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.

I have run into it once that I remember. There's the line with "17 38" in it from the Fetty Wop song "trap queen. A restaurant in a neighborhood I used to live in had a menu item that came out to $17.38 after tax. People would shout it back at the cashier. Mostly teens but grown adults too.

I think eventually they added a few cents to the menu cost to make it go away.
