Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In April 2010 this well-known female politician publicly proclaimed that "Someone had better tell Washington that the "pink elephant" is on the move"?

Answer: Sarah Palin

This bit of political wisdom came from the mouth of Sarah Palin while she was at a campaign-rally for Minnesota Congresswomen Michele Bachmann. I am not sure that wisdom is the proper word to have used in the previous sentence.

2. "Seeing pink elephants" is slang for what?

Answer: Having alcoholic hallucinations

Seeing pink elephants means hallucinating while under the effects of alcohol. It can also be caused by delirium tremens or alcohol withdrawal. The phrase is used in the movie "Dumbo" after he unknowingly drinks champagne from a water bucket. The phrase originated in Victorian England.

3. Which popular Australian musician released an album called "Pink Elephants" in 1997?

Answer: Mick Harvey

Answer: Blatant, obvious and awkward

"Pink Elephant" heroin is made by mixing heroin with a powerful synthetic laced with fentanyl. The name possible comes from the hallucinogenic affects this drug can have. It has nothing to do with the color of the drug, though often it is pink to match the name.
