Trust Sleepy's For the Rest of Your Life!
I thought, "hmmmm.....that's an awful lot to ask of their customers...lifelong brand loyalty!" The pun of it being the rest of your life (as in relaxed slumber) was completely lost on me until just recently.

also - snakes and ladders is another game that's called something different in the US
― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 14:40 (two months ago) link
Yes because you slide down chutes and go up ladders
Not sure how many people have ever slid down a snake. Maybe it happens a lot in the UK idk

A snake looks better than a chute.

... it's (yet another) game the British brought back from India where the snakes have a deeper meaning than just something you slide down... apparently.

chutes are just fundamentally less exciting than snakes

Personally I would definitely prefer having my butt on a chute vs. a snake; your opinion may vary.
Snakes? Not my kink. And also consent is an issue. Have the snakes enthusiastically consented to this arrangement?
― Sane clown posse (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 15:01 (two months ago) link
the snakes are willing participants, if anything it's their idea

After puzzling over it, I concluded it referred to Damon and Affleck appealing to producers to show them some good will by bankrolling their project.

Skylar has inherited money under a will, but learns that what is truly important is human connection with a man named Will. The movie Good Will Hunting tells the journey of Skylar "hunting" her emotions about the "good" Will out from among the complex web of feelings she has around the "bad" will.
The sequel Good Will Hunting 2: aka Applesauce, Byiatch! did not receive a wide release.
