    But nobody is excited enough about mustard to hear about it for that long.

    Some people are, but more importantly it’s about sharing your conversation partner’s excitement because you care about them, not the mustard.

    (Also, life’s more fun when you let yourself be excited by the mundane. We all die some day.)

      Right, but like I pointed out several times, they’re not any more excited about the mustard than I am. They just like hearing themselves talk. And it wasn’t about trying the new one, it was just 20 minutes about why the mustard she used to get wasnt good enough anymore. Like 20 minutes of mustard bashing just to say “I thought I’d like to try a new one”.

        Obviously they were if they were talking about it for 20 minutes.
