When’s the last time you played a game of “Would You Rather,” Lakeland?

In case you’ve never played, here’s a quick rundown:

Step 1 A question is posed that pitches two options. Example: “Would you rather live in Lakeland, Florida, or any other city in the world?”

Step 2 You decide what you’d rather do. No surprise here, we’re saying Lakeland.

Now that you’re a “Would You Rather” expert, let’s tap into our inner middle schoolers and play this nostalgic game, featuring some of Lakeland’s most iconic landmarks, qualities, foods, and more.

Don’t worry, we won’t ask you anything gruesome or anxiety-provoking (that’s not really our style).

Whether it’s choosing between seeing Elvis or Johnny Depp or deciding if you’d rather have a lifetime supply of Palace Pizza garlic knots or Cob & Pen fries, we want to know what you’d rather do.

Thanks for playing, Lakeland. Is there a “would you rather” question about Swan City that you’d like to see answered? Send it our way and we might just pose it to your fellow readers.
