And The Winner Is . . .

Anonymous Poll #13 ended over the weekend and the results are in!

The question was: What is your favorite soft drink or soda? Each brand includes regular, diet & flavored of that particular brand.

And the winner was Coke! I'm a diet Coke-a-holic but I only voted once, so there must be others out there who favor Coke products. Are you some sort of soft drink-a-holic?

Here are your votes:

Dr. Pepper (24%)
Sprite (3%)
7-Up (0%)
Pepsi (18%)
Coke (39%)
Mountain Dew (0%)
Mello Yellow (3%)
Other (12%)

I was surprised that Dr. Pepper beat Pepsi. How about you? Do you think these results accurately reflect the popularity and preferences around the world? I wonder what soft drinks comprise the "other" category for voters. Perhaps various brands of ginger ale and root beer?

Thanks to all who participated!

A great big THANKS to all of you who participated; this one had more responses than any of the previous polls.

Results of Anonymous Poll #7

The results are in for the 7th anonymous poll on this blog. This one was for folks to vote for their favorite board games, and it was unusual in that people could select more than one, so the percentages don’t add up to 100. The other unusual aspect was that I couldn’t list every existing board game, so I chose just a few.

Here are the results:

Monopoly 20%
Scrabble 50%
Trivial Pursuit 15%
Cranium 20%
Scattergories 20%
Balderdash 20%
Pictionary 10%
Taboo 20%
Adverteasing 0%
Risk 0%
Clue 10%

Are there board games that you enjoy that aren’t on the list? Is there a new one you’ve tried that you really like? I like to try new games but, because they are not cheap, prefer to have recommendations. Any suggestions?
