My wife put a bar of chocolate on a plate and I got a weird flashback to that chocolate game we played at parties. Does anyone else remember it?

1. Played exactly this game last week at a family games night we hosted. Kids and grown ups loved it!

2. I have never heard of this game. I feel like my childhood was robbed.

3. That’s not the chocolate bar game they played at parties when I was at school, no.

4. Is it like the one where you wank onto a biscuit

5. Yes! Only at 1 birthday party I ever went to, but remember it vividly.

6. Played it in Ruthwaite Lodge above Glenridding in the Lakes on an outward bound trip in year 9. First and only time but it was entertaining to watch the disappointment of someone managing to cut off a square just as someone else rolled a 6

7. It’s elevated to new heights now. the stakes are bigger and it now involves a rich tea biscuit and debauchery

8. Now you have said this, yes I remember it vividly, was a birthday party staple back in the 80s/early 90s.

9. Yeah, that’s a blast from the past. I was crap at it, I also always lost the one where you had a mound of flour with a matchstick in the top on a plate and you took turns slicing a bit away until the matchstick fell.

10. We even played this in primary school. Shared bar of chocolate and cutlery between 30 kids, probably a health and safety/hygiene nightmare by today’s standards.

11. I remember doing that. Warm fuzzy feeling. Thanks for the memory.

12. What about putting random items on a tray, covering them up with a tea towel and then having to remember what was on there? Parties today sure aren’t what they used to be!

13. i was shit at this game!

14. Only time I’ve ever heard of this game is on Reddit. Am I too young? Too southern? What’s going on?

15. Played it once at my in laws. Remember thinking it was was weird af, but it was funny as hell.

16. Played it at lot at Scouts 15ish years ago

17. Soggy biscuit ?

18. Yep, remember it well

19. HATED that game, core memory watching classmates fumble, sweat and slobber over a bar of chocolate while the demented teacher scolds me for not being manically enthused to take part.

20. What the fuck!? Did you grow up in a Dickens novel or something?

21. We had this at sports day at my primary school 🤣

22. I remember playing it, but don’t remember how it’s played, bit of a skewed memory

23. Any of you fuckers had a ring doughnut on a string and raced to eat it?

24. That was a fave game when a cub/scout and big family gatherings!

    I think I may suggest bringing it back to my ma (a cub leader for over 20 years) to do with her grandchildren (now ages between 8 and 14), thanks for reminding me!

25. We’re going to do this for the first meeting back at Brownies. I have the meanest pair of ski gloves!

26. Used to play it at my kids’ birthday parties about 10 years ago. It’s a classic and ace fun. Was better with the foil and paper wrapping.

27. Is that similar to keys in a bowl or am I way off?

28. These damn kids these days with their fancy Nintendos and Gamestations when they could be playing chocolate on a plate

29. Yes we called this “the chocolate game”

30. What is the game? Taking turns to eat chocolate? How do the winter clothes come into it? Are the clothes supposed to make it difficult cut off a piece?

31. Was it a brownies/ scouts thing? I definitely remember playing it at some point

32. Yes, we played this at our Brownies Christmas party. Resulted in another leader demolishing most of the bar, much to the girls’ frustration!

33. Never heard of that game. Sounds like a fever dream

34. The Mars Bars Game lol

    This game is certainly not for children
