This chapter delves into the essence of fun and the joy derived from shared experiences, particularly through food innovations like a unique corn dog baking pan. It also examines the intricate relationship between laughter and fun, addressing audience questions about the multifaceted nature of humor and enjoyment.

What exactly is “fun?” How will you know when you’re having it? Do introverts have special alone fun? Is it okay to seek fun in bleak times? Catherine Price is an award-winning journalist and author who spent years researching the science of fun for her book “The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again.” She let me lob many questions at her including: adult vs. childhood fun, what’s the difference between happiness and laughter and fun, what does fun do to your actual meat body, how can you have more of it, do substances mean more fun, and how to have fun when the world is crumbling in cinders around you – and why it’s important that you do. It’s a fun one, I promise.
