The 'gift round' of the GQL. A.K.A. Taufa Taufa

2. 1. Usually taken to be a substitute for
the profanity "bollocks". This use was exploited by the
company in a 1990s advertising campaign, in which a
harassed housewife exclaims “X" in a context where a
stronger term could have been expected, thus widening
the term's exposure and usage for a while. This
substitution in the form of a singular noun is also used to
refer to a minor disaster or shambles, as in 'to make a
complete X of something'.
The X Mountains are a mountain range in the Transantarctic
Mountains of Antarctica, lying eastward of Reedy Glacier and
including the Wisconsin Range, Long Hills and Ohio Range.
Give me X.

4. 2. In the United Kingdom in the 1990s, an
advertisement series was based upon a party in a
European ambassador's official residence and it
has been repeatedly parodied in popular culture
since. The opening voice-over (by UK
actor Jonathan Kydd) explains, "The
Ambassador's receptions are noted in society for
their host's exquisite taste that captivates his
guests". This is followed with on-screen comments
from guests such as "Eccellente!" and "Monsieur,
with these X, you are really spoiling us!" These
remain widely recognised and quoted in the United
Kingdom. The concept of a butler wandering
between party guests holding a silver tray with a
pyramid of X has become a trope and a popular
stereotype of diplomacy in general. Give me X.

6. 3. The X affair was a Swedish political scandal in
October 1995, in which, became public
knowledge that the Socialist politician Mona
Sahlin during her time as a Minister of Labour,
on several occasions used the state’s credit
card for private expenses. She bought good,
rented cars for private, bought groceries.
Among the goods purchased were two Xs,
which gave the scandal the name the X affair.
What was it popularly called?

8. 4. X originated as a result of difficulties importing Y
into Nazi Germany during World War II due to a
trade embargo. To circumvent this, Max Keith, the
head of Y Deutschland during the Second World
War, decided to create a new product for the
German market, using only ingredients available in
Germany at the time,
including whey and pomace – the "leftovers of
leftovers", as Keith later recalled. The name was
the result of a brief brainstorming session, which
started with Keith's exhorting his team to "use their
imagination" , to which one of his salesmen, Joe
Knipp, immediately retorted “X!” Give me X and Y.

10. Chipsy – Egypt
Poca – Vietnam
Margarita – Colombia
Hostess – Canada
Tapuchips – Israel
What am I talking about?

12. 6. X were apparently being, and are still being melted
to convert them into Y and then being sold in small
villages throughout the country and also being
smuggled from India across to neighbouring
countries such as Bangladesh, Myanmar and
Nepal. It was estimated that the volume of this
activity was one of the major reasons for the
shortage of X and its other varieties and prompted
its banning in 2010. Police raids in 2009 and 2010
had revealed that several such shops in Calcutta
engaged in smuggling and selling these. This
prompted the government to change the
composition of X itself.
Identify X and Y.
