No, but this would have been their kind of game. It was a game played in a car that dealt with a specific product. I found an obsure connection to this and a mayberry character.
So slug bug was played by punching your buddy in the arm whenever you’d see a Volkswagen drive by. Apparently VW had a commercial a few years back with Sluggy Patterson talking about how he invented the game. Sluggy is a former TAGS actor.

Sluggy Patterson
We palyed that as kids but called it Punch Buggy.
Looks like it had various names. Also PunchDub in the Sluggy (Freddy Fleet) Patterson video!
