You might have heard of Thorstein Veblen's concept of "conspicuous consumption." In a nutshell (we'll return to this theme over-and-over in the coming posts), Veblen argued that people do not just "consume." They often are quite "public" about their consuming. 

Well, today's Theory Cartoon takes it a wee step further. This is a kind of showing off...about how "tasteful and discerning"...a person can be. The put down is exquisite.
