- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

MODERATORS
What kind of food are you eating that is packaged alongside silica gel?
I have seen in in dried foods like beef jerky or seaweed.
Or anything freeze dried!
Ok guys, seriosuly no offence, but are you all from the states? I don't want to do the usual US bashing, but I've never seriously seen silica gel in any kind of food, and especially in oral medicines that are individually packaged in protective atmosphere. So I feel like like it's a cultural difference
Seen it many times in Europe (Czech Republic) and now in Japan in some packages.
Lemmy is probably primarily US like Reddit. (US here.)
I can imagine silica being in a medicine bottle. After you break the seal, you'll put the lid back on and the medicine should stay dry. I'm uncertain whether I've ever actually seen that, though.
It's included in bottles of oral medication as well.
Foods that are ruined by ambient humidity, that's what kind.
