mundane - a hydrocarbon produced by isothermal cracking. Never found in excess, mundane is very similar to other hydrocarbons and can be hard to distinguish by standard analytic techniques. The value of mundane is not sufficient to justify the effort of isolation or production on a large scale. Yet, mundane is found in nearly every industry and is occupied around the world.

A happy Friday night for mundane might be some takeout, a movie with the spouse, and maybe a cup of tea and a few chapters in a good book before going to bed.
