Speaker 3

And your Big Bang question getting the categories transportation and curiosities. Made by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen since nineteen seventy three, What is Volkswagen original part number one nine nine three nine eight five zero zero A?

Speaker 3

Let's hit the ball? Question two? What six letter B word is a colloquial term for an excellent song that is good for dancing to? That's a banger?

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

Question three?

Speaker 1

What first name is shared by famous figures with the last names Zappa, Lingela and Capra?

Speaker 3

Frank And finally, made by the German car manufacturer of Volkswagen since nineteen seventy three, what is Volkswagen original Park number one nine nine three nine eight five zero zero A? The same thing that bangers? Links? And franks are sausage, so we we could also accept currywurst or backwurst. But this is a sausage that's made at the plant. It's been made since nineteen seventy three for the workers there, and then people liked it so much that they decided

to sell it outside the plant. I guess, just to my understanding.

Speaker 1

I thought they like called one of the parts in the car.

Speaker 3

The manual stick for shifting gears the sausage part. Now, this is an actual food item and it's popular, I think from my understanding of reading it, that's a fun one that you know, you could go into a little detail about if you looked it up. But yeah, apparently the part number ascribed to it was kind of a tongue in cheek.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that's it's always fun when the corporation has a little sense of humor that somebody in there got to have a little fun. That's fun. So it's like the Ikea meatball, but it's a sausage and it has a part.

Speaker 3

Number, I guess. So I don't know if Ikea made meat balls for its employees first.

Speaker 1

Or not, but yeah, I don't know the history of the Ikea meatball. Something to look up.

Speaker 3

Never had one.

Speaker 1

No, we tried one, so they were out.

Speaker 3

We were too late. Ikea, ikea.

Speaker 1

I guess it gives us something to look forward to in life.

Speaker 3
