The THIS OR THAT game

This is a fun game. It is simple to play, and requires NO thinking. All you do is make a choice between two things. The RULES are simple:
1. NO over-thinking -- just reacting
2. NO debating someone else's answer
3. NO posting of anything but your choice and the next subsequent choice for the next poster
Example:
Vanilla or chocolate?
Chocolate
Chocolate or Venezuela?
The idea is to take the subject entirely off track by trying to connect things that have nothing in common with another.
REMEMBER: this is merely a game of choice preference. When two unrelated topics are listed, just choose the first one that you want. There is no discussing, debating, etc. Just a series of choices.
I use this often in my classroom as a way to get kids to think a little beyond simplistic terms. (Believe it or not, our mind subconsciously begins to find connections to what we previously assumed were unrelated topics.)
I will start:
TACOS or PIZZA?
Go.
