I think you misunderstand what "or" does. It evaluates the first 
expression, and if this is false, it evaluates the second. The empty 
string is considered false in Python, so, if you modfiy your example:

	print('' or 'i like donuts')

it'll print the second thing 'i like donuts'.

'or' does not choose randomly between both sides - if you are looking 
for that, check

 >>> import random
 >>> random.choice(('donuts','apples'))
'donuts'
 >>> random.choice(('donuts','apples'))
'apples'
 >>> random.choice(('donuts','apples'))
'donuts'
 >>>
