Does everyone know what Plinko is? I didn't until I moved to Wisconsin. I had no idea, but here it seems like everyone knows this thing. It's a carnival type game where you drop a disk through a peg board and then it can land in a variety of slots at the bottom. I went to a Pride Celebration event with my kids on Saturday and one of the sex education booths had a Plinko game where you answer a trivia question chosen by the peg board drop and win a prize.
The person before me got the question "How many legs does a spider have?" I thought, oh, this is going to be easy, I'm going to get a flag or a pride pin or something for free. I did my disk drop and got the question
"How many people in Wisconsin have HIV but don't know they are infected?
Huh? I was hoping for the spider-level question.
I had no idea, but the person at the booth gave me a hint that it was in the 4 digits. I guessed way high- the real answer was something just over 1000.
I got a prize anyway though. Because, of course, the point is education.
Then my oldest kid tried it and he got a how to use a condom question, which he answered correctly (yay!). I can't believe he is 20 years old now, amazing.
I hadn't heard of plinko before. What a great, fun way to educate.
