I apologize for not writing in my blog in ages but I thought it’d be the perfect time to start on a Wednesday with a ‘Would You Rather Wednesday?’ question. Today’s question is pretty simple: Would you rather drink Coca-Cola or Pepsi?

Coca-Cola: I’m referring to the Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, and Coca-Cola Zero products (this does not include all of the other beverages that Coca Cola owns)

Pepsi: I’m referring to the Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Pepsi Max products (this does not include all of the other beverages that PepsiCo owns)

Today’s ‘Would You Rather Wednesday’ is a little different than the previous ones. I’m giving you four options to choose from and they are all really bad situations. Today’s question is, ‘Would you rather fall to your death, burn to death, drown to death, or be eaten alive?’ Please read the below scenarios for the specifics of your horrible death!

Fall to your Death: You know how all of your friends always say they want to go skydiving? You caved in to their peer pressure and you went. You jump out of the plane with your instructor and then he realizes that the parachute won’t open. He says, “Don’t worry, that’s what the backup parachute is for!”. He then tries to open that one and it won’t open either. You are now cutting through the air with nothing to slow you down.

Burn to Death: You’re in an enclosed room that is locked shut. You’re surrounded by flammable objects and the fire has spread to a point where you have absolutely no way to put it out. It’s a large room and you’re on the other side of the fire. It’s only a matter of time until it reaches you.

Drown to Death: (DISCLAIMER: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS OF THE MOVIE TITANIC)  You’re Jack Dawson on the Titatic in the scene where he’s handcuffed to the pipe while the ship is sinking. The only problem is that there is no Rose to come and save you with an ax. The room is slowly filling up with water and your demise is inevitable.

Eaten Alive: Like a scene from Resident Evil, you wake up one day and you’re stuck in a mansion. Doesn’t seem too bad. The only problem is everyone that you know and everyone in the mansion is a hungry flesh eating zombie. You’re their dinner for tonight and there’s no way out of the mansion.

This Would You Rather Wednesday is going to hurt … literally. Today’s question is, “Would you rather be punched in the face by Mike Tyson or hit with a bat in the chest by Barry Bonds?” It’s going to hurt either way so you’re in trouble either way. Some things to think about:

Mike Tyson: Mike Tyson has 50 professional boxing wins. 44 of them were by Knock Out. He has completely floored some of the best fighters of all time. He’s punching you in the face.

Barry Bonds: Barry Bonds has the record for most home runs in a single season and also has the record for most career home runs. He swings pretty hard. He’s hitting you in the chest.

I’d like to thank Stephanie Behie for today’s ‘Would You Rather Wednesday’ question. I think this is one of the toughest choices yet. To my faithful fans, I ask you, ‘Would you rather not be able to eat salty junk food (chips, popcorn, etc) or sweet junk food (cake, ice cream, candy, etc) for an entire month?

Some Delicious Salty Junk Food: Potato Chips, Pretzels, Popcorn, Doritos, Party Mix, Cheeze-Its, Cheetos, Cheese Puffs, Hot Fries,Goldfish, Fritos, etc.

Some Delicious Sweet Junk Food: All Cake, All Ice Cream, Gushers, OREO cookies, Twizzlers, Chocolate Bars, Sweedish Fish, etc.

Today’s ‘Would You Rather Wednesday’ is a tough one. I ask you this question: ‘Would you rather not be able to listen to music for 3 months or give up your cell phone for 3 months?’ It takes two things that everyone loves and makes you choose between them. As usual, here are some rules and things to think about:

No Music: You can’t listen to music at all for these three months. This includes television (no MTV!), no bars, no clubs, no movies, etc. If there’s music, you can’t hear it.

No Cell Phone: No cell phone at all. No iPhone. No iPad, none of that stuff. Picture your life during the 90s when you actually had to go and socialize and call people on land line telephones. That would be your life for the three months. I’m the type of person who freaks out if they don’t know where their phone is for 5 minutes, let alone 3 months!

Today’s Would You Rather Wednesday question is ‘Would you rather be stuck in a broken elevator for 10 hours or on a broken ski lift for 10 hours?’ Some Rules:

For Both: You’re by yourself. You have no electronic devices on you (no iPhone, no iPad, NOTHING!) The only food you have on you is an Almond Joy and some Tic Tacs.

EDIT Broken Elevator: You’re in the oldest elevator in ALL of New York City. This thing is freaking scary. It breaks down all the time, the door closes on people’s body parts. You’re surprised it even works. There’s no elevator music. It’s in the heart of Winter and this elevator doesn’t have heat. You’re stuck in-between the two highest floors of this building.

Broken Ski Lift: You’re at one of the highest points of the ski lift where it’s impossible to jump down. It’s pretty cold outside (you were skiing!). @Matt Ramos — The ski lift is not going to fall or break.

I apologize for skipping last week (it wont happen again, I swear!). Today’s Would You Rather Wednesday question is, “Would you rather have no phone or no Internet for a month?’ Some rules:

No Phone: You will no longer have your phone. You can’t use it for anything. You will have to find another way to keep in contact with all of your friends and make plans. You can’t use a house phone or a tablet computer either. You’ll have to use alternative methods such as carrier pigeons, email, aim, etc.

No Internet: You can’t use anything Internet related at all. Think of the Junior High School days when all you had was those brick Nokia phones that you played Snake on all day in class. You can’t use a computer for e-mails, streaming music, Facebook. If you have an iPhone, it will still operate as a phone but you’ll have no data plan (no browsing, no Draw Something, NOTHING!)

I apologize for missing last week’s ‘Would You Rather Wednesday’ due to illness.

Today’s Would You Rather Wednesday question is real simple: Would you rather be a man or be a woman? Choose wisely.

With the Super Bowl still fresh in everyone’s mind (Sorry Rohan), I thought it would be a fun question to ask if you would rather be Eli Manning or Tom Brady. I’m sure everyone knows who they are so I’ll add some quick notes to think about:

Be Eli Manning: You just won the Super Bowl and named the Most Valuable Player. You have now won two Super Bowls (one more than your brother) and you are one of the most famous people in Sports right now. You’re probably considered an elite quarterback in the league and you’re coming off the best season in your career. You are a Tom Brady Assassin.

Be Tom Brady: You’re Tom Brady — what else do I need to say? You’re married to Gisele Bündchen and one of the best quarterbacks of all time. You’ve won 3 Super Bowls, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, 7 Pro Bowls, 2 NFL MVPs and you look like Tom Brady. You somehow manage to take whatever scrub squad of people that the Patriots assemble and make them look like superstars. You are “as cool as the underside of the pillow” and as good as it gets.

Go Back in Time Once: You can use this ability at any point in your life. You can’t take anything with you and all you have is whatever you can memorize at that point. You can pick any time of your life to go back to.

Ability to Turn Invisible: You are essentially The Invisible Woman and can turn yourself invisible at any time. Only your body is invisible and anything you hold or touch (your clothes, bags of money from a bank, etc.) is not invisible.

UPDATE: There has been some confusion on the “Go Back in Time Once” part. When you choose this option, you will pick a moment in your life that you want to relive (high school, college, the SAT, old relationship, etc.) Once you select that time, you are transported back to that exact moment that you decide on. You will remember everything that you know at that exact moment but you will be in the chosen time. You do not go back and forth through time — you are simply reliving your life from that moment with what you know now (a do over). Let me know if you have any additional questions about this Would You Rather and choose wisely!
