The first round of the Blazer’s Edge Best Things Ever Tournament will conclude in just a couple days. Before we get to what’s sure to be a massive second round full of impossible matchups, we have a few preliminary matters to settle. Some heavyweights are coming out in the last days of the first round!
For those who aren’t up to speed, each day we give you two opportunities to choose between two good things. The things aren’t related…they’re kind of random, even. There’s lots of food and music, because
those things are common to the human experience, but there are other things too. They’re smooshed together into pairs and you vote on one of the two to advance to the next round, March Madness style! At the end, we’ll have a single Best Thing Ever for 2026!
The matchup in this post is Cell Phones versus Doughnuts.
Where would we be without cell phones? Chances are you’re reading this post on one right now. Apps, research, search engines and maps, and staying connected to each other. People talk, navigate, and date through these pocket computers. If we lost them, the modern world would have a hard time recovering! Heck, you probably can’t go 10 minutes without checking yours, right?
But if you’re talking addiction, it’s hard to skip over the ubiquitous, and always-awesome, doughnut. Frosted, glazed, sprinkled, cream-filled…it’s a sweetness delivery system that’s accessible pretty much 24/7, anywhere, and it’s never the wrong choice.
Cell Phones or Doughnuts? Which will advance to Round 2? Register your vote and reasoning in the comments section below!
