Hey everybody, if you get this test, then you are a cultural literacy genious.

What does this list mean to you?
peanut, jelly bean, pork rind, hamburger, pretzel.

What does it mean?  That's not even a very scientific question

What memories does it evoke with you; are you reminded of something of cultural relevence.  It's not a science quiz; it's a mere cultural literacy test.

Oh.  Well, no.  I guess that makes me uh, the opposite of a genius.

Can I get a hint? Does the answer have anything at all to do with The Twilight Zone? More specifically one of the newer episodes that was shot in color.

Yeah me neither. OP's post is rather vague. I'd be nice if he at least dropped a hint, one of us could probably answer it correctly before time's up.

OK, hint.  If you lived with USA news and general media from about 1976 to 2008, you would pick up those items as bits of related trivia.

It's the favorite foods of Carter (or, at least he grew them), Reagan, Bush (he ate pork rinds?), Clinton (HNGGGGG), and Bush (not anymore)

Oh. Is it one answer for each individual item? If so, my guess for peanut would be former President Jimmy Carter, as he and his family owned a peanut farm in Georgia.

Since I'm on the subject of former Presidents, I'm also guessing that "pretzel" is when George W. Bush choked on that pretzel that one day early in his Presidency while asleep.

OP here.  You guys got it.  Each food is popularly associated with consecutive presidents.  Bush Sr. was asked at one point what snack he liked, given that Reagan kept jelly beans around.  He answered pork rinds.  The Clinton meme for a while was that he loved his fast food burgers, getting fat.  This was before the blowjob frenzy in the media.  Jay Leno built his whole career on blowjob jokes until OJ Simpson knifed some people.  And we can infer that Bush Jr. liked pretzels when one almost killed him.

"cultural" literacy you silly sausage.  It's a common phrase.  You can even buy books of catalogued general knowledge with that idea in mind.

Also, it reveals if you have been paying attention if you were alive during those years, or locked up in some dude's love dungeon.
