Candy Bar Game - Alternative

(Redlands, CA)
This one is great for a large crowd: The most fun idea I have used is similar to the Candy Bar Game above, only you actually buy samples of all of the candy listed and place it in a basket. When its time to play the game, you call out to the crowd and pass out candy accordingly:
"Who here has no children" - everyone who raises their hand gets a Zero bar
Continue with the same idea using these connections:
Anyone have an epidural? - lifesavers
Nursing mothers out there? - Milky Way
Anyone have a preemie? - sugar babies
Twins or two kids? - doublemint gum
Triplets or three kids? - 3 muskateers
More than 4 kids? - Good and Plenty
Only one child? - Uno Bar
Pregnant now? - Mounds
Who had the biggest baby (everyone shouts out the weight of their heaviest child - the heaviest one gets Whoppers
New babies in the past month 0 treasurs
Colicky babies - cry babies
Longest labor? Slo-poke
1st time parents? - Rocky Road
Kids who are blonde? - airheads
Kids with straight A's? - Nerds
Kids in college? - Smarties or Payday
Kids in a school band? - Symphony
Kids who play guitar or dance? - Pop Rocks
Teething babies right now? - crunch bar
Kids in sports? - Skor
and the list goes on....
There are two fun ways to end this game - to make sure everyone gets some candy, you can say "who here loves babies?" and then just toss out "hugs and kisses"... and then for the grand finale, have a large peppermint patty, and present it to the mom-to-be who's destined to be the "Coolest Mom" Its also nice to hand out baggies or cellophane bags to all the guests so they can store the candy and take it home to their kiddos...
