A little brain teaser I've just dreamed up!!

The number 682 has a special significance today, why?

First one I wouldn't have got was K, then Q, V, X, and Z may even have struggled with L so round about the same.

They used five of them on the Pointless episode broadcast today. I got the "U" I like a stamp and they make a nice colourful collection.

The only one that leaps at me would be 'pepper' which looks Ferrariesqu, as maybe the eggs do but nothing else strikes me unless the bacon is from Dacia?
