Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

IIRC, it was a Depression product created for the poors to have some chocolate in their short, diseased, cast-off lives.

La Croix has more "flavor" than Nutella is "chocolate". ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿผ

Question: why do people like La Croix? Ive tried every flavor and each one tastes like sand and pain at best.

Spoken like someone who drinks La Croix.

Lobster was once a food of the impoverished too lol

I've tasted of the water of lies, yes. Have you not? Are you confused at my example?

There are still laws on the books prohibiting employers from paying wages in lobster rather than currency. Yes, the oppressed have been so for a very, very long time, haven't they? ๐Ÿ˜ถ
