What’s most popular?

I was at a restaurant yesterday and noticed they had 2 iced teas displayed. There was a black tea and a green tea. I asked the person at the register which was most popular. She answered that the black tea was more popular. I responded, “Thank you, I’ll have the green tea.”

Often our natural impulse is to choose what others, or the majority have decided is the best choice. Why should this be our first choice? Why not choose the other path? What might we discover?
