Since playing a "drinking game" is so...10 years ago...before kids...and the full-time job. How about grabbing a big bag of M & M's and playing a "candy game" during the VP debate tonight. Here's how it works:

Eat one M & M when:

• Palin says the words "moose," "Wasilla," "earmarks" or "maverick," mentions the Bridge to Nowhere, or talks about someone being able to see Russia from their front porch.
• Biden says the word "hope" or "change" or gets angry.
• General: The word "bailout" is said; Palin's children Willow, Trig, Bristol, Track and Piper or Biden's son Beau are mentioned; or the moderator interrupts.

Eat two M & Ms when:

• Palin mentions hunting, anyone sells a plane on eBay or the word "sexism" is used.
• Biden mentions Amtrak.
• General: The words "Wall Street" and "Main Street" are used together or one of the candidates doesn't even pretend to answer the question.

Eat a handful when:

• Palin says, "Thanks, but no thanks," or the words "18 million cracks" or "glass ceiling" or Troopergate is mentioned.
• Biden mentions Scranton or refers to John McCain as "My friend John."
• General: Tina Fey is spotted.

Finish the bag when:

• Palin claims to have any sort of foreign policy experience or Biden's mother is seen in the audience.
