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.

Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings. (files.catbox.moe)

I see! Wow, sugarfree Coca-cola has no labels!? Yeah I guess it wouldn't get any of those five but I would never say it's healthy. Maybe they should revise the standards for the labels, especially if they're gonna make a snack marketed as healthy that gets 3 seals. Seems like being made from natural ingredients (such as cane sugar instead of sweeteners) and without flavorants or colorants (opposite of what Zero Coke did to not get any labels) is one of the big selling points of this chocolate bar, so perhaps it would be a good idea to account for this with the seals somehow. But then people might think the government is just changing the standards to their conveniences so I don't really know.
