15 Years Ago, Inaccurate Post-it Trivia Put Fox’s ‘Million Dollar Money Drop’ in a Sticky Situation

If the researchers of Million Dollar Money Drop were thinking about Post-it notes, perhaps they could have used a Post-it reminder to double-check their work. For it was a trivia question about the adhesive stationery that caused a stink for the Fox game show 15 years ago now. Debuting on December 20, 2010, Million Dollar Money Drop was unique in that it gave contestants the jackpot upfront. Each team of two was awarded $1 million at the start of the game but then had to answer seven multiple-choice trivia questions correctly to keep that not-so-small fortune. For each question, the teams had to bet their remaining money on the answer (or answers) they believed might be correct.
