Lisa at the costume party...


I've been trying for years to figure out what her costume was. Ketchup bottle on one wrist, mustard on the other, green dress, but what was she? I've gone through hot dog stand, french fries, but can't solve it. Does anyone know? A small point in a great movie, but thanks!

I've seen this movie about 100 times and I still have no idea!

OMG, thank you for sharing in my torture! : > At least someone feels the same way! Oh, well, maybe we'll never know. But thanks for responding! I"m not alone in wondering! : )

I think she's supposed to be a partially-eaten sandwich. The front facade of her costume looks like a slice of bread with several bites taken out of it; and at the top, it looks like a bit of Swiss cheese showing.

Agree, torturous! Haven't been able to figure it out either! Sounds like om in good company!

I guess we'll never know...hey, at least we're in good company! : >

I think it is a sandwich...I've read the book quite a few years ago and that's what it said..she dressed as a sandwich
