BONUS Q: What is a “onesie?”
Onesies® is actually a brand name of the one-piece, t-shirt-like baby garment
that has snaps at the crotch to keep it from riding up and exposing the baby’s tummy.
Though many people refer to all of these one-piece outfits as Onesies®,
only the Gerber company actually owns the rights to that name.

Hi JCB—

Great answers and nice job on the bonus Q. Take a look at the list again and don’t forget the clues I’ve given you, ie many are kid’s industry specific (like this website). The photo may help you out with an answer too.

Nice job Smile
Do you know what the acronym for #6 stands for? ABC? “All — — —”

12 is not a trade show to my knowledge, try again or send me the link, spell out the acronym and I’ll give you credit…
