To donate, people had to answer one of the following questions: Bacon or chocolate? Android or iPhone? Chrome or Firefox? Chrome vs. Firefox was the most competitive, and became the source of quite a lot of debate (and judgement. And disgust). Several people also asked where Internet Explorer was (a company first, if not a world first). We can&rsquo;t wait to see which comes out on top in each instance; Bacon is a clear winner against Chocolate, but Android and iPhone seem to be pretty neck-and-neck.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"360\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" msallowfullscreen=\"\" oallowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/heartinternet\/15593878467\/player\/\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/heartinternet\/sets\/72157648861685430\/\" target=\"_blank\">Check out the rest of the photos on Flickr!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"640\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" msallowfullscreen=\"\" oallowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/heartinternet\/15593201539\/player\/\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"407\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year we headed down to Derby Royal Infirmary to sell homemade cakes for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
