Dashboard Confessions Giveaway: "Would You Rather" Edition
If there's one game my kids enjoy playing on the road, it's "Would You Rather?". Unfortunately, they are not all that creative with the questions so when they make up their own it usually goes like this:
Kid One: "Hey Mom, would you rather walk down the street naked or eat dog poop?" (naked)
Kid Two: "Hey Mom, would you rather eat cat poop or walk down the street naked?" (still naked!)
Thankfully the folks at Zobmondo are pretty good at coming up with clever conundrums that do not all involve public nudity or animal poo, and that my kids still find immensely amusing. As do I. Such as:
"Would You Rather... Rip a garment while trying it on and swear you found it that way or… be given too much change and not tell the cashier?"
Zobmondo's version of this travel game ensures that you are never out of amusingly tricky choices and that you will enjoy much laughter and lively conversation as the miles fly by. Sans electronics!
We're hitting the road in a week's time, and we'll be bringing the travel version of Zobmondo's "Would You Rather..." game along with us. We love it so much that we decided we'd rather share it with you than keep it a secret. So we are giving away two travel sets of the classic game to two lucky winners. Here's how to enter:

by car, definitely. we can stop, get out, strech our legs, buy sth...Posted by: Maja | August 1, 2008 1:27 PM
I'd rather travel by car with my kids for five hours than by air, because in the car we can stop occasionally and let them out to run around and scream.Posted by: Lisa Weidknecht | August 1, 2008 2:07 PM
1. by car, where there are no witnesses ;) 2. would you rather introduce a new girlfriend/boyfriend to your kids or your parents?Posted by: christopher h | August 1, 2008 3:23 PM
I would rather travel by car with kids. Would you rather be a grown up or a child? Thanks for this giveaway. This game sounds like so much fun.Posted by: Margaret Smith | August 1, 2008 3:50 PM
I would travel 5 hours by car with the children in tow. It's easier to keep them entertained in the car than in a plane. Would you rather... eat shark meat or mystery meat?Posted by: AmandaK | August 1, 2008 9:42 PM
I would definitely rather travel by car! You can pull over and stop at restaurants, a plane is just too crowded. Unless of course I could travel first class. Would you rather touch a tarantula or a snake?Posted by: Susan C | August 2, 2008 6:20 AM
1. I would so rather travel for 5 hours with my 2 and 3 year old sons by car. I know this how? My husband is Australian so once a year we travel from Phoenix to Brisbane/Sydney.. it is 14 hours NON-STOP!! It takes me the entire 2 weeks in Australia just to recover from the plan ride there and then it is time to come home and do it again. Have you ever tried to keep a 2 year old in the same chair for 14 hours? Not recommended ;-) We just returned home from a road trip between Phoenix and Laguna Beach (about 5 hours by car) and it was so much more fun. You can stop when you want.. let the kids run around. Much easier on the kids AND mom and dad. 2. Would you rather eat a cockroach or eat the booger of a stranger (my husband came up with this.. go figure.)Posted by: Melissa | August 2, 2008 8:15 AM
I'd rather travel 5 hours by car. Would you rather lose your job or lose all your savings?Posted by: Lisa | August 2, 2008 8:38 AM

I would rather travel by car simply because I wouldn't want others to be disturbed by their screaming... Would you rather win a trip to Disney World or Disney Land?Posted by: Mya Brooks | August 2, 2008 3:46 PM
Travel by car...there are so many options in keeping children busy in the car (dvd, games, special toys, singing,etc). Would you rather be overdressed or underdressed for a party?Posted by: Betty Nations | August 2, 2008 5:59 PM
1. Much rather by car.....you can stop & take a break, walk around..we have flown 15 hours (China) with my daughter at age 10 months, and 13 hours (Hawaii) at 28 months - my answer is definitely CAR!!! 2. would you rather be able to fly, or have the ability to read minds?Posted by: Kristen Fitzgerald | August 2, 2008 7:42 PM
I'd rather travel 5 hrs by car with my children in tow. Would you rather scrub clean a dirty bathroom or take out the trash that's full of maggots?Posted by: bunny | August 3, 2008 3:14 AM
1. I'd much rather travel five hours by car than by plane. Kids (and mommies) need frequent breaks to stretch achy legs, buy snacks and useless junk at convenience stores, and besides, who doesn't love to play the license plate game? 2. Here's my "Would you rather..." question: Would you rather have eyes that always smile, or a voice that makes people calm?Posted by: Elaina | August 3, 2008 9:46 AM
By car, hands down!Posted by: Diane | August 3, 2008 10:11 AM
I would rather travel by car with my kids. Being stuck in a plane with no where to go would be way too long with my toddler. Would you rather wear a bikini in the snow or a snowsuit on the beach?Posted by: Christine | August 3, 2008 2:20 PM

