Final Jeopardy! clue: This alliterative beverage chain says it gets its name from an African word meaning “to celebrate”

What is Jamba Juice? (Incorrect responses, if any, and game stats, will be left in the comments.)


Lincoln 7001 + 5601 = 12601 Jeremy 10900 – 7100 = 3800 Kelly 17200 + 8000 = 25200 (3-day total: $62,700)

This is one of those clues that a number of people on the Internet like to get all uppity about.

To that, I say this:

In the book “Jamba Juice Power”, by Stan Dembecki and company founder Kirk Perron, one section reads:

In case you forgot, Jamba is derived from a West African word that translates as “Celebrate!”

Additionally, their own Facebook page, in a post from March 21, 2014, reads:

“Jamba” means to celebrate in Swahili. What achievements will you “Jamba” this weekend?

While there are a number of other sources who make alternative claims, the clue in of itself as written is just fine, in that: 1) Jamba Juice is an alliterative beverage chain; 2) it says it gets its name from an African word meaning “to celebrate”.
