You're overanalyzing this. Next thing you'll be like my philosopher husband saying things like, "Favorite? Ah, you're assuming that ice cream actually exists in the first place. Let us cogitate on that." ;) When people ask one to pick a favorite, I doubt anyone is expecting one solitary choice above all others and that decision must have been a constant throughout one’s life.

I hate it when I get asked 'favorite' questions, because what I prefer at any given moment varies quite a bit. I usually answer with something that I like that's fairly common, since they're generally fishing for some common ground when they ask for your favorites. I completely agree with you.
