[2017] The list of suggestions that didn't win

[Zaz]

After having plenty of fun creating our list in 2015, we decided to do it again in 2016. During several months, we suggested topics and voted for the ones we preferred, building step by step a new 52 list for 2017. BUT! (yes, there's a but) But, many poor suggestions didn't make it (I hope you are crying right now)! One last chance is offered to them with the category #47.

So, for #47 (A past suggestion that didn't win), choose your favorite from the poor suggestions!
