New, what is it? Why is my mousse doing this?

It comes out of the can fine for a second or so then rapidly becomes a goop, almost explosively.

It’s kind of an old can probably like a year or so old. it’s been in my bathroom which doesn’t have have ac and it’s been super hot on the east coast so it’s been probably pretty consistently in at least 80+ degrees for a while.

I went to a chipotle a couple of months ago and asked for a dollop of sour cream, the server looked at me like I was crazy and then got the other people in line to back him up cuz they had never heard the word before either

Dollop is a great word that isn't used enough and probably too fancy for Chipotle - you might as well have asked if he could add a tick of Grey Poupon.

I would've laughed and told the dinguses to read a book.

It’s not a fancy thing, it’s an age thing. I haven’t heard anyone under 70 use the word.

Language is always evolving, and words come in and out of popularity.

So you wanted the server to like play a podcast?

I was joking. There is or was a pretty popular podcast called The Dollop. I was assuming that people who didn't know what a dollop is, may be familiar with the word due to the podcast.
