Two of my favorites of this genre are "Ikea Furniture or Metal Band" and "Drug or Pokemon". I did terribly at the first one since I don't know enough metal I guess, but I aced the latter, despite realizing that "Remoraid" actually does sound more like some sort of join pain cream or something than a pokemon.

Let's not forget one of the first in the genre - "Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer" https://vole.wtf/coder-serial-killer-quiz/
The first one I saw, and still my favorite, was "Pokemon or Big Data" https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRsfRHXPTuEXdNvUcI...
'Hadoop is a distributed system for counting words' ahaha.
My favorite was "North Korean propaganda or TED talk soundbite?"

There are a few articles about it but the actual quiz doesn't seem to be up anymore.

Excellent! The first one I remember seeing—and enjoying—was “Prof or Hobo”:

I failed Filesystem Driver Author or Murderer".
Not really insightful since you only have pictures to guess. You can make any murderer look nice and friendly with the right picture
My first and favorite was cheeseorfont.com, which is unfortunately has been taken over by something completely unrelated.

But that at least had an explanation: both cheeses and type foundries seem to come from Switzerland.
