Question: What product unveiled an ad in 1928 saying "Nothing exceeds halitosis as a social disease?" Kim Hanisak, center right, and her teammates Scott Havens, left, Nicholas Holifield and Justin Lallinger ponder that and nine other head-scratching questions in the first round of trivia night at City Beverage in Durham. Having played every week since last September, the team -- whose name is too vulgar for the P.C. police but not vulgar enough to win the 'best team name' category for the night -- usually place in the top five. They've won about a dozen times since that fateful evening when they walked in for coffee and stumbled upon what would soon become their regular Wednesday night foray into arcane cultural references with teasingly tip-of-the-tongue answers. They tied for fifth place on this night. Not their best outing, but they did know the answer to the aforementioned question: Listerine.
