Well Traveled – Answer:
APPLE – By Jeff Reynar
The first number on each line is an interstate highway number. The second number is the number of states to travel (from the north & west; or left to right, top to bottom on a typical map) to get to the correct state. Once you’ve identified the state for each clue, take the second letter of the state’s abbreviation. The sequence of letters spells: MCMLXXXIVCOMMERCIAL, which equates to 1984 commercial. The company that created the 1984 commercial was APPLE.
