Final Jeopardy Answer for October 7
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on October 7, 2024 is “What is Coca-Cola?”
As noted by the official Coca-Cola website, Frank M Robinson was responsible for coming with the name “Coca-Cola” in 1886 and believed that “the two Cs would look well in advertising.” The following year, he ultimately settled for a font called Spencerian script, which was considered the American standard writing style for business correspondence before the introduction of the typewriter.
Its cursive, handwritten style stuck, and though the logo was altered to its current state in 1950, it retains the hallmarks of the Spencerian script. The car brand Ford also uses Spencerian script for its logo.
