Founded in 2013, the brand started by selling homemade cookies. As it grew in
popularity, it slowly expanded its range of products to brownies, milkshakes,
cakes, and other desserts.
Apart from being indicative of the kind of products it sells, the brand's three-
worded name also references a European crew that was quite the rave in 2013
amongst music listeners.
Work out the pun.

X's products were popular amongst the American military. They played an
integral role in the Vietnamese War. Apart from being used by the soldiers for
their conventional usage, they were also used as weapons involving fire.
Burning down a hooch or a village was widely known as an "X job," an "X mission",
or an "X raid." Grunts who specialised in performing these fiery missions
sometimes were called "X squads." The army's flame-throwing tanks and
armoured personnel carriers were commonly called "X tracks."
Besides being used as weapons, they also helped pop the soldiers' TV-time
popcorn. Their shiny surfaces also acted as tiny mirrors for shaving in the bush.
Give X.

In 2015, the company celebrated its iconic design centenary by launching a
global marketing campaign.
One of the most famous designs of all time, it was created to stop the
efforts of copycat brands.
The campaign is titled ‘Ive kissed…” and features Elvis Presley, Marilyn
Monroe and Ray Charles being ‘kissed by’ the product – the idea being that
anyone can kiss happiness by using that product.

A Reddit user explained the technical reason behind an observation:
This is because they use satellite connections instead of terrestrial connections
(which most phone and internet connections use).
The advantage of satellite connections is that they are available all over the
world (even in extremely remote areas).
If you use a terrestrial connection, you are severely limited in bandwidth
availability and can only make the call in locations where service is offered by
your home network.
The disadvantage of satellite connections, of course, is the _____.
What is the question being answered here? Or simply, what is the oddity
resulting from the disadvantage of satellite connections?

With the advent of television in the 1950s, began a compatibility problem between the wide-screened
cinemas and the small screens.
Initially, cropping the video to fit the television screens worked, but the compromise could not
continue for long owing to the increasing popularity of home video.
Finally, this problem was solved by a practice that is the norm today, but for decades, it was a hard
sell to consumers, who believed they were missing something.
The name of the practice comes from the shape of an object: rectangular and wider than it is high.
Quite aptly, a New Zealand-based service is also named after it, given its apparent connection with
films.
How was the problem of incompatibility solved? What is the practice called? What is the service
called?

‘Losing ____’ is a documentary film that talks about what is dubbed as "Tech's
Original Sin”.
It aims to correct a certain deed done by computer scientists back in the 70s as
part of their experiments. Unfortunately, the specimen can still be seen in
journals, educational resources and books that are taught to young men and
women in schools and universities.
The film explores this issue and binds it together with many similar challenges
and biases women in tech have experienced around the world. It ends on a
hopeful note as it shows the success of incredible digital women.

The app generated a buzz when it announced the introduction of a certain
verification badge.
The move was to tackle dishonesty. It found a major section of its users lying
about a certain aspect of themselves hoping to reap benefits from the app.
The verification check involved users uploading a picture of them standing next
to any commercial building, which would then be processed by a state-of-the-art
algorithm.
However, it was later revealed to be an April Fool's prank.
What app? What is being verified?

The Blades Grim is a company that manufactures personal care and grooming
products. The one shown in the image belongs to a new line manufactured by
them.
This line of products encourages a minimal approach to shaving. They believe
that more blades are not the answer to a better, closer shave, hence this product
features only a single blade.
It claims to be more hygienic, economic, gimmick-less and safer than its cartridge
and electric alternatives.
Simply, tell me what is the product called.

The name of the condition was coined in a medical paper published in 1981,
titled 'X Wrist'.
The affliction in the wrist was attributed to the prolonged involvement with a
revolutionary media. Owing to its popularity among kids, by the following year,
each family doctor in London, typically now saw one new case of 'X Wrist' every
month.
However, as the design of technological instruments got more ergonomic over
the years, the condition isn't very common these days.

According to a website called Agents of Ishq, which recently surveyed 100 Indian
women to find out their sexual behaviour and practices, X's found a surprising
mention whenever the women talked about masturbation. When the women
were asked how they masturbated a number of them apparently pointed
towards an X.
"So, vibrators and sex toys... But this pageant had a surprise winner - the old X
made several appearances on this survey! We have no idea why that company is
not the market leader after this," notes the Ishq website.
Although there is nothing scientific about why an X would make for a good sex
toy, it is apparently because of the strong vibrating engine inside it.

"Pizza Party" is a fun tool created by programmer Michael Frumin to order
Domino's pizzas via the X.
The README on GitHub goes like this:
"This software is written for junkies who spend so much time at the X that they
don't have time to pick up the phone and call Domino's or even to go through
the many-step process of using Domino's web interface."
What unique way of ordering a Domino's pizza did Frumin come up with?

The Czechoslovakian variant, invented during the 80s, has some peculiar
changes, with the theme revolving around horseracing. In the
Czechoslovakian version, people were expected to set up stables, hire
trainers, place bets, and draw a lottery for finances.
Whose version/variant is being talked about?
Why was its premise changed to horseracing in Czechoslovakia?

X was totally man-made, totally avoidable. There were several incidents in the
past where it was proven that X was a bad idea. Nonetheless, the operators went
ahead with X, adopting the maxim "this time is different". This maxim is often
used in a different field, where terrible incidents keep unfolding but those in
charge refuse to learn from these lessons, much like the operators of X.
This was the reasoning given by an organization, which has been in the news
recently, to explain the origins of its name. The organisation looks for similar
man-made disasters floating around and aims to shed light on them before they
lure in more unsuspecting victims.

Below is a verse from a self-composed ghazal by classical singer Mangal Mishra.
It became famous when a few lines of it were used in _________.
हवासे भी कर बातें लेकिन,
राज चुप्पी का उलझना सीख |
वक्त जंजीर सबके पाव की,
मुस्कु राकर लेहेरना सीख |
कौन जाने किस घडी तूफान की,
बन कलि मौज में बहरना सीख |
करोगे पार समंदर चंदर,
अश्क के झील मेंउतरना सीख
Where have you heard this, few years ago?

In 2013, a defendant in a US court case used the word “jack” in reference to his team,
“the jack boys", which confused the Court.
When a district court received a complaint that someone threatened to “murk” someone
else, they faced similar confusion.
As did a Judge who did not understand what “to nut” meant when it was used in texts
submitted as evidence.
In these as well as other such instances, a particular witness was relied upon to give
clarity to these terms. Though the witness is usually associated with humour and
outlandishness, these instances proved the witness' usefulness in understanding certain
terms.
ID the witness.
