Because nobody likes a pencil that always goes around thinking it's #1.

It's the kind of lead based on the shade (how dark) & the thickness (how easily it breaks). #2 is the most popular because the lead isn't too thin, and the shade isn't too dark nor too light.
Hope that this helps!

It is a measure of how soft the pencil's kead is... This affects how dark it writes... #1 writes lighter and is a softer lead.

Because the first one is not always the best one and the #2 knows it and that is all that matters.

Cause #1's are to light and #3's are to dark and #2 are just right... and folks tend to love things that are just right.
