Because it was 2 bucks cheaper than the black electric toothbrush.

    I’ve been trying to add more color in my life and not just automatically buy the black things.

    I bought some blue-green golf balls, partly because they were $10 off. But I’m wondering, if I lose them faster than the white ones, did I really save any money?

      I never really thought much about color for most of my life, then I had a kid. For as long as they’ve been able to kind of hold a conversation their default question to get to know someone has been “what’s your favorite color?”

      My answer was generally blue because I’m male and that’s a pretty generic answer for men, but once they got me thinking on the subject, I realized that all of my favorite things were green. My favorite shirt (to the extent that it’s now basically disintegrated), my favorite watchband, hell, even my favorite underwear.

      So now my favorite color is green and, since the kid knows that, I have a lot more green stuff. It’s very sweet that when they go shopping with their mom they see something green and automatically say “we should get that for Dad!”
