that's actually what makes me think it is wd40...because when you buy it, the straw is attached to the side, not on the depressor. I can't think of any other aerosal cans that come with a red straw...

I'm thinking #2 could be some spray other than WD-40 because that has a *red* cap, opposed to our silver one. I did some Googling and it seems some car stuff (brake cleaner, ball-bearing cleaner, graphite spray, etc) comes in spray cans with red straws. It might be time to take a trip to the auto parts store... But I have to wonder if this is a can that could only be found in the UK? Confused

I think that WD40 might be too specific, as there are definitely other products that come packaged with red straws - even the company that makes WD40 has another product line called 3-In-1 Professional that's packaged the same way. (Check out the oficial site - who knew that there was a WD40 fan club?)

Also, I'm relatively certain that 3 isn't a Clipper - just an ordinary lighter.

Hopefully the answer engine will become a bit more lenient toward almost correct answers. I'd try the most generic possible answers first:

1: Percolator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_percolator)
2: Aerosol
3: Lighter
4: Earphone
5: Shoe/jogger (trainer/runner etc.)
6: Bread ?

It seems like this is a test of patience in inputing answers more than anything else...

I have a feeling that number 3 may not be a lighter, I don't have any suggestions as to what it could be but I just don't think thats what it is.

I think number 4 looks like an old telephone and number 2 definitely looks like a can of WD40 with the red straw however I think Aerosol is more than likely the answer here.

1. I would say coffee pot
2. The bit you push down is quite big compared to the size of the can. deoderants have a small button. How about Air freshner?
3. yes to lighter of some sort
4. I would say definitely an in the ear headphone - i.e Earphone?
5 As this is a UK thing, I dont think sneaker would be an answer. It is a Nike air trainer. Air Max I think? How about Air Bubble or Running shoe/trainer
6.Looks like Streaky Bacon to me

Is it just me or does number 3 actually have string wound around the middle? it looks like black cord, so ... not a lighter!
