Amazingly wild teaser! When repeating these, the answers will pop into your head Addictive commercials make these easy for individuals who watch too many ads or listen to radio constantly. Isn't it wild, the way ads have converted our senses?
Ditto! I was thinking how interesting that there are so many phrases that come in threes - probably 'cuz they catch our attention & are easy to remember, like "stop, drop, & roll."
Had never heard of Win, place and show, but I sure had fun solving the others. Fun teaser!
This was fun! Wild threesomes - had trouble with the horserace one also. Guess I haven't been to the track enough! Great Job!
I saw this exact same thing in Readers Digest. did you get it from there cause i was a good one?
I loved this! I just repeated the words over and over until I got it, really fun!
I didn't get the second one though!!

SUMMARILY EASY
Good ones.. I have seen similar ones elsewhere before.. good job if u really made up some of them.. I didn't get 2 & 7; the rest were easy.
awesome! superfun! i especially liked the first second and third.
Very well done teaser...thanks for sharing it.
IMURRAY, You're summarily a crab. Good teaser. Thoughtful and well done.
I had fun, and, I GOT EM ALL!!! yayness!!!
It was much harder than I thought it would be, and, I too got a little hung up on the second, but got it after awhile.
I was wondering about others. Someone above said "stop, drop, and roll", how about:
oh, I should encode these:
Stinkin', Thinkin', Plod
Stood, Sad, Snugly
Goats, Cheese, Scenes
Well, Im sure those won't be so hard, but I couldn't resist trying to come up with some of my own. Gosh, there really ARE so many "groups of three"! Thanks for the fun teaser!
Oh, did I tell ya I GOT EM ALL?!
(yeah, I know)

Can't imagine why anyone would have a negative comment about this teaser. It Was fun, not too hard, not too easy, made you think. That's the reason I come to this site, to work my brain. This teaser did just that. Thanks for sharing this great teaser.
What fun! I got them by just saying the words without the initial sound and then it immediately reminded me of the correct phrase.
I enjoyed yours, too, shawneo.

I got the first ones quickly but stalled on the last. Would you believe it, I live in the city where Kellogg Rice Krispies are made.
Great teaser! Clever..fun..and made me smile!
I got all but the second one. I have never heard of win, place, and show. I really liked the teaser.
How can ImYoMama put such an offensive comment on this site?
I especially liked the esoteric snap, crackle, and pop.
Got all but win, place and show....and I was just at the track yesterday!
did not even know they were that mening things in that format till i looked at answer
My thinker was on the blink! I added to my favorites though. I like this one.
What are the rules on Braingle concerning plagiarism? These are taken (stolen) directly from a puzzle by Will Shortz that appeared in a recent Reader's Digest. - Shame on you Hana.

GAME NET MATCH?
Hiow about flake tattle soul?
nice!
Easy except no. 2. I'd never heard of that one.
Hey cool, now I don't feel so bad about not knowing #2. Got the rest though. Yippee.
Sounding them out,makes this quite easy.
I'd never heard of #2 either.
Took me a bit to get win, place, show. Great teaser!
I've always heard "win, place, OR show", not "win, place, AND show", but what the hey.
Very fun teaser. Loved it.
Fun teaser!! Just missed #2.
great one. i only looked at the first and the rice krispies one. got the latter. and only the latter. great one though!! you know, if this is REALLY plagiarism, the dumb guy should be happy that his thing is on the internet. more publicity. THINK, PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT OTHERWISE! ! ! !
no offense, or anything. i got all riled up, sorry.
Easy, fun, and thanks!
Very easy. Do u agree GW?
Fun!
It was fun but some of the things did not rhyme so had a hard time with some of them. Crawl and small? I got it anyway but come on. Had fun and that was the main thing. I liked some that were posted as comments.
sorry it was sprawl and small that didn't rhyme and some others. Sorry I'm so picky thought it was fun.
To Iggy 39: If you're going to be picky, at least be right. Sprawl is a perfect rhyme for small, as you will discover if you consult any decent rhyming dictionary.
I got 6 - I thought prin, lace and bow for 2- wasn't to be this time. Fun!
simple, yet fun
I got it by repeating the second half of the words.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly.
I got 6/7, good teaser!
