The Lucky Charm Effect
The lucky charm effect happens when a certain undesirable object is left behind over a more desirable object till the very end, until the object is forgot about, thrown away, or forced upon someone. Such like picking the lucky charms out of the box, or a dog never being picked at the pound.

Daniel: “dude, it’s just the lucky charm effect.”
