Earthling and decision making

Today, I turned invisible in a supermarket, those places that sell almost everything imaginable, and tried to catch Earthlings in a discussion. I wanted to find out how they discuss about non-formal objects. Well you Earthlings really have little need for talking I see, it took a while of waiting and sighing before I finally found someone deciding between a bottle of some drink.

There was two of the almost exact types of drink. But they were of different brands. Probably thats how the debate started. But still, they were arguing against themselves. I heard that they have tried neither bottle, and the bottles were taken off the shelves and put back frequently. After a while, they tried a coin toss, but they forgot which side of the coin represents the bottle, so the put away the coin. After that, they tried to take the two bottles to the counter to ask which one is better. But they decided against that for whatever reason. But when they got back, they realised that one of the bottles was only one of its kind on the rack, and they decided that it was the better one.

From today's exprience, I had an idea of how Earthling make decisions.

1. They toss a coin and decide.

2. The item of choice would be the one that is the only one or lesser in comparision on the shelf because the better item would be more popular and more people will purchase it.
