I actually prefer the blue ones first, if they're there. Then purple, but I also look at check if yellow means banana instead of lemon or if pink represents bubble gum flavor rather than pink lemonade. Then, I might actually select yellow or pink first. I know all this is childish but, *I'M* not a grown man strangely obsessed with showing maturity and misogyny..
