I took the cup of strawberry yogurt out of the fridge.  It was the last cup of yogurt I had, and as I took it out from behind the milk, my heart sank.  Not cherry, not key lime, but strawberry.  It is clearly not my favorite. 

And then as I peeled back the foil, I began to feel for the poor cup of cultured milk.  I felt bad because strawberry is always the last pick for me, like the scrawny nerd in gym class.  That nerd had always been me.  But among the yogurt flavors, I would make sure to pick one of every other flavor, and usually several of cherry and blueberry.  Even plain-jane vanilla rated higher than strawberry.

 I resolved to be nicer to strawberry yogurt.  I promised to not overlook it at the next sale.  I might actually do it.  I even planned to pay more attention to it's half-sister, strawberry banana.  

I wondered, do other people feel this way about strawberry yogurt?  That it is inferior to the other flavors? 

Then I just laughed.  What a ridiculous train of thought!  Why am I even wondering about this?
