Maybe it’s the fact the sun is shining in Northeast Ohio (yes, Akron typically has more cloudy days than Seattle). Maybe it’s because you’re a faithful groupie and you deserve a break. Maybe it’s because school is almost out and – like many of your teachers this time of year, we choose to give total credit to creative answers, whether actually correct or not.
In this contest, we admit that the answer could have been a little bit clearer. So, because we couldn’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak, we’re offering everyone who got close a spin in the hopper. The real deal correct answer was the Toyota Sequoia, but the puns about pines were flying fast. We also accepted guesses including the Subaru Forester, the GMC Sierra, the classic Woody and even the French racecar, the Alpine. Congratulations if you were guessed one of these! You had a chance at a $10 Starbucks gift card.
However, don’t get used to our generosity. Once we come to our senses we’ll be insisting on only correct answers! Here’s the list who found that gift cards really do grow on trees:
