Pupitre Caliente
A popular Dominican game show segment where students answered school-level multiple-choice questions while sitting in a chair. If they answered incorrectly, a box above them would dump eggs or flour on their heads. It became a cultural touchstone because of the shockingly ignorant answers given by the students, which many people used to mock the poor quality of the national education system. (Roberto Salcedo is a famous Dominican TV host and politician).
