Milk, mineral water, OJ, etc

No, other franchises have already jumped in the market though. To answer your question. I certainly would prefer world peace and so would you if you'd take the question for what it is. Pretty dumb.

Next to come up. What would you prefer. A chewing gum or oxygen ?

No it's not dumb. I think it proves a point and makes an interesting statement on society (think about it) that currently 75% of people would prefer a Starbucks to world peace

I don't think your figures are representative. It's an highly theoretical question and therefore most people will respond lighthearted. Give them the real oppurtunity for world peace and you'd never get such a result.
