Can I say that the answer is clever, but there are way to many answers that could be right. My first instict was trash. The eco friendly side of me I guess.

*instinct.... did I mention I can not type.. lol
I thought this was short and pretty good. A nice teaser snack for late in the evening. When I asked my daughter, her answer was "children". Funny! Lots of good alternatives in the comments .. I thought her answer was pretty good to. Is she thinking of knocking me off or something?

Why, I don't know, but I was thinking of Lucy Recardo and bread dough at first, till I remembered foot prints in the snow. Cool One.
i thought CO2 at first too. then i remembered this riddle in "263 BrainBusters".
Still, VERY nice riddle violingirl!
Still, VERY nice riddle violingirl!
What are Spondoolicks?
I suppose just about everything we make, we end up leaving behind.
COOL!
THE ANSWER COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN MONEY,CAUSE YOU CAN'T IT WITH YOU.
i was surprised noone had heard this before . this riddle is very cute but in my experience this was the joke the smartalecky kid in your fourth grade class told .
maybe i shouldn't have let you guys in on that and just said that i got it right !!!!
maybe i shouldn't have let you guys in on that and just said that i got it right !!!!
Great one! My first thought was photos..
Agree with others that there are too many possible answers. Mine was "mess." BTW, "Spondulix" is an old term for money.
Very cute!
Short & sweet, thanks.

Okay, so I'm not the only one who thought memories. Good job!
Ok then,
I'm absolutely positive that was silly

And we shall call it the Teasing adventures of Vigo and the Huevos

We will seek out and verbally punish all those that submit lame teasers.
Prepare to feel the verbal wrath!!!!!
Ahhh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Very clever. I guess numbers or words.
k, gjpu4n1985JFSPOK! Sorry, the cat jumped on my keyboard!!!! Very easy riddle, but my mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, and friend all thought it was poo.
Keep 'em coming, violingirl.
P.S. BESA, break it up. Who cares about egg beaters, you fools? I have a chainsaw!!!
Keep 'em coming, violingirl.

I mean VIRG95 too.
I mean Vigo95. I couldn't remember. I will thwart you with my boom-box!!!
nice and simple just how i like it
wow that was so simple yet so complicated just goes to show how much we can over think things!!!
I remember seeing a sign in a state park kind of simular. It was "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints!" I thought it was cool..
REMINDS ME OF "FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND".
I LIKE THIS ONE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
I LIKE THIS ONE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Thanks for the great teaser -- I actually thought "skin cells" .. see how we over think things?? Thanks for the fun and keep them coming.
Enjoyed most of the comments. I also thought it was freinds, but I love Footprints in the Sand so am very satisfied with this answer, although many do apply. Vigo and Besa, for once you guys made your challanges entertaining. Much nicer than the negative thoughts. But rather than an egg beater you need a hungry squirrel.
I agree with VLERMA. I laughed for 10 min after reading your argument!!! And, by the way, who cares about boom-boxes. I WILL THWART YOU WITH MY MIGHTY TRASH CAN!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS ONE, VIGO95!!! BESA, YOUR WRATH IS A PEANUT COMPARED WITH MY WAR ELEPHANT OF A TEMPER!!!
VLERMA . BENJAM .
you're on my list !
you're on my list !
Cute!!!!
Fun teaser. I thought of miles travelled.
Great teaser! I was one of the many who thought it was money! I guess I'm still thinking of tax time and all the overtime I've been working lately!
I thought that anything we make we leave behind, so the answer could be "ANYTHING."
WHAT ABOUT LOVE?
I didn't get it either. I was not thinking on the same line as anyone else. Oh well. Good job.
I agree with many others...there are alot of "right" answers. I personally thought it was hair. The more you have the more there is to loose.
Short and sweet
I am shocked and pleased, yea Imurray.
Fun but easy teaser
Fun but easy teaser

