Hummus and Nutella as Metaphor or Sam-I-Am

"I don't really like hummus."
"What??"
"I don't know . . . I just don't like the taste of it."
"Okay . . . whatever.  I love it.  You're missing out."
"Well, I'll just try a little bit." (tastes some) "Wow, this is actually pretty good."
"What did I tell you?  The kind you had before must've not been very good."
"I guess not.  I really like this."

"I've never actually had Nutella."
"What??  You're crazy.  You HAVE to have some."
"Okay, I guess I'll try it.  You're always raving about it." (tastes some) "Oh, my God. Where has this been all my life?"
"See, what did I tell you?"
"This is SO good.  Oh, wow.  I'm going to seriously have to get some of this."

Moral of the story?  Try it.  You might like it.
