STEP FIVE:
This Or That…

Pepsi or Coke: Regular Coke, Diet Pepsi.
McDonald’s or Burger King: McD's, primarily because I usually only go there for breakfast and I don't love BK's breakfast choices. Except the Cinna-minis, but that's why I shouldn't be there.
Adidas or Nike: Neither, really. I have never had Adidas, had Nikes in college, and bought whatever's on sale since then.
