if you get a minute...

i'd appreciate it if you took this survey during some free time.

The Beverage Survey

it's 10 questions long. plus if you could answer the following demographic info:

Your age? 0-10 : 11-21 : 22-32 : 33-43 : 44-54 : 55 - 65 : 66+
Your gender? Male Female Other
Your marital status? Single : In a Relationship : Married/Joined : Separated : Divorced : Widowed : Other (please specify)
Education level: Some HS : HS Diploma : Some college : Undergraduate : Associate's : Bachelor's : Master's : Doctorate : Other (please specify)

if you don't feel comfortable posting the answers to the demographics for everyone to see you can always pm them to me. i'm trustworthy. it would help me immensely.

also, the survey was created using survey monkey and for some reason the first response to each question repeats the question, then has the possible response after. i don't know why that happens, but yeah...you can still mark the first response.

ATTN!!!!! pleeeease do not complete the survey w/o sending your demographics. if you already did the survey, send me your demographics. otherwise, you're a bad person.

ok, well maybe not a bad person...but long story short, the demographics may seem very trivial and unimportant to you (and they mostly are) but they are important to me at the moment. i won't tell a soul.

I dids the surrrveyz but did not know where to send in my demongraphics. What do I do now Homie?

you could always pm me.

as could everyone else who seems to think it is cute to take the survey and not send me their dems.

i applaud you, good people of dxp, for your selection of alternative beverages to soda and your high consumption of teh H2O. *claps*

although, it seems like a lot more people drink soda when they eat out than at home. interesting, and yet not in a good way.
