Sex Toy or Craft Beer?

Sex toys and craft beers have a striking number of things in common. They’re both subject to weird regulatory systems (reductively, for example, sex toys struggle with online marketing and have to be classified as either medical devices or novelties, and craft beer will soon have to comply with nutritional information guidelines). They’re both vaguely associated with witches (since broomsticks were obviously dildos used to vaginally administer herbal remedies, and since many of the symbols associated with witchcraft — cauldron, cat, pointed hat, broomstick again — were also associated with beer). And they both have some really fantastic naming conventions.

Either/or/both: you decide. Post your score in the comments for ten points to a Hogwarts house of your choice. (Obvious giveaways like “dildo” or “IPA” removed in a few cases because duh.)

  1. I AM JUST SO GLAD EVERYONE IS BACK FROM A-CAMP.

    (also I tried doing it but wrote down the numbers on a D column vs B (for beer) column and the results aren’t numbered and I have to go back through all of them ? Waah- too much work… Do I still get to say : 20 POINTS TO HUFFLEPUFF?)

  2. Tank 7 is amazing and is a great aphrodisiac if you get turned on from drinking (like I do).

  3. The only reason I nailed that is because Bellwoods Brewery is my absolute fave <3

  4. The Panel this was at was actually the best Group Project I’ve ever participated in. Everyone brought something, we all trusted eachother, some of us knew more about Beers, some more about the Sex Toys. It was Beautiful.

  5. Wow, I got all of them correct except “Oxballs Plumber” and those labeled “both”. This might be because my favorite things are sex toys and craft beer.

  7. I got to 18 and gave up, but I definitely thought there were way more toys than beer names on that list. Glimmerglass? Bad Bunny?? So misleading!

  8. Bah, having ones on there that are both is cheating! I’m going to go pout in my craft beer while sitting on a dildo.

  9. I’m beyond proud of the fact I was a member of the team who won Sex Bar Trivia at Camp. ?

  12. a) 26 points for Ravenclaw!
    b) I looked it up–Black Pearl belongs in both categories.
    c) Oxballs Plumber is something that I would want in neither my mouth or my nether parts.

  13. 30 points for slytherin!!!

    the only one that really surprised me was lime teaser not being a beer…i don’t want anything related to limes near my sexy bits…but it *is* adorable.
