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.

Why does food and consumables suddenly have to become political?
When will my Steak have Trumps Face printed on it? Do my cornflakes need some jets and other kind of political messages on it? Fuck no.
I just want to eat and drink. And the only thing I need to know from the packaging is what the product is about. Just stop making food political, what the hell is wrong with this world.
Some stupid print on the package is not going to fix this world in any way.
There is no driver of division to rival missionary behaviour.
I don't really think this is fundamentally different from how it's always been. Food and drink has always had branding, and I don't see how gay water is truly that much different from any other branding. The only difference I see is that republicans won't stop complaining about it
How would you react if someone prints Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross with bloody hands and feet onto your favourite beer. With a face of pure agony and some letters addressing charity?
Or how would you react if some company prints advertisement of Scientology onto their products.
The only thing that belongs onto a product is something to identify the brand, the expiry date, and what it actually contains.
That sounds quite metal tbh for beer. I would give it a go.
