7. Drums or flats?

The differing chicken wing factions have been at war for internet centuries (i.e., a decade or so). The flats family and drums family have had such a bitter rivalry that one day a drum and a flat fell in love and were so stressed that a drum faked its death and a flat drank poison to join it in eternal chicken afterlife. This is serious business. People have fought over which is better. Only Swizz and Timbo can settle this delicious debate. (The answer is flats.)

This is about someone posting a photo of a shoe or a dress or some other random object and asking Twitterers to guess what color it is, knowing no consensus will be met. It’s always a mindfuck that makes our heads hurt.
