Python sees it like:

So evaluates the bit in parens first which results in a boolean value of
True.
Actually it sees it as:
if ((FirstChoice == 'Coke') or 'Pepsi' or 'Water'):
which will always evaluate as True.
Oops, you're right.
Always test...
# The short way
if FirstChoice in ('Coke', 'Pepsi', 'Water'):
Which is what I was suggesting so we get to the same end game :-)
