As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Gabe and Brittany lost $800,000 on the FOX show on Monday night after giving a supposedly incorrect answer about the first sale date of Post-It notes – but was the answer truly incorrect?
“At the time, I thought
was correct,” Gabe told Kit Hoover and guest co-host Lisa Rinna when he stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday. “I guess it wasn’t.”
On the game show, the couple was asked which product was first to be sold in stores in the U.S.: Post-It Notes, the Macintosh computer, or the Walkman. The duo chose Post-It Notes, and watched as $800,000 of their winnings disappeared – but the couple was technically correct, as the sticky notes were market tested in stores in four cities in 1977, beating the Walkman, which hit stores in 1979.
“I went on the Internet , and I researched all of the questions , and one came up,” Gabe told Kit and Lisa. “I was kind of taken aback by it because I thought the answer was a little it earlier, but… trust that FOX did their research on it.”
