There's only one of those that's GUESSABLE just from looking. I mean, the syrup has it in the name, but it's still a fact that you have to be told at some point.

I am TORN between two and three, mainly because both seem obvious to me.

The Pokeman one isn't even in it. If you don't have kids or like anime/manga and are annoyed by loud squeaky cartoons and actively avoid them, then you have no hope. I *might* recognize the major yellow character (he's Pokeman, right?), but that's it.

The paper one is... blindingly obvious.

The syrup one is blindingly obvious to people that live/grew up in New England, perhaps a bit less so for other people (even though "maple" is right in the name).

The major yellow character is, in fact, Pikachu - who is a Pokemon, or battle monster (which I know mainly through fannish osmosis, but also through having watched the Pikachu 'Bitches Love Me' vid, uh, a fair number of times). If you want to know ONE Pokemon, though, I suggest Squirtle, because there's a delightful kids' book called 'Come Out, Squirtle' out there.

Two, for sure, because you can get the general concept through some minor deductive reasoning - like, even if you don't know that cupcakes get made by baking, specifically, you can see that the way that the cake sticks to the wrapper shows that the wrapper was in place BEFORE the cake became cake

I chose #3, because you said most embarrassing, not most baffling.

Though frankly, the reaction of someone to someone who doesn't know a pokemon might be the most embarrassing.
