Drink any soda

Two sodas arrayed on a table.  One is brown and the other is yellow.  You are free to drink either soda.  Which soda will you drink?  Studies show that 60% of people will drink the brown soda and 40% of people will drink the yellow soda.

The brown soda tastes like garbage.  You have been tricked.  You attack the scientist, but his goons pull you off.  You are handcuffed roughly.  One goon pulls your shoulder out of its socket.  Recovery from this injury will be slow and painful.  You are thrown in a cell and the guard throws soda in your face.  You are charged with assault.  The scientist testifies against you and weeps on the stand.  A deranged spectator throws acid in your face.

Do not drink the soda even when the scientist asks you to.
