Mark's side hustle came out during our career book chat

We picked a book about finding passion at work for our office book club. Halfway through, Mark blurted out he makes scented candles on the side. Suddenly, everyone was asking for orders instead of talking about the text. Our boss tuned in and got totally confused about the sudden pivot. Now every meeting starts with us joking about reading by candlelight, right?

Do you think Mark meant for his candle thing to become a sales pitch, or was it just an honest share that got out of hand? I wonder if people are accidentally finding customers at work or if they're sort of hoping for it.
