# Its your age
The ancient schoolground art of throwing your money (or more typically somebody elses money) onto the floor and yelling 'scrambles!' to which a violent scrum would ensue as people scrabbled for cash.
And of course, the arcade game from the 80s 'Scramble'. Ah, you see what I did there? ;)

# Heh

God, I'm old.

Don't remember 'scrambles' though - we were too poor to have dinner-money, 90% of my school were on free schoolmeals.

# Yay for wise and aged b3tans such as ourselves!
EDIT: Wondering if Scrambles was perchance a Midlands thing - quite prepared to be proven wrong!

# i'm a dirty southerner
we played it. Maybe it had migrated down during the time between you going to school and me going to school.

# well we didn't have scrambles as such
at my secondary school we had a thing called box out which was basically a mugging where things were snatched from you without warning

I don't think it was a geographical thing, the barbarity of children in universal

I remember "Scramble".
I'm not quite that young. Scramble was dangerous and usually ended up as a bundle with a small fragile child at the bottom.
For some reason I completely missed the reference.

# You have a bag of sweets or something
You take a handful, throw them in the air while shouting SCRAMBLE, and watch in joy as small children hurl themselves on the floor to collect the sweets, all the while kicking the fuck out of each other
