I’ve just finished making a piñata for my brother-in-law’s birthday-- it’s shaped like a beer bottle and I’ve photoshopped ™ an old Rainier beer label to read his name instead (starts with an R). Pretty good. So now: what should I stick in it? We were just going to go with candy or chocolates or something but that’s lame. My sister suggested “razor blades, pills, and condoms,” but that’s not quite right, either. If I thought it could take the weight some of those little plastic airline-size bottles of liquor might be good. . . I wonder if it could take the weight?
It depends on how well you made it. My mom made a pair of piñatas for me when I was little, and it took us for-freaking-ever to bust those things. They were made with multiple layers of brown bags from the grocery store. Something like shredded newsprint in a thin layer would be a lot easier. You could make a test version if you wanted to be sure.
Another option would be to get a bunch of those chocolates that have liquor inside, and have foil wrappers that look like booze bottles.
If it were a kid’s piñata, you could fill it with baggies full of fake blood (Kayro syrup and red food colouring) to teach them that violence is bad, m’kay?
I was going to suggest those little chocolate bottles filled with various types of alcohol.
:dubious:
You do realize the purpose here is to strike the pinata with a heavy blunt object?
Condoms, hard candy, lottery tickets, gum…
My son had a pinata for his birthday once. It was shaped like Barney. After each child had had three whacks at him and he still didn’t break, I ripped his head off and dumped the candy out. Most satisfying.
Let’s see…individually wrapped “adult” fortune cookies? Novelty condoms? Those little packs of flavored lubes and numbing creams you can buy from a machine in a gas station bathroom? A whole bunch of those super-bouncy little rubber balls, so when the pinata breaks they go flying and bouncing all over? Small copies of the most embarrassing pictures of your BIL you can find, attached to fridge magnets? Fishing lures (still wrapped, of course)?
Chick tracts?

You know, about this putting condoms in the pinata- If those things can become less effective after being carried around in a wallet for awhile, couldn’t being beat up in a pinata be even worse?
I’ll second the lottery tickets, candy and gum suggestions. And who doesn’t love super bouncy balls?
Maybe visit a few adult shops and see if they’ll cut you a discount on whatever old stock that’s small enough to fit?
“Condoms, Rose! Condoms!”
Stuff it full of pig intestines and the aforementioned ketchup. Rig it so it screams in horror when it breaks.
A puppy!
Maybe a vase?
An original 45 of Elvis on the Sun Records lable?
Just fill the thing with cement and let it set. When someone connects with it, get a picture of their face.
A hornet nest.
Or is this a guy you LIKE?
Rare is the party that can’t be enlivened by a piñata full of scorpions.
Mayonnaise?
