Hello people,
Sorry for missing the deadline to start the quiz! Anyway, better late than never! So here goes...
1. Simple one to start with. Who was the first Indian Cricketer to endorse a product? Name the product too. (1/2 points for each.)
2. This company was started in 1786 by Henry Overton I and later run by his two sons William Day and Henry Overton. Their first brand was named after the place where the company was founded. Many more brands followed of which quite a few are in use even today and are very commonplace. One unique feature is that the names of the founders of the company can be found on each and every unit of the product. What am I talking about?
3. Identify. A bonus point if you can tell me what he created!
