I have been instructed to take a poll

[Darth Vader]

The Galactic Empire must gather information from you so that we may further understand your community. You will give me the information I need or you will face the consequences.

Do not make this experience more social than it has to be. You will form an orderly line. When you get to the front of the queue, you will tick the appropriate box on the poll. You will not speak. After submitting your choice, you will return to your dwelling without incident or noise.

Failure to comply is... most unwise.

[roberttitus]

Do my pits smell funny to you?

[GaryCXJk]

Screw that, I'm joining the Rebellion.

[coolsome]

I hit dr pepper whats the worst that can happen?

[Darth Vader]

Your insolence is not appreciated. I have taken your names and forwarded them to the Galactic Empire; you will be punished severely!

[coolsome]

Do my pits smell funny to you?

haha funny?

[jeeno0142]

What do I do if I don't like either of them?

[Alcoremortis]

But I can't tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke!

[WarpSpeed]

Do they still make RC?

My favorite cola is whatever I'm in the mood for at the time.

[SHODANFreeman]

I voted Coke because they give you free stuff for drinking gallons of it.

[roberttitus]

haha funny?

So they do.... damn... I knew I shouldn't have tried this new deodorant

[Darth Vader]

What do I do if I don't like either of them?
You must choose one of them. You must!

You must choose. You must!!
But I can't tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke!
You mu- I mean, um... yes. Our preliminary tests have drawn similar conclusions. It appears that they are identical. For this reason, we must discern which is the preferred beverage. We can then investigate the technology the company in question is using to brainwash individuals into buying their drinks rather than that of their competition. This information could prove incredibly useful for us.
I voted Coke because they give you free stuff for drinking gallons of it.
Interesting. This may be a viable technique of persuasion. What "free stuff" do you speak of?
So they do.... damn... I knew I shouldn't have tried this new deodorant
It appears that you have misunderstood the purpose of this thread. Unless you are being purposefully ignorant to my power? That would be a grave mistake.

[Steve2000]

Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes [*cough*] or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fort- [*choke*]

.........

[Comrade Pants]

Wooo! Doctor pepper!!!

[Secret Fawful]

So tell us, Vader. Which do you prefer, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, or Doctor Pepper's Cola?

[Alcoremortis]

I reject this poll on the basis that two of the answers are identical and the third consists of prune juice and fizzy water.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

So tell us, Vader. Which do you prefer, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, or Doctor Pepper's Cola?

I have no preference.

[GaryCXJk]

You fool! Don't you know that Vader has no taste buds! He lost them while drinking hot and disgusting coffee in a fight against a Mighty Jedi(tm).

[Darth Vader]

This is partially correct.

[skeeter]

*Sings* Coca cola is it! Yeah...*

[Secret Fawful]

I have no preference.

If you're not going to choose then why should anyone else have to.

[Darth Vader]

If you're not going to choose then why should anyone else have to.

I am not a subject of this research.

[xbskid]

There are way more colas than the poll indicates.

[Secret Fawful]

I am not a subject of this research.

I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

[roberttitus]

RC anyone?

[Steve2000]

Someone has to say it:


I've got a bad feeling about this poll.

[Secret Fawful]

Guys, he's not the real Darth Vader. We all know the real Darth Vader prefers...

Force Choke-a Cola. /rimshot

[Darth Vader]

I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

You do not have the jurisdiction, the power, or the fortitude.

[Comrade Pants]

You do not have the jurisdiction, the power, or the fortitude.

Oh? You do?

[Fealiks]

I voted for the underdog. I can't believe more people haven't voted for Dr. Pepper, it's really nice.

[adventureaddict]

I'm allergic to caffeine :(

[Comrade Pants]

I voted for the underdog. I can't believe more people haven't voted for Dr. Pepper, it's really nice.

Dr Pepper fans, unite!

I'm allergic to caffeine :(

My... my god! How do you live? I'm so sorry you must suffer so. :(

[Alcoremortis]

I voted for the underdog. I can't believe more people haven't voted for Dr. Pepper, it's really nice.

Prune juice.

[Fealiks]

Prune juice.

I've never tried prune juice. If it's as good as you say it is, though, I think I'll give it a go.

[doodinthemood]

What does dr Pepper even have a PhD in?

[Fealiks]

Doctor is actually his first name.

Lucky for you you can buy sodas from Jones Soda Co. and Stewart's. Most of them are caffeine-free and absolutely delicious.

[GaryCXJk]

Okay, so the Rebellion kicked me out due to some circumstances (apparently they didn't like the "that's what she said joke", or it's because I blew up one of their bases), so I'll be heading to planet Spaceballs now.

[coolsome]

You fool! Don't you know that Vader has no taste buds! He lost them while drinking hot and disgusting coffee in a fight against a Mighty Jedi(tm).

did everything burn off in that fight?....:rolleyes:

[PecanBlue]

I never even knew Dr. Pepper was considered a cola. Is it really? Or is there some sort of separate cola product they sell I'm not even aware of?

I refuse to vote until my queries have been answered!

[Secret Fawful]

You do not have the jurisdiction, the power, or the fortitude.

Here's a little of all three.

Oh, and this isn't Agent Smith. It's me; we just look a lot alike. You can't see my face because it's a secret.

[GaryCXJk]

did everything burn off in that fight?....:rolleyes:

From what I've heard not. Most was due to coffee spilling of some Asshole. I believe it was Frank Asshole, I have to ask him that when I next meet him.

Hm... A desert eagle in .50 Calibre AE is pretty much all three. I mean, it's certainly not practical, but it is AWESOME and that's all that counts.

[Steve2000]

I though it was Major Asshole. Jesus, are we surrounded by Assholes?

[Fealiks]

I'd like to point out that Dr. Pepper stays fizzy FOREVER.

[Nintendo Boy1]

Is this just a sad, sad attempt at market research?

[Rather Dashing]

Okay, how is it that the International Bad Guys Alliance has no information at all on product branding?

Vader, the reason one of two identical(or highly similar) products are preferred, even when you do not consider price, is due mainly to brand association. It's very similar to propaganda, which I'm sure you and your Empire know well. The main difference is that, rather than one government, the propaganda is released by various companies. People identify with this propaganda and find themselves driven by marketing to believe there is an appreciable difference, or that by drinking one cola over another they are expressing some aspect of their unique identity while at the same time falling lock-step into their corporate overlord's plans.

I think that by studying the marketing and branding of Earth's companies, you could gain a lot to bring back into government-approved Imperial media.

So... what you are saying is... that I should kill all those who oppose me?
