LOL those are crazy, I’m sure the candy tastes like crap though.

If you can punch your sibling with the rock selection or just jab them or threaten to jab them with any selection, does that make it actually a multi-tasker.

I’m not touching you… (wave hand) I’m not touching you….

Sense of humor? Operative. LMAO? Absolutely.

Damn the torpedoes, Erin! Full speed ahead to next Wednesday’s Unitasker!!!

Note: I still think the Spin the Bottle game tops this one; at least these don’t require batteries.

waaht is absolutely right

as is Dawn — party favors — perhaps that is why “You can buy the game in (in)convenient 24-packs”

They are laughing all the way to the bank! I’ve always hoped I would come up with a sort of “pet rock” idea that I could market just before Christmas and sell them in the stores, right by the register and all would buy for their funny, gag, have to have Christmas present and by the New Year it would be over, but i”d be laughing all the way to the bank! This is pretty close!

What the ??!!?

When I saw the picture, I thought those things had a computer inside of them which would randomize the outcome.
I can’t decide now if that would have been even more or less pointless.

By the way, Beverly, I think you don’t usually play the game for entertainment, but to decide something, kind of like throwing a coin.

I was really hoping this post would finally tell me the POINT of this game. I’ve never gotten it, never thought it was fun, so this candy thing doesn’t make sense either.

@waaht your comment shows you’re completely missing the point.

that being said, i’d be the person that always chose rock or paper, because trying to push down just one of those buttons is just too hard…

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. (wipes eyes) Just when you thought you’ve heard everything, someone tsk tsks that we are mocking a PLASTIC NOVELTY as a unitasker. Yes, we ARE nit-pickers, and the nit we are picking is that this is a stupid plastic piece of useless garbage. If you want to enjoy some candy and play Rock/Paper/Scissors at the same time, buy some decent candy (chocolate) and use the multitaskers at the end of your arms to play the game.

@Lori, if someone invented that, my husband would have one in a heartbeat — he has a 90 minute commute each way every day, so you can imagine how tired his commentary finger is at the end of the day. This would solve that problem! LMAO

Someone totally needs to hack one of those to get it to give the finger, then figure out a way to push the appropriate button remotely. Then I could mount one in the rear window of my car and it would no longer be a unitasker.

Well I though that Spin The Bottle was the daftest but this absolutely takes the biscuit.

What a waste of plastic, my VERY ecologically minded daughter would say. Just how much energy did it need to create these hunks of junk, and just how much pollution was generated at the factory?

And then is the candy, pretty bland and tasteless. Have seen those little pellets before in other containers and my kids were so UNimpressed by the flavor!

Just another piece that once the “play factor” is over will wind up in the recycle bin…
or countless trash cans around the globe.

Darnit, I almost made it. I clicked through from my Reader to see the comments. “Surely,” I thought, “surely no one could possibly defend THIS week’s unitasker.”

Alas, wrong again.
