1. Everybody is one the right track, but still incorrect.
2. I remember the phrase, but not the product. I was hoping someone else would know that one. I do remember it was a fake finger.
3. Manhandlers was actually part of the phrase. I didn't add that cause I thought that would give it away.
4. keep trying, it'll come to you
5,6 & 7 too easy.
8. keep trying, it'll come to you
9, 10 & 11 way too easy
12. A bit harder, but here's a clue "blue lagoon"
