Guide Review - Eat It! Snacks & Sweets Trivia Game

Finally, someone wised up and created a game that plays into our obsession with snacks and sweets. As much as other trivia games tap into our awareness of history and culture, Eat It! hits us much closer to home. The 2000 questions in this game span the history of packaged goodies from their beginning to present day. Having played and tested this game with a range of ages, it became apparent that although the age limit is set at teens and up, even younger kids can play. Because, while adults may be able to answer questions about the nostalgic snacks from our youth, younger kids have us beat on the current array of goodies on the shelves. Questions range from historical origins, to ingredients, to advertising jingles.

Playing this game will make you nostalgic for those goodies from your youth. But there's also the danger that it will send you running to the store for the treats of today! The play can get a bit slow if you don't set limits on players who know the answer is "on the tip of their tongue" but can't quite locate it. And, of course, someone who doesn't buy commercially manufactured sweets and snacks won't enjoy the game. But for the rest of us who love going to the movies for the sake of the goodies, who can't resist a vending machine, or who never got past feeling like a kid when entering a candy store, this game will be a treat to share at your next party.
