* ''Series/DiffrentStrokes'': An early first-season episode, "Goodbye, Dolly," revolves around Arnold's prized doll being sold at an apartment-wide garage sale. Apparently, his mother had given it to him when he was a toddler, hence his abnormal attachment to it, and Arnold is unable to sleep or even cope with his life after he realizes it to be missing; Drummond had absent-mindedly sold it. The trope kicks in when a private detective -- unable to track down the doll's new owner -- has a new one made, but Arnold immediately can tell the difference. (It is implied that Arnold eventually gets counseling and gets over the loss of the doll.)

** There are twin studies that indicate identical twins also develop divergent personalities (which would tend to be reflected in their choices of hair and clothing styles). Twins who grow up separately tend to develop personality traits that are much more alike than both non-twin and non-identical twin siblings who grow up separately (suggesting that there are strong genetic predispositions for many personality traits), while those who grow up together tend to develop much less similar personality traits than both non-twin and non-identical twin siblings (suggesting that the human drive to be unique generally overrides any genetic predispositions). If true, the common tendency for parents to dress and treat identical twins identically would likely reinforce the personality divergence.
