A vial of poison appears in front of every adult capable of drinking. A disembodied voice says you have to drink it or not. - Drink: You will die unless 50% of the population or more also drank, in which case you will all receive the antidote. - Don’t drink: nothing will happen to you but if more than half of the population doesn’t drink, the drinkers die. You are not given any opportunity to discuss this situation with others. I will _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6432))_ ---

You receive an email from a local fast casual restaurant with a promo code for a free sandwich with a purchase of $10 or more. You just happen to be planning on going to that restaurant anyway, and your order comes to more than $10. But your order plus the free sandwich is more food than you really want right then. The promo is only valid for a few days, so you’re not likely to come back to the restaurant again before it expires. Do you redeem the promo and get your free sandwich? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6444))_ ---
