daily quiz answer
Answer: Its the answer time, albeit a bit late. Anyway, I was hoping that someone might actually get a right entry. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case.
So, here are the answers -

• We have Bibendum, commonly known as the Michelin Man towards the left bottom corner, representing Michelin tyres.
• We have the Kodak Girl towards the right.
• We have Nipper at the bottom, representing HMV.
• We have Johny Walker in the middle, representing the eponymous Scotch whisky.

Rajat and Ayesha got at least two of these characters right.
