" and started selling them as Post Its in 1979, only to begin selling them nationwide in 1980. So technically, the couple was right (by a slight margin, given that Walkman started selling a few months later, I'm assuming). However, what the video doesn't show is that they ended up messing up the last question and lost all their money, so it doesn't really matter if they made a mistake or not but still... they're pretty fucking retarded if you ask me.
