I think it would be more fun to leave possibilities
like this open:

banana is more important than apple
orange is more important than banana
and apple is more important than orange

In the absence of more data, we can't rank them, but
add a few more "things", and you might be able to
(orange is more important than cereal, but apple is
not).

Hmmm, have to think about this.
