Would You Rather...Summer Edition

We didn't really know about sunscreen back then!

O my goodness! I remember my older cousins (also fair-skinned and blue-eyed and freckled) applying sun tan oil in order to accelerate a burn. They figured they would fade from lobster-red to golden and sun-kissed, I guess, and back then we had never even heard of malignant melanoma!

No, we had not! I just had a screen check myself and I am in the clear for now! But boy! My parents (father a midwest farm boy who lived in Florida for 30 years) and mom, who lived in both Florida and Hawaii, have both had bouts of skin cancer. Fortunately, I am mostly an indoor cat now, so I think I will be ok, but you never know!
 
Hmmm I am a fan of a nice cold drink but I actually get hives from too much sun exposure (no simple sunburn for me of course!) so if I could go out in the sun without that I would be thrilled!

Sounds like that would spare you a lot of heartache and pain!
 
Given the shake up we've had in Aust about SPF's not being really what they're labelled recently (from poor testing or something) and I've had a skin cancer cut out a few years back, so I have trust issues with suncream at the moment & would jump at the super power offered for me and the kids. I keep my water bottle in the fridge ready to go & take it everywhere anyway
 
I'm pale, freckly, and Irish. No sunburns please. I do get them more in the beginning of the summer, then tan after the initial burns, lol.

That is terribly sad! Sonic has the best ice ever!

I'm not in a good place right now without my Sonic ice. My mom and brother have a pebble ice maker so mom has been bringing gallon bags of ice every few days for me. (The secret to me not dying of dehydration is apparently filling my bottle with Sonic ice every morning, adding water, and topping off every time I finish it.) Thank goodness it's summer and school is out so she can ice fairy more than just every weekend.

It seems like a no-brainer for Aussies!

I need an ice fairy! I want my beverages ICE COLD ALWAYS! How sweet of her to help you this way!
 
Would you rather have the power to never get sunburnt or an infinite supply of cold drinks?

Never get sunburnt. I'm fair-skinned, and I burn easily, so it's an easy choice for me. I now work with SPF 50 sunscreen so I don't get sunburnt that easily.
 
Touch choice. Can I say both? If I had to choose, never get sunburnt. I am very careful outside to keep covered or use sunscreen. But I always have 2 bottles of water in the fridge (and a half bottle of water in the freezer) so I already supply my own cold drinks!

Scented or unscented? If I'm going to use sunscreen, I want to smell like a tropical delight! :giggle

If you only drink water and can keep it cold and handy, I think the sunburn choice is the better one. No one needs that kind of pain in their life!
 
I pick the power to never get sunburnt. I assume that removes my cancer risk? I've never cared much about drinks and mostly drink water from my tap happily.

I mean, I'm not a doctor, but there could be other causes of skin cancer. However, the sun-related ones would not darken your doorstep.
