Every time I'm asked what my favorite [fill in the blank] is, I feel as if it's a trick question. I have preferences. However, preferences and favorites are not the same thing. For example, I prefer iced tea or iced coffee over carbonated beverages. If I must order a carbonated beverage, I prefer Ginger Ale or Sierra Mist. However, I wouldn't call anything my favorite. Nothing is an absolute. I enjoy trying new things. It seems somewhat contradictory to the spirit of exploration to always be conclusively predictable.
