Medevac 3 (for HELICOPTER, ORGAN, and PARACHUTE)
Entenmann 3 (for CHOCOLATE, LEMON, and SQUARE)
Lockpick 3 (for PIN, TRUNK, and NOVEL, though that's a damn stretch).
And Entenmann would have meant nothing to me  . A bit of Googling says that we'd have been OK if one of the other team member was also from the U.S. ... (slight cross post there).

And then the rest of the team decided to discard that advice. 
I can understand why FALL was brought up but I was left literally speechless when AIR was the first guess. I mean, the clue was cheap, not free. Not the best start.
Yeah, I'm in no hurry to try spymastering  .
Cheapest rather than cheap? Although that would risked driving me, at least, to look for adjectives rather than nouns.
And I'm still not getting the SQUARE-Grocer link.
Just glad that I wasn't completely wrong about Kevlar being used in parachutes.

If Krill wants to, since they never have, they can take round 2. Otherwise I'd like to be considered.

Yeah.. Entenmann must be like a coastal baked good thing, because its either not that popular in iowa OR im just used to the Little debbie/hostess brand of everything.
/vote myself to be spymaster at every available opportunity. So much more fun than being a guesser lol

Hah, well done red team. Maybe I should have some more confidence in my guessing, since I was much more on the right track then I originally thought. Sorry JR4. Maybe instead of grocer unlimited you could aimed directly for CHOCOLATE/SQUARE with something like Cadbury 2? Lemon was our +1 guess for Cheap at the time and I would've pushed for that, leaving the Heli/Parachute pair for the last clue. EDIT: Thinking back there was no guarantee that you would get the 4th turn, so this probably wouldn't be practical without hindsight.
If Krill doesn't have a strong opinion about spymastering then I wouldn't force the role on a newer player. If it's between me and pja, it technically has been longer since I did the role.  Although I don't mind being spymaster for Round 3 either.

Alright I'll take Round 2. Pretty sure it's Dave for the reds, although I'll wait for him to confirm before messaging pindicator.
Also I'm assuming the lurker thread is safe to visit in between rounds? Can someone confirm?

Maybe:
CLANCY 3 (NOVEL, HELICOPTER, PARACHUTE)
STOMACH 4 (ORGAN, CHOCOLATE, LEMON, TRUNK)
NUMBER 2 (PIN, SQUARE)
?
And yeah, the lurker thread is safe (IMO).
