“Chili represents your three states of matter:  solid, liquid, and eventually gas”

A popular line about chili was said by American actor John Goodman, playing the role of Dan Conner on the television sitcom Roseanne, “Don’t Make Me Over” that first aired on May 5, 1992:
 
“Chili represents your three states of matter—solid, liquid, and eventually gas.”
   
“Three states of matter” is often written as “three stages of matter.”
