People like to talk about the things they spend money on. They are particularly inclined to talk about sexy things -- cars, electronics, movies. They are far less inclined to talk about mundane things -- butter, socks, gasoline.
This is not new. Chattering about what we purchase has been a regular feature of consumer society for a long time. It helps us define for others who we think we are.
