Play with your food — please

Prepared Foods, March, 2002

Mom always told you to not play with your food. Now, Regal Confections wants you to. The company is offering chocolate versions of two very popular games, available only in specialty stores in Canada. If the game of Trivial Pursuit or Monopoly isn't going quite your way, just eat your opponents' hotels or question cards. These chocolate versions won't last as long as the real thing, but they are priced lower--about C$10.

Increasingly, products have some sense of participation and interaction--through the package functions, the assembly required, etc. This product line is a bit of a twist on that concept, in that you play the game with chocolate pieces.
