Eve, I'm not sure of numbers 12, and 21 although I think I have an idea about 21....13 is also questionable for me. The others present no problems....

I'm on the cusp of Boomer and Gen X so quite a few of these are early memories for me. 15 for example took me some real thinking before I remembered. Don't know 2, 9, 13, 16, 17, 20 or 21. Wondering if there's more to 14 or 19 than the obvious answer, like there's a brand I should be familiar with that I'm not?
Thanks so much. I've forwarded the photo quiz to friends who might know these things better than I do.
