Poll: If you're broke and only have, say, a dollar, do you buy cheap food or a drink?

[bigredguy]

none of the above

i would buy a bullet and rent a gun, ok so i ripped that from some lame movie but you need better options to your pole man.

 

[Anfield]

I had that problem tonight, and I bought a drink...in fact many of them. I used my credit card.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Damn, I was going to say buy a cheap knife and mug someone, but it has already been pretty much covered.

 

[The Stigenator]

drink.. food can always be synthsied by the body from the fat... liquids cant.

 

[bigredguy]

can go 30 days without any calories but only like 3 days without h2o. so i guess i would say drink.

 

[Mapidus]

I'd buy a drink first since water is more essential in the shortrun than food. I think you could probably get free water with a burger at most fast food places though, or they might only charge 10 cents for water.

 

[bigredguy]

and i have heard of a water fountain so i would be tempted to buy food because it would be easier to get water, like a public bathoom sink, water fountain, most food places give free water. hmm...kets hope i never have to choose.

 

[The Stigenator]

you got me hungry its almost 3AM here.. time to hit Jack in the crack for their delicious 99cent jumbo jacks.

I'd take the dollar, donate it to the homeless

 

[Dedpuhl]

With one dollar, I'd buy the following

1 pack Ramen Noodles-----------------($0.15)
1 mini bag of Funyuns----------------------($0.30)
1 string cheese (kroger brand)-----------($0.20)
TAX--------------------------------------------($0.06)
TOTAL-------------------------------------------$0.71


Then I would go to the Big K machine outside and get a drink for $0.25.


I still have $0.04 left. Too bad they don't sell penny gum anymore

 

[ZeroBurn]

Dedpuhl - wow, that's college experience talking


i'd buy a drink and ask for a cup of water, they give those out for free. or a water fountain

 

[Dedpuhl]

Yep

 

[crawfish]

Why not just give it to me and you will make me a very happy person.

 

[Elita1]

That depends on how long I'd be broke for and whether I'd be hungry or thirsty at the time.

However, upon reading Dedpuhl's post, he's got it right on!
Man at university we were in Krogers constantly. They had awesome fresh made deli sandwiches.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I would find a rich guy and give him the dollar.

--don't ask

 

[GrumpyMan]

I would buy some Top Ramen Noodles, that way you get H2O and food.

I refuse to eat anything made, packaged, or touched by the deli workers in my store. I think you are better off not knowing why...

 

[Electric Amish]

I'll be facing this decision at the end of the month...

amish

 

[hpkeeper]

I guess you can only live like 3 days without water, so I'd buy a drink I guess.

 

[Electric Amish]

Why would people buy a drink?? You can get free water almost anywhere.

amish

 

[Elita1]

Yes, Dedpuhl, please keep the dirty secret to yourself because I ate quite a few of those things!
As long as they didn't use rat meat or make whoopie on the ingredients, I'm happy

I'd rather have a Big K Tropical splash over H20 anyday...
