iPods and Facebook challenge beer on campus

I found this interesting. iPods picked up a lot of points over the past year. And even though iPods are on top of beer, the iPod picked up points somewhere else because beer is really only a close second. Not surprisingly for me, Facebook appears out of nowhere and ties beer in the Top 5 “In” things on campus.

    I think it’s kind of funny that iPod has surpassed beer like that. Back when I was in school, there wouldn’t have been any tech things on the “in” list. What happened to football games and late-night pizza?
