I walked into a discussion at work today and ended up explaining the difference between light and heavy crude oil to, let's say impressionable youth in the 20-30 crowd. It's amazing how little some know about the liquid they frequently pump into their cars or how it's made. I started to use engine oil as an example too, but most don't change their own oil now.
After the talk I told them now would probably be a good time to brush up on their Spanish. They just looked at me blankly.
