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.

"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

Too bad about all the lead in them. They're not as bad as some brands, though.

if I die by eating dark chocolate, at least I'll die happy

Except it's the kind of poison that takes decades to kill you. And it's bad for braincells too.

oh so it's just like alcohol then, that hasn't stopped many people before unfortunately

[–] Shapillon -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But alcohol is paychoactive and addictive. Lead is non of those things.

Paychoactive and addictive?

Have you been buying your chocolate from the dispensary again?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

ooops

no I meant just the addictive part

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ha, fair enough, still not sure alcohol and chocolate are comparable in terms of addiction, but mostly poking fun, don't worry about it..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

obviously not but chocolate is also addictive to some extent

[–] Shapillon 1 points 2 weeks ago

I looked at the definition of addiction and it could fit.

The kind of brain damage that makes conservatism look good even if you are making below the average salary.
