I can't believe it's Sunday again, where did Saturday go? As with every Sunday I'll be giving away some HSBI and DUO tokens. I'll also throw a legendary Splinterlands card in there just for fun. To enter all you will need to do is answer the entry question after all of the dogs featured today. Last weeks entry question was about your favorite dog breed, and I got some great answers. Some I hadn't even heard of before!

Let's have a look!

German Shepherd


dogexpress.in

This was the overall winner by far; picked by @olaf.gui , @ronnie10 , @henruc, @elizabethbit and @gwajnberg .

These beautiful dogs were bred to be working dogs and love to stay active. They are frequently trained for police and military purposes, but are also a popular pet. They are loving dogs that tend to be very protective of their owners and don't readily trust strangers making them a good guard dog. The are intelligent and easily trainable, I've always wanted one myself but once I had a child in the house I went with a golden retriever instead.

Shepherd's were a common pick including related (but different) dogs like the Australian Shepherd by @sylmarill , and Anatolian shepherd by @servelle .

Golden Retriever


wowpooch.com

Initially bred in Scotland the golden retriever is an affectionate and gentle working dog. Their friendly nature makes them frequently chosen as pets in families with smaller children. Many are trained as seeing eye dogs or entered into obedience contests because they are easily trainable. I love this breed, they make great pets!

This one was a pick by @silverd510

Dalmatian


britannica.com

Initially bred as a hunting dog with roots in Croatia, these lovable pets have become popular world wide. @silvertop and @elizabethbit had a pair of these for many years. They have been extensively inbred sadly, and have many health problems. There is a project currently ongoing to breed healthy and friendly Dalmatians to try to eliminate to diseases that came from years of inbreeding. I had a friend who had one of these and adored it, however she always told me he wasn't very smart, probably a result of inbreeding!

Welch Corgi


wagpets.com

Bred initially in Wales as a shepherd this breed may not be all that common in the US, and I didn't know much about them. They first arrived in the US in 1933 and have become very popular as pets. Thanks for this pick @kerrislravenhill !


geeksandgamers.com

This is Peggy, a Pugese breed, and was named the Britain's ugliest dog. However, she has become a popular dog actor. She was picked to portray Dogpool in the movie "Deadpool & Wolverine". She's one of those dogs so ugly that she's cute. Although no one picked a Pugese, I had to add her because she's a star!

Other honorable mentions were the Spanish Mastiff by @florakese , English bulldog by @geneeverett and @lumpiadobo , Alaskan malamute by @dewabrata , chihuahua by @hotdogsensei , Braco de Weimar Weimaraner by @lanzjoseg , Jack Russell terrier by @bannersandborder , and any bastard dogs by @whywhy !

This weeks entry question

What is your favorite brand of soft drink? Like Coke, Pepsi, Fanta, etc

The Giveaway

I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you two HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

If you have more questions about DUO feel free to ask, it's growth is exceeding all of our expectations!

Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:

A level 1 Djinn Oshannus card

If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:

@hiveborgminer
@kungfukid
@stekene
@elizabethbit
@ronnie10
@whywhy
@cositav
@hatdogsensei
@yusmelys

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one:
What is your favorite brand of soft drink??

HSBI

If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:

Or check out my recent post:

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

Please note I am changing it to earlier on Sunday to make it easier on me if I'm headed out for the day
One week from today which will be Sunday November 24, 2024 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

And the first spin!

Congratulations to @kerrislravenhill ! You have won 5 HSBI units! She is on a winning streak lately!

And the second spin!

Congratulations @dailyspam , you have won 5 HSBI units!

The third spin

Congratulations @bannersandborder , you have won 2 DUO tokens! Only 198 more to go before you can get a daily curation and daily Hive dividends!

The fourth spin

Congratulations @dewabrata ! You have won either a Void Dragon or two HSBI units. Just let me know which you prefer and I'll get it sent off to you!

Surprise bonus spins for 2 DUO Tokens Each

Today I did two bonus spins just for fun! Congratulations @cositav and @lanzjoseg , you have each won 2 DUO tokens!


That will wrap up the giveaway for this week. Next Sunday I'll be back to giveaway some more great prizes. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below. Especially to answer today's entry question! Thank you for all of your support, without it these giveaways wouldn't be possible. Have a great Sunday everyone!

my current favorite, Groovy. I change my soda drink time to time. before it was Coke Zero.

