While having my Guacamole Bacon Burger at Carl’s Jr. earlier, I was suddenly reminded of the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility well into my third bite.
I think it had something to do with the bun, which wasn’t very fresh to begin with; coupled with the fact that they were stingy with the guacamole. Since I have this phobia of additional “seasonings” being added into my food complimentary from the waiter, I normally will not complain about my food if it’s well within my tolerance limit. (I know this will sound unbelievable but I'm not picky when it comes to food. Suprising, eh?)
After all, you don't really know what these guys are doing in the kitchen. Or even on the floor.
Anyway, the Law basically says that the more you consume something, the lesser you are going to enjoy it. I know I’m not the best Economics teacher in town, so if you’d like to refresh your memory on what it' is all about, you can read it here:

And to think that I spent the whole afternoon looking forward to dinner time.
In some ways, it’s almost similar to having the hots for some girl/ guy and one fine day, when she/ he is finally within your reach, all of a sudden the whole idea doesn’t seem as appealing anymore.
I think this is what they meant by 'the thrill of the chase'.
