Well, here’s a fine how-do-you-do. Check out the Toys R Us catalog offering here… You can purchase a special pink microscope or telescope for your frill loving daughter. What’s that you say? A pink microscope’s not too bad?
Notice that each pink item is lower powered than the more sedate black and grey version. So yeah, your daughter (or frill loving son) might be thrilled with the pink one but they won’t quite make out the moons of Jupiter with them now will they?

So what exactly is the point of making a pink one if it won’t have as much power as the same product of a different color?