Anyway HSBI is better. I play Gold Foil only, so if you send me void dragon, it will be useless or It might end up beeing sold.

When I was younger there was this drink called Chapman it's probably exclusive to Nigerians, I'm not sure. I used to have it along with my friend. I think I liked it because of the Apple flavor. Although it is not a worldwide brand like Coke and Fanta. I think the company has gone into extinction in Nigeria.
Nowadays I don't take Soda anymore

Too bad it's a thing of the past. I don't drink much soda either, every now and again a Coke Zero. In my younger years I drank a lot more, but it really isn't good for you!

Thanks for the tipu!

It's been over a year I took any form of soda, I went for this random tests and it was prediabetes, and since then, I managed to get it well within normal range.

I love those regional drinks when I'm travelling! My favorite Coke is still the Mexican variety, it tastes so much better because it's made with real sugar. If you ever have a chance try out a Mexican Coke!

Congrats to the HSBI, DUO and Splinterlands cards winners.
As for as soft drink is concerned, I am not a big fan of soft drinks, but if I have to select One, I will go with Thumps Up as I feel it tastes better and makes us feel refreshed.

Well, I think after Pepsi and Coke, the next most famous brand of soft drink is this One in India.
But as I said, I don't consume soft (not even hot) drinks much unless there is some party with my school or college mates :)

Thank you for the prize, congratulations to all the participants and winners, thank you for this great and entertaining dynamic.

To get into context, since several years ago when I finally understood the damage that sugar does in our body, I have stopped drinking any kind of drinks like Coke, Pepsi, Fanta, etc, I have about four years in rehabilitation, because let's establish something, those drinks are addictive, right, so I just don't drink it.

But there is the dark side, the one that cannot be erased, and that is that how can you eat a pizza without a soda like COCA-COLA, that is my weakness, and sometimes I fall into addiction HAHAHA and a hamburger must be accompanied by a COCA-COLA.

That's my reality and my favorite.

I understand that! I drink Coke Zero now which has no sugar in it and tastes the same as regular Coke! My favorite Coke is Mexican Coke though, that stuff is good. I'm not sure what recipe they use in Venezuela, in Mexico they use pure cane sugar to make it.

I have tried it, but honestly I do not like it, so as I said I avoid taking them, only when I eat pizza, I do not know the recipe, what kind of sweetener they use here, I do not think it is sugar cane, although we are sugar cane producers here.

Favorite soft drink as a kid was Pepsi!😊
My dad actually had a friend that worked for Pepsi and delivered us a fountain dispenser, complete with 5 gallon tanks of Pepsi each Month!😊
Finally broke the habit a few years ago and drink nothing but bubbly water today !😇

Coca-Cola for me. It's the one I usually choose when I drink one. However, in the past several years I've reduced my soft drink intake because they aren't healthy.

Congrats to all the winners! It was nice seeing examples of all the various breeds of dogs.

What is your favorite brand of soft drink??

You know, if you had asked me a few months back, I would have said Dr. Pepper. But I bought a case of Dr. Pepper and discovered it's just ok. It wasn't as good as I remembered. But then I got some Root Beer. Pretty much any brand root beer. And I think I would say that's my favorite soft drink. More than cola or anything else, can't go wrong with root beer.

Carbonated flavored sugar water is amzingly expensive these days. We could save a lot of money by making our own carbonated flavored sugar water in large batches.... but that's not to healthy for us. !BBH

I got fond of Dr. Pepper for a while, It's like Coke with cherry blast. Cherry Coke did show up on my grocer shelves but it wasn't quite the same as Dr. Pepper.

Dr. Pepper is good. I really don't drink many carbonated things anymore, occasionally mineral water. The prices have just gotten ridiculous, so I almost prefer coffee or tea...

Considering my current medical health deficiency I have to stay away from soda pop. With the price more than doubling ,this kind of beverage has priced itself off my grocery list for good.
I've moved big time into Herbal teas for health support.

I know with certainty that the carbonated beverage is hurting, and a lot less aluminum cans are being processed through the Recycling facilities I am familiar with. Life has become harder for Binners.
