This is going to be one of those autism open observation moments:
I was in the grocery store the other day and I had to buy eggs. As I looked
them over I noticed that brown eggs were on sale and the white ones were at the
regular price so I decided to pick the brown eggs because they were on sale!
(Duh!) As simplistic as that sounds, I find it fascinating that generally white
eggs tend to sell more than brown ones. I guess there are lots of reasons for
this like white seems to be a 'cleaner' color and more ‘normal’ than brown. Whenever
we look at pictures of eggs, most of them tend to be white. Let's just say I've
never seen brown eggs in a children's book or in a cartoon. To my
understanding, other than the color, there is no difference between white and
brown eggs! Again, I know this sounds silly, but since I have the mind of an
Aspie, these little things that don't really seem much actually are important
to me. I guess the colored egg thing seems to get me wondering why the white
sell better than the brown. Funny, colored eggs didn’t seem to bother people at
Easter!
When it comes to rock stars, there is a
whole different animal all together! Let's take water for example; it's the
only tasteless beverage on the planet (except Coconut water! I actually just
don't like it.) Many stars make these special requests for their dressing
rooms, usually called 'riders', and there is one particular water product that
is always turned down...Evian. Yes, I realize that water has no color, but this
leads me to my point about other requests solely based on color, for example, M&M's.
Van Halen one time had demanded that all of the brown M&M's be removed from
the bowl. I know that sounds strange considering that all the M&M's tasted
the same no matter the color. I remember several years ago how M&M made a big
deal on bring back the red M&M because of some chemical issue they finally
had fixed. I do know of just regular people only will eat a certain color of M&M
and leave the rest.
I believe I remember once reading that the
two most popular colors of vehicles were red and white. I'm not sure if that is
still true, but I do find it funny that a color of a car would make a
difference on how well the vehicle would perform. In politics, there has always
been a discussion on what would the best color tie to wear be? Most people
probably don't care the color of the tie; rather, it would be what they have to
say. I know we all have our favorite colors and that can make a small
difference in what we purchase, it’s just funny how many times it really doesn’t
make any difference at all! (My favor color is green.)
Just remember that all of us humans are
different colors too, but that doesn't mean we're all totally different. The
Nazi's used to think that color made all the difference in the human race, but
that was sheer blind stupidity. God loves color and He never makes mistakes.
