Greetings Infomaniacs,At Stacy's baby shower, we played this game where we had to match baby terms to names of candy. For instance, one of the terms was "triplets," and the corresponding candy was Three Musketeers.
We all had a bit of a tough time with this game, but the best moment was when they called out the answer to the matching candy for the term "hospital bill," which was 100 grand.
Stacy's cousin groaned when she heard the answer and said, "But I put 100,000 bar as my answer!"
Our table got quiet and we all looked at her for a minute until she figured out that 100 grand and 100,000 was the same thing. Yep, we got a good laugh out of that!
Enjoy!
