The Hershey Take 5 game pitted users against the dim-witted stars of the Take 5 TVspots in a head-to-head claw game. The object was to be the first one to collect five Take 5 candy bars. The key to the game’s success was that it maintained the same humorous tone as the TVspots. Users could frustrate their opponent by collecting taunt items like bowling balls that could be dropped on their heads. Top scorers of the Take 5 game could win an iPod or a box of Take 5 bars.
