I'm actually an example of this - where I don't otherwise care, I will pick the third option, or the option that's related to the number three in some way (preferably related to powers of three, but multiples of 9 are preferred over other multiples of three as well). If I didn't care very much about apples vs. oranges, I'd be fairly likely to pay a penny for the third box/button/whatever. I also know two people who feel similarly about the number 8.
In tangentially related news, I'm sad that I'm turning 28 next month. Yes, I know I'm strange.
You mean your second annual 27th birthday?
<laughs> Cute idea, but I value signaling an interest in accuracy/not coming off like a loon over being associated with the number 3. The former actually affect things in my life.
