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.

Gross. Idk why. It just seems gross lol

Pudding in cans was the best, it just tasted better. Juice in glass containers was also amazing. Plastic changes the taste and leaches microplastics into our bodies.

I’m really hoping we as a society get plastic out of our products.

I got so heated watching one of the congressional hearings where I girl asked Congress to ban single use plastics.

The politician was so condescending and finished off with "we need a solution before banning".

America had the solution before plastic... Cans and bottles.

While I 100% agree with you on the glass, and a can doesn't change the flavour as much as plastic..

Small cans have this smell (I guess skin oils reacting with the outside metal?) that you can't ignore when you eat right out of the can

Literally never have understood why a type of container makes something gross to some people.,.

Same thing with color of something. I mean, I at least get that in terms of color X is associated with Y... Just seems strange to me.
