Lament #0011 - Why not APPLE?

Time for a silly rant, as the last few have been heavily leaning toward disparagingly negative.

I recently conducted research on the mystery behind the three American flavors: chocolate, vanilla and...strawberry? According to the poll results 59% prefer the first two flavors to the later, or hate strawberry flavoring altogether. So, why then do we have strawberry of every variety? I thought apple was the American preference.

No one likes strawberry; not really. Not compared to other things. Granted, there is that 42% left on the polls, and that percentage loves strawberries--but in everything? Milk included? (Don't get me wrong, I adore strawberry milk, myself.)

I dare you to walk into a grocery store, find the snacks and sweets aisle and just try telling me that there's more strawberry sold out than chocolate or vanilla. Chances are most of the strawberry-pink packaging will be slightly dusty from neglect.

Wanna take me up on that?
