The source is interesting and worth a read to see alternate dialogue paths, including what happens if it can't locate your IP:

"what's up in..." "wait a minute" "damn" (etc.)

what happens if you do it on a Monday:

"...god I hate mondays" "just leave me alone"

and all the options for different ages, fingers-held-up guesses, Rorschach test, etc.

Hmmm.... It broke when I was asked for a good cheap smoothie on the town. Now I feel alone again.

have no fears brother -- i also got stopped at a cheap smoothie out on the town.

All of us smoothie lovers are out here on the sidewalk where we got kicked out the door and landed on our rear ends. Pretty soon there'll be enough of us to form a nonprofit and go save the world on our own.

I don't get it either. What was I supposed to fill? I tried to enter the prize (in several ways and currencies), the place where I go, some general places, some international coffee chains, general nonsense,..., and it still didn't get me through.

I entered Latte instead of a smoothie, and again.

You have to write a price. Ad blockers or tracker blockers mess with the page as well.

Though it was interesting that my tracker blocker made it think I was from Stockholm.

The default IP is from Sweden (89.253.78.108), so it probably just looked up that. NB: that IP is publicly available in the source.

Shame it doesn't display a graph on exit of when people left.

Hey! Thanks you guys for your feedback. I've been working out some kinks with the site this afternoon, now it should work for all you smoothie lovers aswell :) I hope!

And just so you know I'm not just bullshitting you, try typing in "I am a smoothie lover" on the rorchach test and it will know you came from here. Also, it won't be as hurtful in the end, sorry about that.

Hi paul, good game with I am a smoothie lover on the rorchach test. I wrote it (was hard for me though, I'm a beer lover, fancy or not) but still stopped at the beer price question. Good idea, do it right. Hugzz, Ena P.

I remember, once upon a time, when people would write long chains of JS alert() statements, and they would read like this. Those were fairly entertaining because they were a sort of stream-of-consciousness. And so was this.

Didn't really care much for the concept behind it, but I suppose that's a personal preference.

I was expecting some "look how much we know about you" demo at the end, so I tried to be a smartass and now it wants me to donate 1.000000000000001e-19 euros!

It accepted 10e90 as my age.

This has to be the next Frog Fractions. Right?

Just a guess. Apologies if I'm actually right and I spoil it for anyone.

EDIT: nope, not frog fractions. Got my hopes up. We'll find it somewhere.

I was smiling inside the whole time, loved it. Then, just when I thought we were friends, the "oh go to *" was a little hurtful. Fun, otherwise.

I don't know how far it goes but I got a little tired and left about 20 (?) clicks after the smoothy...

If you wait at the end, it updates to a facebook url, did for me anyway.

Eventually asks you what you like to drink, then asks you how much you are willing to pay for this drink out on the town. Eventually it links to the UN Refugee page and asks you to donate how much you were willing to pay for latte/wine/beer/etc.

whoa, can someone confirm that the UNHRC actually uses WorldPay? Because when I visit the UNHRC home page and click donate, that's not what I get...

Well, I've done my bit for the day at least.

If spanjers have oscars, I nominate this.

I mean, I don't usually give. I really don't. BTW the autocomplete on the address fields for the donation form is noteworthy.