By plane because anywhere I could go 5 hours by plane would be somewhere my boys had never been. Here is a question I posed to my boys recently: Would you rather go on a cruise or get lots of Christmas presents? (they picked a cruise)Posted by: Tari Lawson | August 4, 2008 3:36 AM
By car, we can take our time and take in the sights along the way. My question: Would you rather spend all your money at the mall or save it and by little things that add up to a big thing.Posted by: Jenn S. | August 4, 2008 7:58 AM
Much rather fly............no people driving talking on their cell phones. Much safer. Would you rather bungee jump or skydive?Posted by: Emily Grant | August 4, 2008 8:54 AM

I'd rather spend the time in the car - at least they wouldn't be annoying others! Would you rather eat lima beans or peas?Posted by: Barbara Fox | August 4, 2008 1:41 PM
By plane because then when you arrive you are further away from home than if you had been in a car. Would you rather eat a shot glass full of someone else's boogers or eat the shotglass? Thanks!Posted by: Christine | August 4, 2008 1:48 PM
I would say five hours by car for sure! Would you rather ave eyes in the back of your head or be able to turn your head all the way around?Posted by: Tonya Froemel | August 4, 2008 4:26 PM
I would rather travel by car. I don't like flying and I can always stop ad let the kids run out some built up energy. Would you rather spend the week with the in-laws or a week with two screaming, whiney, fussy children? lol, I'd take the kids.Posted by: Amanda Chapman | August 4, 2008 9:11 PM
Flying is no fun these days, so I have to say car. Would you rather go on a cruise with your in-laws or camping for a week.Posted by: Steve Scott | August 5, 2008 11:02 AM

I would rather go by car because we can stop and eat, go to the bathroom or stop at the rest area to stretch our legs. Would you rather live where it's sweating hot or ice cold?Posted by: K. Cleaver | August 5, 2008 8:35 PM
Definitely in the car. At least they can get out and burn off some of that energy.Posted by: Amy | August 6, 2008 6:20 AM
i used to think flying was so much less stressful. Now that isn't true at all. I would rather drive with kids in tow so we can pull over when we need to.Posted by: Catherine copeland | August 6, 2008 8:35 AM
1) I would say traveling by car would be the way to go. You can stop, stretch your legs, use a full size bathroom and not get as ripped off if you have to buy food while on the trip 2) Would you rather be allergic to chocolate or to pollen?Posted by: Cathy R | August 6, 2008 3:44 PM
By car, definitely. Then I have the option to stop at a McDonalds with a playplace and let them run around. You can't do that in a plane.Posted by: Heather Goldsmith | August 6, 2008 5:58 PM
I'd love to win this for my kids!Posted by: Traci Holland | August 6, 2008 6:51 PM

Probably the plane, it's easier to relax when you don't have to worry about driving. Would you rather give up shaving or wearing makeup?Posted by: Jessica | August 7, 2008 12:24 AM
I'd much rather travel by car. At least you don't have to worry about other passengers and I like to play games and do other activities that make the car ride fun. Would you rather jog in place for an hour or jump rope for 30 minutes?Posted by: Elizabeth M. | August 7, 2008 2:28 AM

1. Answer the Question "Would You Rather... travel 5 hours by plane or 5 hrs by car with your children in tow?" I would rather travel by car! At least you can stop and let the kids run around for a few minutes! 2. Hit us with your best original "Would You Rather" question, and keep the game going! Would you rather come back to your 10 year High School Reunion 200lbs heavier than when you graduated OR come back with a medical condition that made you belch 5 seconds every time you heard the word "the"? heh hehPosted by: Brad | August 7, 2008 6:47 AM
I only have one child but my husband, son and I all love road trips. You get to stop off at gas stations for drinks and stop at stupid *but sometimes fun* road side attractions you didn't plan on visiting. Plus it's a nice way to see nature in Arizona without worrying about the heat!Posted by: Kim M | August 7, 2008 7:00 AM
I would rather travel by car, for sure! Would you rather make 100,000 a year at a job you hate, or make 50,000 a year at a job you just love.Posted by: Jodi | August 7, 2008 7:53 AM
Car. I can handle the screams when I'm not embarrassed by other people hearing them. Would you rather send your child to school in a stained shirt, or get up two hours early to scrub it?Posted by: Jennifer M | August 7, 2008 7:59 AM
By car if it's only 5 hours! Would you rather live your life or swap with someone else?Posted by: Jodene Gildea | August 7, 2008 8:03 AM
Oh boy, I would rather travel five hours by car. At least by car you're the only one getting annoyed, plus there's plenty of rest areas along the way to add some difference in environment.Posted by: Tiffanie W. | August 7, 2008 8:59 AM
Car for sure! Planes are terribly uncomfortable unless it first class...but who can afford that??? And you can't beat other peoples kids for wailing etc. lol. Would you rather....be stung by a wasp or eat a worm? Haha. :DPosted by: Bambi Burns | August 7, 2008 9:49 AM

I'd rather fly. The kids enjoy it, and my husband and I can both read on the trip. We also don't have to worry about lunatic drivers. Would you rather have the weather alwasy hot or always cold?Posted by: Elizabeth Ray | August 8, 2008 8:16 AM
after this trip of 12 hours in the car with 3 teens, it may be a while before I do that again. If I would have had more for them to do it may have been better.Posted by: missy h | August 8, 2008 8:53 AM
