Different types of food are complements. Peanut butter and jelly are delicious together, for instance. But, obviously, some individually good things together are disgusting. Goal of the game: find three things, A, B, and C such that A+B is good, B+C is good, and A+C is good, while A+B+C is foul.

Example (not my own): red wine + chicken = a traditional marinated roast; red wine + coke = Kalimotxo, a common-ish drink in Spain and Latin American countries. Coke + chicken = an uncommon, but decent marinated dish. Coke + red wine + chicken = I wouldn't go near it.

Can you guys think of others? You can also use people & things, but in that case, try to make it funny.

Coke + Chicken = Cochicken

I have no answer to your question though

This is hard. I can't think of anything food-related, but...

patient naked with doctor = no biggie
patient naked with spouse = no biggie
patient naked with doctor and spouse = very embarrassed

picking your friends
picking your nose
picking your friend's nose

But the patient might not be to happy with his doctor and his spouse.

The blender is cool (did you see what it did to the marbles?), but FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS?!? [Eek!]
