Pepsi (max only)
Lamborghini (dunno why) (deffo Zonda as tedwardo says below)
Apple (only coz I just ordered a Mini Mac)
XBOX (it's got a hard drive) (should be PC/mac as they are loads better for games)
Playstation Portable (just coz)
MP3 (WMV don't work on my ipod)
Mika Hakkinen (I think)
Mclaren Mercedes F1 (yum)
Mercedes Benz (got one)
Toyota (never heard of General Motors although I'd rather have something other then a Toyota)
Samsung (got their lovely D500)
Adidas (coz I think I've turned into a chav)

Niether Maccy D or BK as all their burgers are made from cat or donkey or something and always full of burberry wearing single chav like mothers with kids called Britney or something with hair scraped so far and tight back they look like manky Michelle from Big Brother

Coca Cola or Pepsi? - RC Cola.

Ferrari or Lamborghini? - Porsche.

Microsoft or Apple? - Linux.

Playstation or XBOX? - GAMECUBE.

Playstation Portable or GameBoy DS? - N-Gage.

MP3 or WMV? - FLAC.

Michael Schumacher or Mika Hakkinen? - Ayrton Senna.

Ferrari F1 or Mclaren Mercedes F1? - BAR Honda.

Mercedes Benz or BMW? - Audi.

General Motors or Toyota? - Honda.

Sony or Samsung/Panasonic? - Sharp.

Nike or Adidas? - Reebok.

;)

In due seriousness, GM vs Toyota seems like an odd fit - Ford vs Chevy would be a better "rivalry". And I'm not sure you'd compare an audio compression algorithm (MP3) to a video compression algorithm (WMV). :p

Actual responses: Pepsi, Ferrari (like plenty of other marques more), Apple, PS2, neither (wait until PSP is available before deciding), MP3 (assuming you meant WMA), Hakkinen (Senna is still better than both), McLaren-Mercedes, Mercedes-Benz, Panasonic (for electronics - phones go for either SE or Nokia), Nike (prefer Reebok).

common Gokieks, thats ur personal favourites right? these are the VSs.... Ford and Chevy? u lived in US? i'll answer why it's Toyota and GM, GM sold the most cars in the world yearly. Toyota just outpass Ford and became the second. up to 2004, most car manufacturers have a decrease in sales and market share, whereby Toyota is increasing at some rate where only newcomers could achieve. The total assets and cash flows of Ford + General Motors is around 160 million USD. Toyota had a cash flow of around 580 million USD. Which means Toyota can buy GM and Ford in one day. Sorry, one transaction. Thats why it's a Toyota vs GM thingy; nothing to do with their cars. If it's bout cars in US; ok Ford and Chevy.

I know that, I was just making that point that to compare two companies based on their fiscal traits seems odd, considering all the other "rivals" are products and/or brands, and some, like Apple vs Microsoft, wouldn't make any sense at all of the financial aspects of the companies were what's being compared.

Michael Schumacher or Mika Hakkinen? - Hakkinen (rally is harder than f1)

I think you're thinking of Tommi Makinen, the former WRC driver. Hakkinen is the former world champion driver for the McLaren-Mercedes F1 team, and is now driving a Mercedes C-Class in DTM.

LOL~ didn't quite get my point..... we put them as Rivals due to their market influences, either by product, or by their history, or by their current standings and so on. I would've put Nokia VS Motorola by then but i couldn't now even though Motorola's still the second in cellphone domination; this is due Motorola's no longer Nokia's rival, Nokia's rival is everyone......... every company~

Mercedes Benz or BMW? BMW is cooler, though my parents have a Merc.

have you guys ever tried to mix diffrent brands of cola? i did (coke and a low budget swedish brand called Signum Cola) and my god it was disgusting! though i have to say that the signum ocla isn't really a winner. mix pepsi and coke and it might be better.

if i m not mistaken , frozen milk will seperate or something right ?

the milky stuff would become cheese at e top and the bottom half would be frozen water or sumthing

Im not sure bout that cause you can freeze milk packets and then defrost them to use later and nothing happens to the milk.

Hey guys, wanna ask any one of u out there is a fan of Nestle's Milo? It's a chocolate drink, cos i read from somewhere Malaysia consumes almost 90% of Milo sold worldwide. You guys would be amazed that every house hold in Malaysia would have a tin of Milo and not always had Cokes in fridge. :D

this thread has gone weird, it started as rivals, then coke wars, then mixing stuff and then ice cream. and i did my part every time we changed the subject:D.

edit: frozen milk is not good... i was oung, like 7 or so and i thought i would get vanilla ice cream. as i said i was young. and i like to experiment.

Ruler_70
02-17-2005, 08:22 AM
Well technically if you ad sugar and vanilla essence to the milk and then freeze it, you should be able to get something that tastes interesting enough.

tedwardo
02-19-2005, 07:08 AM
no, to make proper ice cream you have to stir it every so often to stop it from forming ice crystals (we did a project in science) and you have to add cream as well to make it creamy