I thought for sure I had it with, "PROGRESS"
My first thought was money. Guess if you think about it, it could be a lot of answers,, including love Imurray.
Cute Teaser!
there was to many posiable answers to this riddle .so i say any answer was a correckt one...
keep up the good work tho at least it was a better one then some of the others i have read
Easy, but fun to think about! Hmm! Everyone seems to be coming up with other answers! Apparently, this teaser is getting them to use their heads! WTG Keep these a coming!
The more money I make, the more I spend and leave behind! Oh well, good teaser anyway!!
I agree with Puttumup, and I am LOL over the other comments
loved it!
My first guess was a hole - still sounds good to me
Loved it!
My guess was MEMORIES.
My guess was MEMORIES.
Loved it, although my thought was HISTORY....
Yeah, it was cute, but a little - no a lot - too vague.
my first thought was "a mess"
no coffee yet...
good job!
no coffee yet...
good job!
"Take only pictures.
Leave only footprints.
Kill nothing but time."
--Sign at a nature exhibit.
Leave only footprints.
Kill nothing but time."
--Sign at a nature exhibit.
LOL... at first I thought it was something that had to do with the natural process of the human body... because of "leave behind"... and... well... I think you get my drift. >_>;
That was my first thought, also, Thresh. Bodily function
oops, Thrash, spelled it wrong
great! my first thought was money
WHEW! I wasn't the only one thinking bodily functions. In particular, I was thinking, uh, .. ..... gas. But I knew that couldn't be right, so I kept thinking.
My "final answer" was TIME. You can make time for things, but you're always leaving more behind... *shrug* it worked for me. Many of the answers given would've worked, because it's just too open. Oh well, what can we do except count ourselves as right if we want, right?
I also love that someone quoted the nature sign; I always think about it when I'm out on a hike! Except I take not only pictures, but I always make sure to take a few pieces of garbage out of there, because there's always some...

I love riddles keep em coming!
lol the thing is it could be a lotta stuff,
but i was so sure that the answer was "poop"
but i was so sure that the answer was "poop"
I thought it was memories. Good idea, but the riddle needs to be longer so there aren't so many right answers...
i though it was good and dont listen to the comment above this! it was awesome
Yep.......easy, but it was fun.
I found it awfully ambiguous. I was thinking "debt".
haha, i thought it was "friends"
ya just a little to simple i think. but still good. i thought of something that i wont mention.
I thought it was idea but my idea was the wrong thought!
Nice- short, sweet, and to the point, and not too hard.
I said footsteps. Close enough
for me.
for me.
hate to give my age away but I remember that one from kid years. still good tho.
A good start, but I think you need another stanza. I had thought "a mess," which fits as well as the original answer. Skimming the comments, I see a number of people had other, equally good guesses.
Maybe something like,
I can be wet or I can be dry.
I'm a hole or a mound (but not very high).
(mud or sand, or prints on the floor)

I thought the Teaser had its merits. It could be many things that one makes and leave behind.
I do like Mess. I don't like Mess, but its a thought, one I would leave behind. One makes many thoughts or create many thoughts and leave them behind.
It is a good teaser.

All I could think of was trash. Well, actually there were a lot more possibilities -- too many really. The riddle needed a qualifier to narrow the field down.
Heard this one too many times
Good one. Did no one else guess history ?
Fun!
I think GAS would have been a better answer.
People came up with lots of alternative answers, and I didn't get any of them.
Icame up with "trash"
But, "footprints" fits the riddle better
It could have been a lot of things.
Oh, well. Thanks for posting.

Wow! That was way too easy! Took me about 30 seconds to figure that one out. I liked it though. It made me smile
My answer was car emissions.
Group me with the people that guesssed money.
The editors have really tightened up the regulations for approving a teaser it would seem. I have had numerous teasers rejected in the last number of months based on "too many possible answers" that had no where near as many impossibles as this one does.
This one was very weak and worn out.
'Flatulence' seems like the most obvious answer here.
Numerous answers would be appropriate: dust, speed, distance, even abdominal gas?
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it right away.
