You write a story wherein Ranma eats her favorite treat...

The anime has inspired a lot of ice cream-loving Ranma stories. I've also seen a fair amount of chocolate-loving Ranma stories. But if you were to write a story, and the setting and circumstances didn't restrict you on your choice, what would Ranma like the most?

He probably eats everything. If I remember correctly he snacks a lot in canon.

True but I wonder what would happen if Nodoka or Kasumi were to make deserts instead of just delicious meals?

I can see the summary of that story now: Ranma learns how to live with diabetes. XD

I don't really like ice cream since that is from the anime and is too comonly used so I chose a drink. Though I think Ranma would probably chose a healthier food to snack on rather than a sweet one since I don't actually recall Ranma eating sweets in the manga often. I recall Ranma snacking on a lot of different foods such as Takoyaki (octupus balls), grilled corn on a stick, milk (Genma stole it causing the cursed doll to be knocked down), bowls of ramen (frequently), crackers/fish cakes, filled breads, etc. but don't recall sweets being very common. The only time I recall Ranma having anything sweet was during the times he (she at the time everytime I recall) was when sharing a drink with someone else (cup with two straws such as with the old man's astral form or Kuno a couple of times).

Well, it could be like that one time when he played Street Fighter with Hinako, and seemed to play it like it wasn't unfamiliar to him. We see no evidence of there being any video game consoles at the Tendo's, or him playing games at any other time, but that doesn't mean he hasn't or doesn't actually enjoy playing them. Even in the anime, I can only recall two or three notable times when he eats something that would typically be referred to as a dessert, yet it's probably only that one time when he (she, at the time) eats a parfait that has inspired authors to treat ice cream with such significance. I guess it just comes down to the circumstances, the cultural background and what the author was focusing on.

As for me, I'd want Ranma to like cheesecake, but I haven't put in a vote yet because I don't know if it's a cake, a pie, or even a pastry. I don't want to vote "other" unless I'm sure it's neither of those things, but even what I've looked up can't make heads or tails of it. ^^;

When you alter a poll it deletes all the votes already made on it. Many people don't vote a second time. So really no matter what you change the poll you are going to get skewed results.

Eh? What's this about altering the poll? :O

Oh, wait, I see what time it is... One of those mornings? ;p

Doesn't help that Glenn Beck didn't show up for his radio show yesterday and there were more terrorist attacks in Israel.
