Should anyone find themselves in a car in Wyoming (elevation approx 6000 ft) wanting to put some mustard on a convenience store-bought turkey sandwich, and should that someone have in said car a squeezable container of mustard, and should that someone have driven in said automobile from, say, Seattle (approx elevation 20 ft), and should that mustard have remained closed since Seattle, it's probably a bad idea to point the mustard towards the sandwich in one's lap and open the squeezable bottle's nozzle.
The results are less than pretty. Picture old faithful spewing Gulden's spicy brown. At your crotch. In a moving automobile.
I've researched the phenomenon and have come to the conclusion that mustard becomes more volatile as its proximity to its point of sale decreases.
Either that or it's got something to do with air pressure, but I can't confirm it.
