I just like Coke better.

Lately I've discovered that you can get a Dr. Pepper at a lot of these places, which is at least something of an improvement. Of course, that makes it even more depressing when you go someplace where even that's not an option.
ETA: I forgot to say, I have a problem comparing the difficulty of a $1,000,000 win on Survivor to other shows, because it's guaranteed to happen exactly once in each cycle. How do you compare that to a show where, theoretically, it's possible for every contestant to win it?
