BECKY SHER | HYPE A fun look at 20 years of trivia

Talk about a trip down memory lane. Trivial Pursuit's new 20th-anniversary edition features a treasure trove of trivia about the highlights (and low points) of the past two decades. You'll answer questions about the O.J. Simpson trial, the 2000 election fiasco, and TV shows such as "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Survivor."
The best thing about this version of the ultrapopular trivia game is that most of the questions have some relevance to your life -- after all, we've all heard of the Pets.com Sock Puppet and the Thighmaster. Even if you don't know the answer, you'll probably at least recognize part of the question. (Which is more than we can say for some of the questions in other editions of the game. Unless you happen to be an expert on German philosophy.) Game play is pretty much the same as it's always been -- you move around the board collecting those little wedges to fit into your pie-shaped game piece. And the game comes with a groovy card dispenser, which makes asking the questions almost as much fun as answering them.
The Trivial Pursuit 20th-anniversary edition sells for about 30 bucks. Look for it at toy stores, mass retailers and Web sites such as Amazon.com.
Caffeine fix
Get this: A new study (yes, it was done by real scientists) shows that applying caffeine directly to your skin could actually prevent cancer. No joke. But don't worry, you don't have to bathe in caramel macchiatos to get the full effect. (Though would that really be so bad?) One of our fave skin-care companies has come up with something better.
Jaqua Girls Coffee Body Scrub ($18) is made with 60 percent restaurant-grade coffee, plus aloe vera, apricot kernel oil and other good stuff. So it exfoliates, moisturizes and -- apparently -- could help prevent cancer. But it's not the health benefits of the scrub that keeps us singing in the shower -- it's the way it leaves our skin feeling soft and smooth. If we're getting some cancer-fighting benefits on the side, so be it.
Look for Jaqua Girls Coffee Body Scrub at www.sephora.com, www.jaquagirls.com and at department stores.
