Small talk, big arguments

Why don't you try with some olive facts, next time you sit with an acquaintance of yours, sipping a martini, and looking at that olive floating around, thinking about starting a weather conversation?

Like:

-  that olive oil is the only oil obtained from a fruit?

- that it is the only oil that can be obtained just by pressing the fruits, without need for any refinining?

- that its trade was regulated at least since Babylonian times, i.e. 5000 years ago (Hammurabi's Code bearing the first references)?

I have many more, if we ever meet for a martini, I'll share them in person...

P.S. Speaking of martinis, drink responsibly! (Sorry J, I'll make it up to you next time)
