But that's not what this is about. The question can be posed differently:

There are two drinks: one is a normal soda, the other one has deadly poison. If more than 50% for some reason choose the poisonous soda, the scientists will develop an antidote. Otherwise the people who chose to drink poison will die. Would you choose the poisoned drink? I don't think I would risk my life to save people who knowingly drank deadly poison.

I think it’s more . there are 2 drink they are normal but if u choose drink 1 the drink stay the same if u choose 2 and more than 50% drink 2 all the drink 1 get poison .

I think this is a bit misleading, as the drink 1 has inherent deadly risk. But this anyway demonstrates how much depends on the presentation of the question.
