  • Homework Assignment 8/15

    Class, I enjoyed your last assignment and I think you are finally getting into a rhythm with answering the "why" portions. I am feeling in a good mood because tonight is going to be awesome and I am stuffed on the best pizza in western Wisconsin...Heath bar cheesecake pizza?  HEATH BAR CHEESECAKE PIZZA!  Anyway you get an A+ but if you want to improve your grade you can seek extra credit.  I am a fair teacher and will accept any work that you want to do to help improve your grade.

    Here's this week's assignment:


    Which do you prefer, Pepsi or Coca-Cola?  Why do you like that specific kind?

    Make sure you clearly answer all the questions.

    Get to work.

    I have to say that I prefer Pepsi Throwback.  There's something about all the artificial sweeteners used softdrinks these days that is alarming.  Also when I drink them it burns my throat but not when I drink the throwback.  I think the artificial stuff is harsh on my tract.
