Choice blindness refers to the failure to notice a mismatch between one's intended choice and the outcome of that choice. In this case, Christy failed to notice that she did not receive the waffle cone she requested, indicating that she was not fully aware of her initial choice. Additionally, her preference for sugar cones over waffle cones suggests that she may not have strongly held beliefs or preferences regarding ice cream cones, further indicating the possibility of choice blindness.
