Coke or Pepsi Either, but has to be diet. Cheez Its or Cheese Nips either. Heinz or Hunt’s Neither. Never ever. Hungry Man or Swanson not sure, no opinion. Wal-Mart or Target Neither, but Target if I had to choose. Android or Apple Either. I have more Apple, but I don’t have any brand loyalty Twizzlers or Red Vines (CAUTION: only one right answer here) Neither. Oreos or Hydrox Neither Keebler or Nabisco Either Hersheys or Nestle Neither Lipton or Tetley Neither Chef Boyardee or Franco-American Neither PlayStation or XBOX Neither.

Coke or Pepsi - Pepsi. Which is annoying because most of the ‘captive’ places in the subway or train stations around here sell only Coke. Cheez Its or Cheese Nips - No opinion; I don’t eat these. Heinz or Hunt’s - Heinz. Hungry Man or Swanson - Swansons? Haven’t had TV dinners for years. Wal-Mart or Target - On the rare occasions I’ve been to either of these stores, it’s been Wal-Mart. However, Target just opened up in Canada, and theoretically I prefer them from what I read in the media, but since then I haven’t been to either much. Android or Apple - Apple. Twizzlers or Red Vines (CAUTION: only one right answer here;)) - Twizzlers. I think. Oreos or Hydrox - Never seen or had Hydrox, so Oreos. Keebler or Nabisco - Nabisco. Not sure there’s much Keebler around here, even though we know who the Keebler elves are. Hersheys or Nestle -Cadburys! Lipton or Tetley - Tetley Chef Boyardee or Franco-American - Franco-American PlayStation or XBOX - iPhone. Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth’s - Aunt Jemima. Add: Ragu or Prego - Ragu. Streaming or DVDs - DVDs. Drive or Fly - Fly, even though I get airsick. Driving is …effortful. Cake or Death - Cake, of course. I haven’t wanted death since that incident in February. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > So, Facebook, and…? Not all goods/services fit the criteria (which I have unofficially dubbed “Turtles rule of Sith Marketing”). I think Facebook is one of them. (At one time MySpace was a contender/competitor, but honestly today I don’t think they’re even in the same league). I guess you could argue Snapchat, Instagram, or Twitter (I subscribe to none of these, BTW) but my admittedly uninformed opinion is that these are not the same type of thing exactly (so it would be like comparing Brand A of apples to Brand B of oranges). Also, thought of a couple more: Energizer vs Duracell Fanta vs Sunkist (orange soda) ---

> [@turtlescanfly](#): > > Sorry, you lose… but thanks for playing. > Actually, I’m going to assume you’re joking, as you can’t possibly be serious. Well, I guess some of the other choices matter a little. But Twizzlers? Really? Too sweet, too thick, too close to old-gummi-bear texture. I have a case of them on my office table and in a year, only about a third of them are gone. The equivalent case of Red Vines disappears in a month. I like the texture of the bite the hollow shape gives, and the more subtle flavor. ---

Coke or Pepsi. A&W root beer. Cheez Its or Cheese Nips. Never had either. Heinz or Hunt’s. Don’t use ketchup. Hungry Man or Swanson. What are they? Wal-Mart or Target. Neither. Never been inside a Walmart. Android or Apple. Ugh to both. Twizzlers or Red Vines (CAUTION: only one right answer here). Don’t know them. Oreos or Hydrox. Oreos. Keebler or Nabisco. Stoned wheat thins. Hersheys or Nestle. Lindt. Lipton or Tetley. Twinings. Chef Boyardee or Franco-American. Both awful. PlayStation or XBOX. Not into shoot-em-ups. Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth’s. Home-made pancakes. Not much for popular culture. ---

Coke or Pepsi – Neither. Can’t stand cola. Cheez Its or Cheese Nips – Neither. Can’t stand fake cheese Heinz or Hunt’s – Heinz. They know how to spell “ketchup,” at least. Hungry Man or Swanson – Trick question: Hungry Man _is_ Swanson Wal-Mart or Target – Wal-Mart, because it’s within walking distance. Android or Apple – Android. Aren’t trying to screw their customers; you get everything for less. Twizzlers or Red Vines – Don’t care. Oreos or Hydrox – Oreos. Hydrox is out of business, for one, and Oreos didn’t skimp on the filling. Keebler or Nabisco – Either. Some Keebler cookies are better than Nabisco and vice versa. Hersheys or Nestle – Hersheys, though they aren’t my first choice for chocolate Lipton or Tetley – Neither. I like PG Tips, Stash, Harney and Sons, and really _good_ tea. Chef Boyardee or Franco-American – Trick question. They’re both the same company. I wouldn’t eat either. PlayStation or XBOX – I don’t play games. Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth’s – neither. Give me _real_ 100% maple syrup. If that vanished, I’d go with Log Cabin. ---
