LOS ANGELES\u2013 David Philips of California and Wendy Hasher of North Carolina take to the internet to get to the bottom of one of the very first Would-You-Rather-questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, this argument has stirred up conflict amongst peers all over the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some claim that burning to death would be a much more painful experience, others contest that the pain wouldn\u2019t compare to the mental distress and prolonged event of drowning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight, these two face off in a moderated and timed debate to finally answer this question with never-before discussed first-hand experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no debate here,\u201d says David Philips, after suffering 3rd degree burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His opponent, Ms. Hasher, who was pronounced dead for 4 minutes, thinks otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have met God, he would agree with me, Ms. Hasher states confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will one be able to convince the other? Find out tonight on IG Live, Sponsored by Gavin Newsom and Dasani. <\/p>\n
