Jinx! Buy Me a Coke

one a day for all of MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You remember what it was like at the junior high cafeteria table during lunch hour (block A or B?). You would be talking with your friends about last night's Saved by the Bell episode (it used to be on Prime Time television, didn't it?) and suddenly you would be saying the exact same thing in unison with the person directly across from you (they may or may not have been enjoying a Slim Jim). Now, you have three options here. You can 1) chuckle, giggle and snicker at the odd coincidence, 2) remain dumbfounded and perplexed and therefore silent by the irony, or 3) quickly shout, "Jinx! Buy me a coke!" to which the other person (the jinxee) was then obligated to remain silent until released from the jinx. The jinx was officially released by the aforementioned jinxer's speaking of the jinxee's name. However, depending on the charity (or lack thereof) of the jinxer, the jinxee could remain silent beyond reason and decide to "break the jinx" (and the rules) and begin speaking. The penalty for such behavior would result in the purchasing of a can of Coca Cola Classic (they actually used to be 50 cents) for the jinxer.

So what happens when both people opt for option #3 and shout "Jinx! Buy me a coke!" in unison? Were they both jinxed? Did it simultaneously negate the jinx? Was their a "second-tiered" jinx one could say, like, "Jinx! Buy me a can of snap pees!"? I'm not sure and I can't remember. But I honestly think that a simultaneous jinx would make the universe implode. Or at least Slim Jim into oblivion.
