Mundane basically means common. Unboiling an egg is not common, a candy bar melting in one's pocket is common.



Please don't omit the "when compared to" clause.

Driving is mundane when compared to flying a fighter jet in combat. But driving is not mundane.

And I don't understand why you're still saying the candy bar melting in Spencer's pocket isn't surprising. It's his story. Spencer himself said it was surprising. Can't you take his word for it?
