What makes a favorite?

For your profound thinking pleasure I proffer the following question: What makes something your favorite? Some of my favorites are very certain. I prefer Purple above all other colors. Did I say certain? Because I can think of some circumstances when Purple wouldn't be favored at all. (Old ladies hair for example.) So, in honor of my question I will offer you my new favorite poem:

You may think me shallow or fickle
yet firmly I swear it is true
my favorite food is a pickle
but that's not my favorite for you.
For you I would favor a breath mint
you may think my preference rude
for the cost don't think me a skinflint
no importance is place on the food.
These choices are simply explain-ed
The pickle is a favorite treat
once the garlic my breath's truely tainted
mint turns my breath back to sweet.
Please, let me know what makes something your favorite.

Hmmm....
I'm thinking way too hard for a comment here.
What makes a favorite a favorite?
For food--the More-ishness of it included with the flavor
For experience--the level of intensity of emotions accompaining the said experience
For people--the way I feel around them
For games--the intellectual stimulation or "fun" factor
For color--it's ability to soothe and/or influence my moods

Liked the poem.
Glad you carry mints or other mouth-pleasing accoutrements in your pockets. No one likes poopy breath.
