In this version of their meeting, Ted approaches Tracy and strikes up a conversation about her bold choice in car color. This sparks off a whirlwind romance filled with road trips, inside jokes about yellow objects and lots of lemon-flavored desserts.

Breaking the Ice

Tracy, taken aback by Ted's linked fascination for her car color, invites him for a ride. Ted jokingly confesses that he was wondering whether her love for the citrus-colored hue extended to her food preferences too.

A playful Tracy decides to stir the pot further. She decides to plan a lemon-themed dinner date that includes lemon chicken, lemon rice, lemon pie and of course, lemonade. This entire sequence of events forms the basis of their relationship, with its quirks, humor, and warmth all centered around their shared love for the lemon color.
