yeah, i think it started with Willy Wonka... as far as its reference to LSD, it's from a book called "Go Ask Alice" where they play a game of that name, and they all drink (soda?) and one of them is spiked with acid. Lucky Alice gets the button and trips her little butt off. She later becomes a junkie and dies. As for me, my acid experiements led to a lucrative career in civil service! =oD go figure...

I believe Alice in Wonderland (Disney Version, 1951) predates Willy Wonka by 20 years, and I recall a scene where Alice encounters a set twins who want her to stay and play. They make reference to the "button, button, who's got the button" game.
It may be possible that Lewis Carroll made the game up. He was, after all, inventing a story about a girls dream. A lot of the book was based on people around him.

I think that's a line from the classic movie "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" It was said by Gene Wilder playing Willy Wonka, as he was about to show the children and their parents the Everlasting Gobstopper machine.

Willy Wonka(in the original) said it when they were looking at the gum making machine and he wanted to show what it could do. Charlie pointed it out, btw. Then Violet turned into a blueberry.

That was one of the games children played long before video games, or even before radio was invented.
