GOOD or BAD?

coalescentThis is something I used to do every so often on umta. It comes from The Brunching Shuttlecocks, and it's the ultimate way of determining merit.
Simple, right? Just decide whether the following things are GOOD or BAD. There's nothing in-between. No 'it depends'. You have to answer all questions--there's none of this 'informed opinion' nonsense here! In the final analysis, when all is said and done, all that matters is ... how do you vote?
[Poll #369685]
EDIT: So far, I want to know (a) how![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ang_grr justifies her answer on the hamster question, and (b) how cleanskies justifies her answer on the liquorice-with-salt question. Explanations invoking temporary insanity will be accepted.
SON OF EDIT: Those who have decided that praline Flake bars are bad are also suspect. Even without having tried one, it's clear they must be one of the nicest forms of confectionary in existence.
THE RESULTS
GOOD
Hamsters in giant robotic hamster-shaped battle suits (89.8% GOOD)
Clicky (78.3% GOOD)
Genres (69.5% GOOD)
Praline Flakes (61.0% GOOD)
Having lunch at 2:45pm (59.3% GOOD)
The Line of Truth
The new Doctor Who logo (54.4% BAD)
Liquorice (61.7% BAD)
Days when you achieve nothing (66.7% BAD)
The Line of Beauty winning the Booker Prize (67.9% BAD)
Liquorice covered in salt (88.3% BAD)
BAD
What we've got for you is a list of things that you may come across in your own life from time to time. We don't care what you think about these things, we want you to answer one simple question: are they good, or bad?
Keep in mind, these aren't shades of grey. When and if we shut down the voting, anything that ends up above the line is good, anything below is bad, forever and ever, deal.

Date: 2004-10-20 07:52 am (UTC)It's been so long since I've even seen Orange Lindt, nevermind eaten it, that I can't recall that well how it tastes.
What do you think about the idea of an Orange Flake?

Date: 2004-10-20 08:23 am (UTC)I don't care how much fine-tuning it takes with the chocolate to get it just right, but I would be just that dedicated to my job... even if it took months, years, to get the Orange Flake just right!
