It's a bit confusing because I wasn't ranking anything, I was voting for things. I thought I was going to rank the three things I selected, for instance. Some explanation of this might be helpful.
Maybe it's just because there's so many fruits I like, but I would have liked to pick more than 3. I was left feeling like the 3 didn't reflect much meaningful about my preferences, and was mostly about attention at that moment. Choosing up to 10 seems better to me. Or better yet, why not have it be unlimited? Unlimited with ranking? Unranked are set equal and last (except for unranked)?
I like the current system; it makes different users' choices comparable to each other, so the overall ranking shown afterwards is conceptually coherent. "Unlimited choices ranked by ordinal numbers" would make everyone incomparable with everyone else.

This is fun.
A couple of things:
