Greatest Wedding Drinking Game Ever

So Jester and I went to a wedding this weekend. On each table were Hershey's miniature candy bars with the wrappers covered by a personalized wrapper with the bride and groom's initials. Enter my warped and alcohol-dependent mind and we now have Hershey Squirts. Each person at the table grabs a candy bar and hides it in his or her lap. Someone starts. It doesn't matter who, but it must be a male, female, or tranny. Then you go around the table and guess which candy bar is in his/her/its lap. Obviously you have 4 choices: Hershey's Milk Chocolate (called "regular" in some circles), Hershey's Dark Chocolate (has gold foil, rather than silver like the other three, which is why we made everyone put their candy bars below the table), Krackel (also called "Krack-a-lack"), or Mr. Goodbar (the wildcard).

After you go around the table, the person with the candy bar in his/her/its lap tears off the wedding-initialed wrapper to reveal what type of candy bar is underneath. Those who guessed wrong have to take a drink. Those who guessed right win the respect of their peers. Then you move on to the person sitting to the left of the first person and repeat it all over again. It's simple, fun, and a great way to get the other tables at the wedding asking, "did those assholes create a drinking game out of guessing candy bar varieties?"

When I told Gregerson about this game, he suggested that people who get it right get to hand out a drink. I wholeheartedly support that, although feel free to play the classic version of Hershey Squirts if you're so inclined.

Strikes me that this is not at all limited to weddings. I mean, Halloween has a mindnumbing amount of potential.
