You might have one that is universally tolerated. Just look at apple pie. When instant pies only came in family size, apple was the best seller. Why, because it was often everyone's second choice. The first choices could be as varied as blueberry, pecan or banoffee. But, when they introduced individual size instant pies, apple fell to 4th or 5th popular, because you could suddenly please everyone as opposed to getting something everyone would eat.<br><br>This is what the internet has done for information.
