The question was 'Which of these brands was founded in the State of Texas? The three choices were quite misleading and the couple lost some cash in the process of elimination. The possible answers were Old El Paso, Alamo Rent a Car and Texaco.
The correct answer for the evening was Texaco. You might be asking yourself where was Texaco founded? According to the Internet, the Texas Fuel Company, founded in 1901 in Beaumont, Texas, by Joseph S. Cullinan, Thomas J. Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, and Arnold Schlaet upon discovery of oil at Spindletop. The company sold gas in all 50 states and was independent until it merged in 2001.
The 'Cheat Sheet' for the Million Dollar Money Drop question number 5 is:
