    I hope so. This means that my mum will live to her 100s then. She’s crazy for this stuff. Story time:

    >going to the market with my mum
    >mum puts a few trays of Brand A garlic bread into the cart
    >we walk a bit and grab a few other items
    >couple sales representatives of Brand B see the cart
    >roughly my age, 30~40yo, also men
    >they get mildly curious, ask me about it
    >trying to genuinely understand customer preferences
    >they also noticed that I didn’t buy barbecue stuff
    >I point to mum and say “the garlic bread is hers”
    >mum spends 15min talking with one of representatives
    >about her breakfast garlic bread
    >why she prefers that brand
    >how they could improve their own brand
    >the other representative annotates stuff nonstop
    >months later Brand B releases a line of garlic bread with hot pepper

    Moral of story: if you see a cart full of extra spicy garlic bread being pushed by an almost-40yo with a beer belly, don’t assume that it’s for barbecue. Sometimes it’s for the breakfast of some granny alongside him.
