What's your most popular drink? Why do you want to know? Why base your order on what other people are buying? Don't be a follower. Be your own man.

Choose a drink you've never had at random and see where it takes you. You only have one life. Don't live it following in the footsteps of other people. That's kind of harsh. No, it's the name of the drink.
