Have you ever heard the expression, “you can’t take it with you”?
The idea is that “material possessions, wealth, and worldly goods are ultimately left behind when you die, so you should focus on experiences, relationships, and living a meaningful life rather than accumulating excessive riches.”
There is a gray area when it comes to knowledge though… like family secrets.
According to a survey, 10% of people say they have a secret chili recipe and they’ll never share it with anyone.
Not their kids. Not their spouse. Not even that one friend who always hosts the Super Bowl party. Apparently, chili loyalty runs deep. If you try to corner these people to ask what they put in it (other than the obvious things you can see, like all those beans) they’ll surely say something like, “Oh, I don’t know, I just threw something together.” Yeah… right.
Here are some more results from the survey:
1. 68% of people say they love chili and another 27% “like” it. Which means a whopping 95% of people are on board with chili in some form.
2. The five most popular toppings or side dishes with chili are cheese… crackers… cornbread… sour cream… and tortilla chips.
3. 26% of people like it as spicy as possible.
4. And 14% admit that it gives them gas. That number feels… low. Either some people are lying, or others are in deep denial. Chili is delicious, but it absolutely comes with consequences, especially if you went heavy on the beans, onions, and spice. And whatever the other “secret” ingredients are.
