YAY! Germany!
I knew the germans were trying to posion our food! And the CIA thought that we were crazy!
Good riddle, by the way.

i really liked the originality of this teaser, and it was really good, but i surprisingly got it at first sight
Uhh, originality? You must be new silverblade. I think I was the third person to submit teasers of this nature. Check out dsquared and Bobbrt for more.
this one was harder than some of the other ones like this
cool
I really enjoyed this one and figured out the words. Very good teaser.
I like this one, as all in the genre. Keep them coming.
EZ
I didn't get this one, but it was a good one. I never would have figured out this teaser on my own. Brain cells are dying in bunches.
Took a minute but fairly simple. Fun too!!
Also took me a minute to figure out, but I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting .
NICE1!!!
That was fun! Give us more!
i must admit that that was actually pretty easy, although it wasn't completely boring. it was a good teaser, one of those 'quickies' when you don't have a lot of time but craving that little brain boost. keep it up!
I got this right away (tryed "any" first, which led quickly to the answer), but I've never heard of anyone refer to germ counts in food so I don't know that it makes sense. I've always heard the word bacteria used, and yes I know bacteria and germs are synonyms, maybe I'm being too picky.
I got the word "any", but never heard of germ count so rejected Germany. I was wrong, but oh well. These terms sometimes are not always know to dummies like me.
Based on the example, I was looking for a compound word, so even when I got 'any', I couldn't get to your solution.
Nice and easy, and enjoyable.
Quick and easy, although I'm not sure if I would have understood the directions without the example.
I loved that one! Very clever.
Very nice!
Again did not know I had done it before and this time I got it right away. I guess age makes you smarter.
Ha! I liked it also!
Ha! I liked it also!
easy, but fun
without the example, I would have never gotten it, I kept want t
Loved it!
Nice fun teaser, thanks!
Although, it was somewhat contrived, and unrealistic?
