The Following is a Pop Culture Quiz designed by Boy in a box as an either/or dichotomy of the most ridiculous nature. I know most of you are familiar with this paradigm for fun back and forth banter. Some of the classic standards in music would be "Beatles or Stones", "Chuck Berry or Elvis", "Biggie or Tupac" and so on. It's basically a quiz of pointed preferences. You get the idea.
Some of the dichotomies on the list are pop culture standards or cliches that you are likely familiar with, and have possibly considered before. Others are stolen from friends and various places, and some are originals (likely also stolen).
Here's how it works: There is a list below with 25 numbered "either/or" preferences. Admittedly, some will be tough calls, even for me (and I wrote the damn thing). You will inevitably have a few in which you like both or dislike both. The idea is to not over think it - go with your first instinctive response. You must choose and answer for all numbered items to get an accurate score. No skipping or choosing both. I'll give you just one exemption - If you really must go neutral on a numbered choice, you get one and only one that you may skip. If you don't know the references on the list, well, you should be ashamed, and move on.
As this is a Biab indulgence of the silliest nature, there are indeed Right and Wrong answers. The Scoring Key is below the list. Please don't peak ahead of time. Enjoy, or just laugh at the whole thing. Either is an appropriate response. If anyone cares to post answers, comments or scores, feel free to add a response here on the blog, or visit our Facebook page and respond under the Quiz post.

Answer Key and Scoring Explained: Some of you that know me well may have already figured this out. As you can notice, looking at the numerical list of options as a whole, it falls into two vertical columns on either side of the "or". The Right Column, all the way down, for every single number, is the RIGHT answer. The Left column (first item on each option) is the WRONG answer throughout.
So, add up all of your Right Column Responses, and add up all of your Left Column Responses. There should be 25 total answers, unless you used the exemption for one, then there will be 24.
Scoring key:
- 13 or more answers/preferences in the Right Column: You are officially Biab RIGHTEOUS. If you had more than 15 in the right column, you're right at home, and we adopt you. 19 or more, you're our Pop Culture Hero. You'll love what we do here at Boy in a box.
- Even Score, 12-12 in each column (only possible if one was exempted): Biab NEUTRAL, but you should still stick around. We like a little challenge on our subjective perspective.
- 13 or more in the Left Column (meaning 12 or less in the Right Column): Oh jeez. Alright, officially this lands you at Biab NEGATIVE.
Though negative test results are a good thing in many aspects of our life right now, not so much on this quiz. However, don't be distraught, and certainly don't run away. We may be a bit suspicious of you, but there is always room to grow, and perhaps we can be a good influence.
Yes, I am absolutely fully aware of my excessive B.S. in the entirety of this post. That was, once again, kind of the whole point. I know it was fun for me, I hope the same for a few of you.

Hey Tod, I only had 6 in the right column, so I know you are very suspicious of me! And, I still don't know what BIAB means! LOL
haha. That is absolutely ok, and please stick around. We were a little full of ourselves on this one. Biab is an acronym for Boy in a box, which will eventually be a fully active indie production co. For now, it's mostly film and media critique and analysis. Thanks for visiting.
