BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.

This week’s riddle was first shared earlier this year on the NPR show Sunday Puzzle and riddles from this show can be tough so pull in a friend or two for help if you need it.

This week’s riddle: These are two well-known commercial brands that have five letters. Both brands are anagrams of each other. One is most likely kept in your bathroom, and the second is most likely in your refrigerator. Name these brands.

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.
