an observation and a quick survey

i dont know why i find this interesting, but i figured it will be entertaining enough to post about, especially since i havent posted in a while. let me know if im wrong.

so i bought some cherries from a street vendor today, and while i was only planning on buying enough to snack on after dinner, the vendor said that i could get the second pound of cherries for $2 off, so i figured why the hell not. needless to say i have had my fill of cherries for a good while now, with plenty to share w/the roomies, which i did, and i noticed something:

why do some people eat cherries by spitting out the pit and then eat the cherry and why do others eat the cherry and then spit out the pit?

thoughts? how do you eat cherries? possible subconscious meanings? deep, i know...
