I think I may have come up with one that will stump you for a while, but I had to cheat to do it. You’ll see what I mean when all is revealed.
I think “Baskin and Robbins” and “Bilbo and Sauron” are both correct answers, or at least they would be if I were not cheating. As we say in racket sports, “I have to call it ‘in,’ because I can’t call it ‘out.'”
And “Spanish fly” is also ingenious, albeit not a pair.
Total spoiler:
Maybe you would have gotten it if I had used these two instead (or in addition to):
I had to google to get this…
Baskin-Robbins?
No.
I really had to cheat on this one, so you have to think outside the box.
To be fair, I think it is almost impossible. I don’t think I could get it if I had not created it.
May I ask – where did the “Robbins” cone from?
Reuben Robin is founder and CEO of Concord Companies, Robin Herd worked on the Concorde project, and Robin Edgar works for Concorde Holdings Incorporated
The Basque flag and Robins
Wow! Genius! I suppose that is a better answer than mine. Just like the other guess of Bilbo and Sauron, your score is an A Plus, because I have to admit that is a correct answer, or at least it would be if I were not cheating.
Well, now I’m really going to give it away, or at least I would be if I were not completely cheating … you actually have the two correct words in what you just wrote, although Robin or Robbins is not one of them.
Bilbo and Sauron?
No. That is quite a brilliant answer that I would not have thought of. You should be on my side of the desk! “Bilbao” and “Soarin’,” right? Genius!! I really have to admit that your answer would be a right one if I were playing fair. ‘
Which I’m not.
You still get an A Plus on your report card, because the teacher is not supposed to be fuckin’ witcha.
Another guy came up with Baskin’ and Robbins, which is also a great solution I had not thought of, although I get it now that he explained it to me. A lot of very smart people read this dumb blog!
No.

I know what they are, but combined they make no sense.
Yes, that’s why it is a cheat. Even if I type the two exact words, and even if you connect them with “and,” it still requires thinking outside the box. Way outside.
If you say it’s Spanish Fly I’m gonna give you SUCH a pinch.
That’s a logical enough guess, but no.
I’m going to give the answer away, but I think you may be the only one who gets it because I think you might already have the two words.
Oh, you’re going to be more upset than you would be with “Spanish fly.” Let me put it this way: If you could hear my voice instead of reading my typing, the answer would be obvious, and the trick I played on you is one I could never get away with again.
I get it (dear God that was a reach) but not what they mean combined.
Unless it’s just “pears”. Or a pair of pears.
Combined, “Bosc and Concorde” or “Bartlett and Anjou” are not “famous pairs” if I type it out, but they are if I say it aloud. They are “famous pears.”
I’ve got this wonderful hefty bag just full of dicks which you can dine upon at your leisure.
